A five-bedroom penthouse at The Henry on West 84th Street went into contract asking $26.9 million last week, leading a batch of 19 Manhattan luxury home sales that also included a $25.5 million unit inside the converted Flatiron Building. The two properties, one newly finished and the other opened as a residential address with amenities expected to be completed in early 2027, accounted for the priciest deals in a week that saw luxury contract volume tick upward across the borough.
Penthouse West at 211 West 84th Street spans 4,900 square feet with five bedrooms and five bathrooms, two terraces, a great-room fireplace and Hudson River views, according to The Real Deal. The unit first hit the market in August 2024 asking $25.3 million, meaning it went into contract this week roughly $1.6 million above its original launch price. Sales at The Henry are led by a Compass team headed by Alexa Lambert, with Alison Black and Shelton Smith rounding out the group, the outlet reports.
The Henry itself only just wrapped construction, delivering an 18-story, 209-foot tower with 45 condo units and 2,898 square feet of ground-floor retail, according to New York YIMBY. Hill West Architects served as architect of record alongside design firm Robert A.M. Stern Architects.
A Rocky Path to a Finished Tower
Naftali Group originally purchased the West 84th Street site for $71 million in 2022, but construction stalled until summer 2023 amid a legal battle and buyout involving a holdout rental tenant, Hoodline previously reported on the site's backstory. The New York State Attorney General accepted the building's $488.9 million condo offering plan in March 2024. Florida-based health cafe chain Pura Vida Miami is planning to open in the ground-floor retail space, marking the chain's expansion into the Upper West Side.
Per the same Real Deal report, The Henry has now closed 39 of its 45 units at an average price of roughly $3,000 per square foot. A townhouse unit within the development found a buyer in March asking $17 million. One unit, Penthouse East, remains on the market with a $27 million asking price. Amenities include doormen, a fitness center, a porte-cochere and a bowling alley.
Flatiron Building Keeps Pace With $25.5M Contract
The second-priciest deal of the week landed at 175 Fifth Avenue, where a unit known as 19 North went into contract at a last asking price of $25.5 million. The 4,600-square-foot residence has four bedrooms and four full bathrooms, plus a great room with 12-foot ceilings overlooking Madison Square Park, according to the report.
The Flatiron Building, developed by the Brodsky Organization and Sorgente Group, has found buyers for 17 of its 36 units since sales launched roughly a year ago. The Corcoran Sunshine sales team, including Angeli Dececchis and Michele Hinojos, is handling the project, which carries an average asking price near $4,800 per square foot — well above The Henry's closed pricing. Amenities at the Flatiron conversion include doormen, a gym, a lap pool, a sauna and a cold plunge.
The 124-year-old landmarked tower, originally opened in 1902 as the Fuller Building, required extensive Landmarks Preservation Commission approvals to complete its transformation, according to CoStar. Crews replaced roughly 1,000 exterior windows with exact historical replicas and installed exterior lighting for the first time in the building's history. Interior architecture across the 36 units, which range from about 3,000 to 7,400 square feet, was handled by Studio Sofield, with a total projected sellout valuation of approximately $380.9 million, per Capdex.
The conversion was financed in part by a $357 million construction loan from Tyko Capital, secured by Brodsky, Sorgente and GFP Real Estate in October 2024, as reported by Commercial Observer. Brodsky had acquired a stake in the property in 2023 to spearhead its redevelopment.
Weekly Contract Volume Ticks Up to 19
Across Manhattan, 19 luxury homes asking $4 million or more found buyers between September 14 and September 20, according to Olshan Realty figures cited by The Real Deal — up from 16 properties the previous week. That group of 19 homes included 14 condos, four co-ops and one townhouse, with combined asking prices totaling $197 million, a median of $7.8 million and an average of $10.4 million. The typical home in the batch had spent nearly two years on the market and was discounted by 3 percent from its final list price.
The two projects have prices ranging from roughly $3,000 to $4,800 per square foot.
The week's Manhattan luxury contracts included deals above $10 million.
What to Watch as Sales Continue
With 17 of 36 units at the Flatiron Building already under contract and construction there expected to wrap in early 2027, the pace of remaining sales — particularly for penthouses priced above $25 million — will be a signal of whether high-net-worth buyer appetite holds through the rest of the conversion. Meanwhile, at The Henry, only a handful of units remain unsold as the building settles into its role as one of the Upper West Side's newest luxury addresses.
