Barely a few weeks into 2015, the final figure for the priciest condo sale in Manhattan’s history emerged: $100.5 million. In a blockbuster deal that began in 2012, but wasn’t finalized until Dec. 23, 2014, the penthouse at One57 clocked in at a precise $100,471,452, easily eclipsing the previous record of $88 million set in 2012.
As we head into 2015, we considered other New York City records that could be broken this year, from most expensive sale price and largest rental to shortest time on market.
