The Trophy Winners: Manhattan's 20 Biggest Home Sales of 2014
Featuring Noble Black's sale at One57, 157 W 57th Street, Midtown West, Manhattan.
17. 157 West 57th Street, No. 58A, $34 Million
This three-bedroom condo not only has the distinction of sharing the 16th spot with Ms. Deng's expensively-retained real estate holdings, it's also One 57's first flip. The unit, a 4,483-square-foot, glass-walled spread, sold for a $3.5 million profit a mere five months after SSO enterprises, a Chicago-based LLC, purchased it for $30.55 million. Whether or not the resale made Gary Barnett's heart soar or sink remains a mystery. Not so mysterious was the buyer, private equity manager Harvey Sandler and his wife, Phyllis, who were clearly eager to leave behind their dated two bedroom at the nearby Metropolitan Tower.
