$100M condo sale breaks record for most expensive apartment ever sold in Manhattan Deal sets a new benchmark for city real estate

Marchmade One57 will be home to some of the city's most wealthy residents
A palatial apartment on 57th St.’s so-called ‘Billionaires’ Row’ has broken the record for the most expensive apartment ever sold in Manhattan

Hedge fund mogul Bill Ackman buyer dropped a staggering $100.47 million on the apartment, which occupies the entire 89th and 90th floors of One57, the high-end apartment tower overlooking Central Park at 157 W. 57th St., according to city records.

The property is the first single-family home to sell for an excess of $100 million in the city’s history.

“This is going to set a new benchmark for real estate in New York, especially in new developments,” said Ben Benalloul of brokerage RLTY NYC. “I think this is a record we’re going to see broken several times over the next two tears.”

Ackman’s purchase, while already reported, was widely thought to be for just $90 million.

The finance honcho reportedly doesn’t even plan on living in the breathtaking duplex apartment, which he bought for sport with a few close friends. Instead, he plans on flipping it for a quick profit a few years down the line.

Ackman has already reached out to several top brokers to help him guage whether or not the apartment would sell for a decent profit if relisted immediately, sources told the Daily News.

Developer Gary Barnett of Extell Development, who built the tower, was not immediately available for comment.
