Manhattan Contracts: "Succession" penthouse finds a buyer; Soho penthouse teases new neighborhood record

180 East 88th Street, #PH (Sean Hemmerle)Because the penthouse at 151 Wooster Street was never publicly listed and took place in an off-market deal, it was not picked up by Olshan Realty's luxury market report. The top contract they recorded was for the penthouse at 180 East 88th Street, which entered contract with a $29,000,000 asking price. It was originally listed for $28 million when the building began marketing off floor plans in 2017; the price was raised to $33 million in 2022, but lowered to $29 million in January 2023. The five-bedroom triplex with multiple private terraces is located in its neighborhood's tallest building, but is best known for its appearance as Kendall Roy's apartment in an episode from the last season of Succession. As the buyer of this sponsor unit was not identified, we cannot say whether they were a fan of the show or not.180 East 88th Street (CityRealty)180 East 88th Street, #PH (Sean Hemmerle)From the Listing:
