$9.5M Harlem Penthouse Sets Neighborhood Sales Record: Report

HARLEM, NY — An apartment in one of Harlem's most expensive developments has set a new sales record for the neighborhood, according to reports.

The 11th-floor penthouse of Circa Central Park — a new apartment complex located within Frederick Douglass Circle Plaza — has sold for $9.5 million in a deal that closed this month, the Wall Street Journal first reported. The sales price makes the penthouse the priciest apartment ever sold in Harlem, according to the report.

Harlem's previous sales record was held by another unit in the same development that sold for $7.4 Million. It appeared as though a pre-war condo conversion on Adam Clayton Powell Jr Boulevard would set the neighborhood's record when a $9 million penthouse hit the market earlier this month, but the unit would now have to sell well above its asking price.

The Circa Central Park penthouse spans its entire 11th floor and features five bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms in the 3,734-square-foot space, according to real estate listings. The apartment also contains a 1,219-square-foot private terrace with views of Central Park and Morning Side Park.
