A 7,000-square-foot penthouse at 1110 Park Ave. in Manhattan has gone under contract for approximately $25 million. This sale is part of a broader trend that saw 25 luxury contracts signed in the borough during the week ending October 11, 2026.
Why it matters
The luxury market remains active even as buyers weigh the impact of ongoing tax obligations like the city's pied-à-terre surcharge. For high-net-worth households, these transactions highlight the continued demand for premium real estate inventory despite significant monthly carrying costs.
The penthouse at 1110 Park Ave. carries monthly HOA fees of $17,407, adding to the total ownership cost beyond the $25 million purchase price. The property is subject to a 6.5% effective pied-à-terre surcharge for condos valued above $5 million.

The details
The 16-floor boutique building features only nine exclusive residences, underscoring the scarcity driving these high-end transactions. Owners of these luxury units must also manage complex tax filings, such as the upcoming October 13, 2026, deadline for pied-à-terre surcharge exemption applications. The penthouse property includes a 1,600-square-foot private rooftop and custom furnishings, reflecting the premium amenities often associated with these multi-million dollar deals.
Timeline
2019: The 1110 Park Ave. penthouse previously sold for $17.25 million.
January 2026: The penthouse was listed for $24,950,000.
October 11, 2026: The week ended with 25 new luxury contracts signed in Manhattan.

Money Landscape
Luxury residential sales in Manhattan continue to face the pressures of specific municipal tax policies like the pied-à-terre surcharge. These transactions remain steady against a 10-year historical average for October, despite recent volatility in the broader housing market.
Prospective buyers of luxury property must account for recurring costs like the $17,407 monthly HOA fee and the 6.5% surcharge on non-primary residences. Ensure all tax exemption deadlines are reviewed with a qualified tax professional to avoid unnecessary penalties.
The takeaway
High-end real estate transactions in New York City are increasingly defined by complex carrying costs and specific tax filing windows. Prospective homeowners should verify all potential tax exemption deadlines, such as the one falling on October 13, by consulting with a financial professional.
