$100m and counting at The Metropolitan.

Sherwood Properties LLC, the developers of Carnegie Hill's newest luxury residence, The Metropolitan at 181 East 90th Street, announced that over 70% of the condominium homes have been sold in the first 25 weeks since the sales office opened its doors.

A testament to the confidence and enthusiasm that The Metropolitan is generating within the New York real estate market, buyers have signed over $100 million in sales contracts since sales commenced on September 15, 2003.

In addition, two young families are each in contract for three large units that will be combined into spectacular five-bedroom homes with playrooms.

"We are working with several more prospective combination purchasers," said Brown Harris Stevens representative Michele Conte, Director of Sales for The Metropolitan. Brown Harris Stevens is the exclusive marketing and selling agent for the building.

"We anticipated a lot of interest in combining units when we planned the building, and we designed each floor plan to facilitate the creation of homes of 3,600 to 4,000-square-feet."

Designed by world-renowned architectural firm of Philip Johnson/Alan Ritchie Architects in collaboration with Schuman Lichtenstein Claman & Efron, the 32-floor Metropolitan features 94 family-sized homes. Prices start at $850,000 to $7,950,000 for the 3,550-square-foot terraced penthouse.
