This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Turtle Bay instead.

Across the 16 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 89.4% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask.
Half of these homes were in contract within 164 days (about 23 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 16 with a recorded listing date.
Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 60 days (about 9 weeks), based on the 16 with both dates recorded.
These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.
Based on 18 condo three-bedroom sales in Turtle Bay, September 2024 – July 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ.
Price trend
Median price per square foot for sales at The Centrale, 2020 to 2026. Price per square foot is used rather than sale price so the line follows the market rather than whichever apartments happened to change hands that year.

|---|---|---|
| 2020 | $2,059/ft² | 17 |
| 2021 | $2,020/ft² | 31 |

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

Overview of Turtle Bay
Turtle Bay is a diplomatic and residential enclave on the East Side, stretching from 43rd to 53rd Streets east of Lexington Avenue.

The inventory of homes for sale in Turtle Bay is diverse. You can find everything from white-glove co-ops on Beekman Place to more affordable post-war condos and brownstones on the side streets. The presence of the UN creates a steady rental market for diplomats, making it attractive for investors. Turtle Bay often offers better value than its neighbors to the north and south. Buyers can find spacious layouts and river views at price points that are competitive for prime Manhattan. The "Katharine Hepburn Garden" area adds a touch of historic celebrity allure.Lifestyle & Community
