Welcome to Residence 28A at The Halcyon - a sprawling, sun-drenched four-bedroom, 3.5-bath home soaring high above Midtown East on the 28th floor. The scale of this residence is immediately commanding. Ceilings over ten feet high, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a corner living and dining room that captures the city from three directions - the Empire State and Chrysler buildings to the south, Midtown's skyline to the west, and sweeping river vistas to the east. Few apartments in Manhattan offer this breadth of outlook from a home. The layout is equally generous. A windowed, open Poliform kitchen with Calacatta Gold marble countertops and Miele and Subzero appliances anchors the entertaining space, while the well-considered floor plan accommodates both effortless daily living and formal hosting. Smoked six-inch-wide oak floors run throughout, adding a layer of refined, understated sophistication. The private corner primary suite is a true retreat - oversized custom walk-in closet, built-ins, and a spa-caliber bathroom with white statuary marble, bronze fixtures, a deep soaking tub, and a separate glass-enclosed shower. Two additional bedrooms each feature en-suite bathrooms with glass wall tiles and bronze Kohler fixtures. A sun-filled study off the kitchen functions seamlessly as a fourth bedroom, with a walk-in laundry room with sink and an elegant powder room rounding out the offering. The Halcyon itself is one of Midtown East's most distinguished addresses - a 33-story luxury condo designed by AD100 architect S. Russell Groves, where the amenities are genuinely exceptional: a 52-foot heated indoor pool, a light-filled fitness center, steam and sauna rooms, a private treatment room, a golf simulator, a playroom, a media lounge with catering kitchen, a library, a sky lounge, and a serene courtyard garden - all with 24-hour doorman and concierge services. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Condominium - **Beds**: 4 - **Total Baths**: 4 - **Rooms**: 7 - **Sqft**: 2,400 sqft - **Stories**: 33 - **Year Built**: 2015 - **Price per Sqft**: $2,021 - **Common Charges**: $3,923 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Mar 30, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 165 Days ### Residence Features - Central Air - Building Other - Washer Hookup - In Unit - Building Courtyard - High Ceilings - Bridge(s) - City - Panoramic - River ### Building Amenities - Sauna ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales 22 apartments at HALCYON have recorded sales since September 2021, the most recent for $1,560,000 in May 2026.

Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable condo four-bedroom sales in Turtle Bay is $4,750,000, based on 5 sales between March 2025 and June 2026. This home is asking $4,850,000, $100,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $4,500,000 and $6,295,000. - **Median closed price**: $4,750,000 - **Middle half**: $4,500,000 – $6,295,000 - **Based on**: 5 condo four-bedroom sales in Turtle Bay - **Period**: March 2025 – June 2026 - **Median $/ft²**: $1,405/ft² Across the 5 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 90.2% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. 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. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 90.2% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 100% of 5 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 289 days (about 41 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 42 days (about 6 weeks) Across the 5 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 90.2% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 289 days (about 41 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 4 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 42 days (about 6 weeks), based on the 5 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 5 condo four-bedroom sales in Turtle Bay, March 2025 – June 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 HALCYON, 2017 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. | Year | Median $/ft² | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $1,913/ft² | 14 | | 2018 | $1,608/ft² | 7 | | 2019 | $1,812/ft² | 3 (thin) | | 2022 | $1,584/ft² | 5 | | 2023 | $1,698/ft² | 4 (thin) | | 2025 | $1,283/ft² | 4 (thin) | | 2026 | $1,459/ft² | 4 (thin) | Years marked "thin" rest on fewer than 5 sales, where a single unusual apartment moves the median a long way. Read those points as the small samples they are rather than as the market turning. 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.
