The 4BR+ trajectory
Every recorded 4BR+. The building trades thinly year to year, so the story is the long arc, not any single year: 4BR+s have moved from roughly $5.5M in the mid-2000s to about $6.54M today.
Each dot is one recorded sale, by close date and price; the line is the median for each year.

| Apr 27, 2026 | 6C | 3 BR · 3 BA · 6 rmClosed Apr 20, 2026 at $2.3M — 2.13% under the $2.35M asking. Lower-floor C-line; tight discount-to-ask consistent with the building's clean-trade pattern at the smaller-apartment tier. | $2,300,000 | -2.1% |
| Dec 31, 2025 | 3B | 4 BR | $5,900,000 | — |
| Apr 1, 2025 | 13B | 3 BR · 4.5 BA · 9 rmClosed March 31, 2025 at $3.3M — 5.71% under the $3.5M last asking. 3 BR / 4.5 BA / 4,000 sqft B-line with East River views. ~$825/sqft on a substantial floor plate — reinforces River House's pricing position materially below Park Avenue tier-one peers despite comparable architectural credentials. | $3,300,000 | -5.7% |
| Sep 20, 2024 | 15C | 3 BR · 3 BAClosed Sep 16, 2024 at $3.47M (recorded transfer; no public public listing data listing on record — likely off-market through private broker network). | $3,470,000 | — |
| Jul 11, 2024 | 12C | 2 BR · 2.5 BA · 6 rmClosed Jul 9, 2024 at $1.75M — 12.28% under the $1.995M asking. One of the larger ask-to-close discounts in the recent dataset, on the smaller 2BR C-line inventory. | $1,750,000 | -12.3% |
| Mar 28, 2024 | 9G | 5 BR · 5.5 BA · 12 rmClosed Mar 26, 2024 at $8M — 11.11% under the $9M asking. Large G-line 5BR at 5,335 sqft = ~$1,500/sqft on a trophy floor plate. The G-line is among the building's largest, with the C-line full-floor or near-full-floor configurations comparable. | $8,000,000 | -11.1% |
| Apr 3, 2024 | 6/7F | 3 BR · 4.5 BAClosed Mar 26, 2024 at $4.995M — full-ask, 0% off. F-line duplex spanning floors 6 and 7 at 5,000 sqft = ~$999/sqft. Full-ask duplex trades are unusual in River House's recent dataset and signal demand for the F-line's specific configuration. | $4,995,000 | +0.0% |
| Dec 19, 2023 | 8/9C | 4 BR · 4+ BAClosed Dec 12, 2023 at $6.65M (recorded). public listing data reported the listing closed at $6.95M with no government record found — the recorded transfer reflects $6.65M, ~4.3% below the reported public listing data closing price. The C-line duplex on floors 8/9 is one of the building's larger configurations at 4,460 sqft (~$1,491/sqft on the recorded transfer). | $6,650,000 | — |
| Dec 15, 2023 | 10G | 5 BR · 6.5 BA · 11 rmClosed Dec 1, 2023 at $6,540,500 — 5.89% under the $6.95M asking. G-line full-floor at 5,335 sqft = ~$1,226/sqft. Tracks closely to the same line's earlier #10G trade at $6.5M in January 2022 — virtually flat pricing on the same apartment across 22 months, a notable signal of stable but non-appreciating G-line pricing through 2022-2023. | $6,540,500 | -5.9% |
| Apr 28, 2022 | 4B | 3 BR · 3.5 BA · 7 rmClosed Apr 21, 2022 at $4.475M — 5.79% under the $4.75M asking. B-line lower-floor at 4,020 sqft = ~$1,113/sqft. | $4,475,000 | -5.8% |
| Mar 23, 2022 | 10A2 | 3 BR · 3.5 BA · 6 rmClosed Mar 24, 2022 at $2.8M — 5.08% under the $2.95M asking. A2-line 3BR at 2,544 sqft = ~$1,101/sqft. The A-line subdivisions (A1/A2) reflect the building's historical apartment combinations and reconfigurations. | $2,800,000 | -5.1% |
| Mar 23, 2022 | 22/23 | 7 BR · 7 BAClosed Mar 9, 2022 at $10.3M — 14.17% under the $12M asking. Duplex spanning floors 22 and 23 in the central tower — a tower-level configuration with 7BR/7BA, one of the building's largest. The 14% discount-to-ask on a marquee apartment of this scale documents that even tower-level inventory clears below initial pricing expectations. | $10,300,000 | -14.2% |
| Mar 28, 2022 | 12D | 3 BR · 4.5 BA · 9 rmClosed Mar 11, 2022 at $4.5M — 7.22% under the $4.85M asking. Mid-floor D-line at 4,000 sqft = ~$1,125/sqft. | $4,500,000 | -7.2% |
| Feb 2, 2022 | 10G | 5 BR · 6.5 BA · 11 rmClosed Jan 20, 2022 at $6.5M (recorded transfer; no public listing data listing on record — off-market). G-line full-floor at 5,335 sqft. The same #10G then resold ~22 months later in Dec 2023 at $6,540,500 — virtually flat pricing across the window. Documents stable but non-appreciating G-line pricing through 2022-2023. | $6,500,000 | — |
| Nov 8, 2021 | 9B | 4 BR · 3.5 BA · 8 rmClosed Oct 19, 2021 at $4.7M — 5.91% under the $4.995M asking. Mid-floor B-line 4BR. | $4,700,000 | -5.9% |
| Apr 30, 2021 | 7A2 | 3 BR · 3 BA · 6 rmClosed Apr 13, 2021 at $1.905M — 15.33% under the $2.25M asking. A2-line at 2,530 sqft = ~$753/sqft. Among the larger ask-to-close discounts in the 2020-2022 dataset, reflecting still-soft pricing on smaller A-line inventory in the COVID-recovery window. | $1,905,000 | -15.3% |
| Jan 8, 2021 | 7A | Closed Dec 16, 2020 at $2.8M (recorded transfer). public listing data listed as studio/1BA, suggesting a maid's-room or staff-apartment configuration rather than a full primary residence — consistent with River House's pre-war service-apartment inventory. | $2,800,000 | — |
| Mar 7, 2020 | 7A1 | 3 BR · 3.5 BAClosed Mar 7, 2020 at $2.995M (public listing data-verified closing; no matching government record found — likely stipulated-value LLC purchase typical of River House's off-market private-network transactions). | $2,995,000 | — |
| May 28, 2019 | 14C | 2 BR · 3 BA · 6 rmClosed May 23, 2019 at $3.075M — 5.38% under the $3.25M asking. C-line 2BR on the 14th floor. | $3,075,000 | -5.4% |
| Apr 8, 2019 | 14/15C | 6 BR · 6+ BAClosed Apr 8, 2019 at $6.5M (public listing data-verified closing; no matching ACRIS record). C-line duplex spanning floors 14 and 15 — substantial 6BR configuration; the off-record closing reflects the building's private-broker-network discipline at the trophy tier. | $6,500,000 | — |
| May 1, 2019 | 6D | 4 BR · 4.5 BA · 8 rmClosed Mar 27, 2019 at $3.9M — full-ask, 0% off. D-line 4BR; full-ask trades signal aligned pricing between seller and market in River House's mid-tier inventory. | $3,900,000 | +0.0% |
| Nov 15, 2018 | 9D | 3 BR · 3.5 BA · 8 rmClosed Nov 7, 2018 at $4.025M — 8.42% under the $4.395M asking. D-line 3BR at 3,700 sqft = ~$1,088/sqft. | $4,025,000 | -8.4% |
| Sep 19, 2018 | 13D | 4 BR · 4.5 BA · 10 rmClosed Sep 7, 2018 at $4.3M — 15.69% under the $5.1M asking. D-line 4BR; one of the larger ask-to-close gaps in the 2017-2019 window. | $4,300,000 | -15.7% |
| Nov 17, 2017 | 16C | 3 BR · 3.5 BA · 9 rmClosed Nov 14, 2017 at $9.7M — 10.60% under the $10.85M asking. Higher-floor C-line 3BR; the 2017 luxury-co-op correction left the higher-floor inventory clearing 10%+ below initial pricing. | $9,700,000 | -10.6% |
| Apr 25, 2017 | 3E | 3 BR · 4.5 BA · 8 rmClosed Nov 10, 2016 at $3,237,500 — 7.50% under the $3.5M asking (recorded April 2017; 5-month recording lag). Lower-floor E-line 3BR. | $3,237,500 | -7.5% |
| Jan 24, 2017 | 8D | 3 BR · 4.5 BA · 8 rmClosed Dec 30, 2016 (recorded Jan 11, 2017) at $5M — 1.96% under the $5.1M asking. D-line 3BR at 3,700 sqft = ~$1,351/sqft; tight discount-to-ask signals stronger demand on the D-line at this price point. | $5,000,000 | -2.0% |
| Aug 29, 2016 | 11G | 4 BR · 6+ BA · 12 rmClosed Aug 18, 2016 at $11.25M — 8.16% under the $12.25M asking. G-line large 4BR with 6+ bathrooms on the 11th floor; substantial trade in the building's large-apartment tier. | $11,250,000 | -8.2% |
| May 12, 2016 | 12G | 4 BR · 5.5 BA · 12 rmClosed May 4, 2016 at $10.495M — full-ask, 0% off. G-line 4BR/5.5BA on the 12th floor; a clean full-ask close on a $10M+ trophy apartment, rare in the building's mid-decade dataset. | $10,495,000 | +0.0% |
| Feb 11, 2016 | 4/5E | 5 BR · 5+ BAClosed Jan 29, 2016 at $7.8M — 8.24% under the $8.5M asking. E-line duplex spanning floors 4 and 5 at 5,000 sqft = ~$1,560/sqft. The 4/5E configuration is one of the building's defined duplex lines. | $7,800,000 | -8.2% |
| Sep 1, 2015 | 13A | 4 BR · 10 rm | $10,350,000 | — |

| Mar 26, 2015 | 4/5E | 5 BR · 5+ BAClosed Mar 26, 2015 at $9.9M (public listing data as #45E, no government record found). E-line duplex 5BR at 5,000 sqft = ~$1,980/sqft. Same E-line subsequently traded as #4/5E at $7.8M in Feb 2016 — the 21% delta in 10 months reflects either a configuration difference or distress repricing. | $9,900,000 | — |

| Dec 18, 2014 | 3D | 2 BRClosed Dec 3, 2014 at $3.2M (recorded transfer; no public listing data listing on record — likely off-market). Lower-floor D-line. | $3,200,000 | — |

| Sep 23, 2014 | 8/9C | 4 BR · 4.5 BAClosed Aug 27, 2014 at $5.75M (public listing data-verified closing; no government record found). Earlier transaction on the same C-line duplex configuration that later traded at $6.65M in Dec 2023 — modest appreciation across the 9-year window. | $5,150,000 | — |
| Jun 4, 2014 | 21C | 5 BR · 6+ BAClosed May 9, 2014 at $14.5M — 12.12% under the $16.5M asking. Duplex spanning floors 20 and 21 (public listing data listed as '20TH/21ST') in the central tower. Trophy tower-level configuration in the 5BR/6+BA tier; the 12% ask-to-close gap on a $16M+ listing typifies the building's marquee-tier discount discipline. | $14,500,000 | -12.1% |

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01364-0022) and verified listing data. Co-op apartments are priced by unit type (bedroom count) rather than per square foot — square footage isn’t officially recorded for co-ops, and room counts carry some agent-entry inconsistency, so bedroom type is the reliable spine. Non-arms-length transfers and storage/parking are excluded; line and floor premiums are time-controlled to today’s pricing. Where transaction volume is too thin to support a figure, none is shown.
