The Bellemont Sold Out at Sponsor. Resale Inquiries Welcome.
Overview
The Bellemont at 1165 Madison Avenue is among the most exclusive residential addresses in Manhattan — a 13-story boutique condominium with just 12 residences in the heart of Carnegie Hill. Developed by Naftali Group with architecture by Robert A.M. Stern Architects and interiors by Italian designer Achille Salvagni, the building achieved a total sellout of $235 million across its 12 units, with the Penthouse C quadruplex selling for $67.8 million — setting the record for the highest price per square foot above 59th Street on the Upper East Side.
The interiors by Achille Salvagni bring an Old World grandeur that is rare in new Manhattan construction: 13 to 14-foot ceilings, 28-foot living rooms, 23-foot entry galleries, and oversized arched windows overlooking Madison Avenue. The half-floor, full-floor, and duplex/quadruplex penthouse configurations ensure that every residence feels like a private home rather than an apartment. Gas fireplaces and private terraces in select units complete the picture.
Our team considers The Bellemont one of the most significant new residential buildings on the Upper East Side in the last decade. The combination of RAMSA's hand-laid Indiana limestone facade, Salvagni's museum-quality interiors, and the extreme exclusivity of just 12 residences creates a product that has no real comparable in the current market. The building is sold out, but resale opportunities are among the most coveted in Manhattan.

Our Take on The Bellemont
The Bellemont is the kind of building that redefines a neighborhood's pricing tier. Twelve residences, a $235M total sellout, and a $67.8M penthouse record — these numbers tell the story of a product that found its market and exceeded expectations.
The Salvagni interiors are genuinely extraordinary. The 13-14 foot ceilings and 28-foot living rooms create spatial volumes that feel more like a private palazzo than a Manhattan apartment. RAMSA's limestone facade is flawless. And Carnegie Hill's combination of Museum Mile access, Central Park proximity, and residential calm is ideal for this buyer profile.
The building is sold out, so opportunities are limited to resale. When units do appear, they command significant premiums. This is not a building for bargain hunters — it is for buyers who understand that extreme exclusivity and museum-quality design hold their value.

Manhattan Real Estate Market Intelligence
Market Context: Manhattan luxury condominium pricing is segmented by sub-market. The Billionaires’ Row corridor (57th Street, between Park Avenue and Columbus Circle) carries the highest price-per-foot in the United States, with trophy residences trading $4,000-$10,000+ per SF. Downtown Manhattan (Tribeca, West Village, Soho) has its own ultra-luxury tier driven by limited supply of new development. Upper East Side and Upper West Side condo medians sit materially below downtown trophy levels but offer larger floor plates and Central Park access. Pricing in Manhattan is sensitive to interest rates, mansion-tax brackets, and the offering-plan stage of any given building.
Entity Insight: Sponsor-direct new development in 2026 includes 80 Clarkson (West Village), 255 East 77th (Upper East Side), 140 Jane (West Village), 1122 Madison (Carnegie Hill), and Mandarin Oriental Fifth Avenue. Completed buildings with sponsor inventory remaining include Central Park Tower, 220 Central Park South, 53 West 53, 111 West 57th, and 50 West 66th. Each carries a distinct sponsor history, construction lender, offering-plan amendment cadence, and 421-a or other tax-abatement status that must be diligenced individually.
Buyer Signal: Manhattan’s structural inputs include the New York Attorney General-supervised offering plan process (provides buyer-side procedural protection not available in less-regulated markets), the depth of the resale market (high liquidity at exit), and constrained near-term supply (limited zoning capacity in core sub-markets). Risks to underwrite at contract: mansion-tax bracket inflation above $2M, transfer-tax assumption by buyer on sponsor sales, lot-line and view-corridor exposure on specific lots, condo board sublet and resale policies, and 421-a phase-out schedule where applicable. Status of any individual project, sponsor inventory level, AG offering plan amendment, pricing, or sales percentage should be verified at the time of inquiry.
Key Facts
- Trophy Manhattan condo $/SF range: $1,500-$10,000+
- Billionaires’ Row average $/SF: $4,000-$10,000+
- Downtown trophy (Tribeca/West Village) $/SF: $2,500-$6,000+
- Mansion tax: 1% above $1M, graduated brackets above $2M for buyer
- Typical sponsor contract deposit: 10%-20% at signing
- Standard buyer-attorney review window: 1-3 business days from contract delivery
- Sponsor-side commission: developer pays buyer agent on sponsor sales
- Tax-abatement programs (where applicable): 421-a, J-51, status verified building-by-building
- Foreign-national LLC ownership: common, structured at contract
Buyer Procedure
Manhattan sponsor-sales procedure: reservation form → offering plan delivery → buyer attorney review → contract execution and initial deposit → mortgage commitment (if financed) → closing at delivery. Sponsor-inventory and resale procedures differ; advisory pre-tour planning is recommended.
Manhattan Real Estate FAQs
What is the New York Attorney General offering plan?
The offering plan is the legal document filed with the New York Attorney General that governs the sale of every Manhattan condominium. It defines deposit handling, unit specifications, common charges, real estate taxes, sponsor obligations, and buyer protections. No Manhattan condo sale closes outside the framework of an accepted offering plan; amendments are filed periodically and reviewed by buyer attorneys at contract.
What is sponsor inventory?
Sponsor inventory refers to unsold units still held by the building’s developer (the “sponsor”). Sponsor units are brand-new, never lived-in, and may include negotiable pricing, closing-cost credits, and access to tax-abatement programs where the building has them. Sponsor-side transactions follow the offering plan, not the standard resale contract.
What tax abatements apply in Manhattan?
421-a is the most common Manhattan condo abatement, providing reduced real-estate-tax exposure for 10 to 25 years on qualifying new developments. J-51 applies to specific rehabilitated buildings. Each abatement has a phase-out schedule and building-specific qualification status that must be verified in the offering plan and the most recent tax certificate.
What closing costs apply on a Manhattan condo?
Typical buyer-side closing costs run 2% to 4% of price, including NYC and NYS transfer taxes (often assumed by buyer on sponsor sales), mansion tax (1% above $1M with graduated brackets above $2M), title insurance, buyer attorney fee, mortgage recording tax if financed, and prorated common charges and real estate taxes.
Are common charges the same as HOA fees?
No. Manhattan condos use the term “common charges,” not HOA fees. Common charges fund building operations, staff, amenities, and reserves. Real estate taxes are billed separately by NYC and are not part of common charges.
How does Manhattan Miami get paid on Manhattan transactions?
On sponsor-side new development purchases, the developer pays Manhattan Miami’s buyer-agent commission. Buyer representation is at no out-of-pocket cost to the buyer. On resale transactions, commission arrangements are disclosed at engagement.
