On Manhattanâs Billionairesâ Row, just off Central Park, a luxury four-bedroom residence is up for sale. Featuring ten-foot ceilings, four-and-a-half bathrooms and an eat-in kitchen, the unit also includes 24-hour concierge service. The catch? Good luck finding it on the open market. The seller, whose identity was not disclosed, is soliciting offers from just a select group of buyers. If you donât have the connections, youâll never stand a chance.
The Manhattan apartment deal is part of a booming trend in real estate thatâs been spurred on by a massive shortage of residential properties: homes for sale that are never publicly advertised on major databases, better known as âpocket listings.â
