Developer Behind London’s One Hyde Park Gets $55 Million for N.Y.C. Townhouse
Christian Candy and his wife, Emily Crompton-Candy, are trading their Upper East Side home for a triplex on Billionaires’ Row
THE DEAL: After buying a Billionaires’ Row condo, British property developer Christian Candy and his wife, Emily Crompton-Candy, have sold their Manhattan townhouse for $55 million, according to a person familiar with the situation.
THE SELLERS:
The Candys own properties around the world, and at one point lived in the Bahamas. They bought the Upper East Side townhouse for $48 million in 2022, renovated it, and put it on the market for $70 million in April 2025. It was later delisted, and returned to market earlier this month for $57.5 million.
About a year ago, the couple paid about $45 million for a four-bedroom triplex at 111 West 57th Street, one of Midtown’s new supertall condominiums. They got a significant discount on the unit, which was listed for $66 million in 2020.
The couple declined to comment. Christian Candy and his brother, Nick Candy, were behind the development of the ultraluxury London condominium One Hyde Park.
THE BUYER: The purchaser’s identity couldn’t be determined.
THE PROPERTY: Less than a block from Central Park, the limestone townhouse spans about 15,000 square feet with six bedrooms. The Beaux-Arts house dates to around 1903, according to the listing with Adam Modlin of Modlin Group.
The home has a grand entry gallery with mosaic flooring and a marble staircase, the listing says. The reception room has a 32-bulb Baccarat chandelier.
THE MARKET: The Candy home went into contract within just six days after returning to market, according to the person familiar with the situation. The deal was a quick sale for a pricey Manhattan townhouse: In recent years, a handful of significant townhouses have sold—often for far less than their original asking prices—and usually after years on the market.
A townhouse owned by financier Ron Perelman sold for $46.75 million earlier this year after being on and off the market since 2020. In 2023, a townhouse once owned by the late banking titan David Rockefeller sold for $47 million after listing for $57.5 million.
