A penthouse sale at the Getty, a brand-new boutique condominium hugging the High Line in West Chelsea, has set a record for Manhattan’s downtown.

The sponsor unit, which encompasses the top three floors of the geometric glass building on West 24th Street and 10th Avenue, closed at $59.06 million, according to property records, which also made it the most expensive transaction in New York City for the month of May.

The previous record for a single residence downtown was another Chelsea penthouse — one at Walker Tower, on West 18th Street — that sold for $50.9 million, in January 2014. (That same year the media mogul Rupert Murdoch shelled out a total of $57.9 million for two apartments across four floors at One Madison, the glassy tower at 23 East 22nd Street in Flatiron.)

The Getty closing wasn’t the only one to surpass the $50 million mark last month. An apartment on the 85th floor of One57, the vitreous skyscraper in Midtown, sold for $53.97 million.
