In the biggest residential deal closed in New York City this week, two of real estate’s most visible and elite agents—Nile Lundgren and Steve Gold—joined forces to close a $13.1 million trophy condo at 500 West 18th Street, one of West Chelsea’s most iconic buildings.
This deal isn’t just another high-end sale—it’s a masterclass in luxury execution, media-powered branding, and top-tier collaboration between two of the RealTrends Top 1% agents in the nation.
Meet the Titans: Nile Lundgren and Steve Gold
Nile Lundgren, founder of the Lundgren Team at SERHANT., cast member on Netflix’s Owning Manhattan, and a verified RealTrends Top 1% producer with $425 million in closed career sales, represented the buyer.
Steve Gold, star of Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing New York, now leading Netflix’s Selling the City, and also a RealTrends Top 1% agent, represented the seller.
Both agents aren’t just stars—they’re the 1% of the 1%. And in this case, they sold to the 1%.
Inside the $13.1M Corner Trophy Home
The home—located directly below the penthouse—spans 3,188 square feet and sits perched above the High Line with triple exposures and postcard-worthy views of downtown Manhattan, the World Trade Center, Statue of Liberty, Hudson River, Chelsea Piers, and New Jersey.
This is one of the most impressive corner four-bedroom layouts in West Chelsea.
Features include:
-
Triple exposures with floor-to-ceiling glass
-
Sculptural gallery entry for art and entertaining
-
Chef’s kitchen with Gaggenau appliances
-
Spa-level primary suite with south and west exposures
-
Private wing for secondary bedrooms + convertible office/media room
-
Smart home controls, gallery lighting, and premium finishes throughout
It’s the kind of apartment that rarely trades—and when it does, it’s a statement.
Netflix Agents, Real Sales, Global Impact
What makes this deal even juicier is the media layer.
Nile and Steve aren’t just transacting at the highest levels—they’re doing it under the Netflix spotlight. With Owning Manhattan and Selling the City streaming globally, this sale becomes more than just a deal—it becomes a story, a headline, and a moment that defines where real estate is headed.
Two competitors. One market. One extraordinary deal.
And the best part? They made it look easy.
Scarcity Drives Urgency
Buyers are chasing more than square footage—they want legacy real estate with architectural integrity, trophy layouts, and iconic views.
This residence checks every box. South-facing. Corner. Full skyline. Triple exposure. Full-service building. Premium design. Located along the High Line, in a building that continues to command attention in the design community.
Deals like this remind us that product matters, but execution matters more.

West Chelsea is Nile’s Playground
This isn’t Nile’s first big win in the neighborhood—and it certainly won’t be his last.
Just weeks before this deal closed, Nile sold 331 West 18th Street, a Chelsea townhouse, for $5,000,000. Add that to his current exclusive listing at 304 West 18th Street, and it’s clear Nile is carving out real territory on 18th Street.
304 West 18th is a fully gut-renovated, design-forward two-family townhouse with:
-
A rooftop terrace
-
A wood-burning fireplace
-
A windowed spiral staircase
-
~3,363 square feet of interior space
-
Asking price: $5,335,000
His strategy is clear: precision over volume. Every listing is positioned with intention.
This is What the New Luxury Looks Like
This sale isn’t about flashy headlines. It’s about trust, timing, and talent.
It’s about agents who understand how to shape a deal—and shape a brand.
It’s about two of the most recognizable agents in the country coming together to close a legacy-caliber apartment in one of the most desirable corners of Manhattan.
The Chelsea corridor is heating up. And Nile Lundgren is at the center of it.
