For the second year running, the Edge took first place, selling 167 units at a median price of $804,418. The complex is now sold out, and it can count a famed broadcaster amongst its residents.

The second repeat contender is the Sheffield, which sold 102 of its 580 units at a median price of $1,453,231. The building has had its ups and downs over the years, with the downs coming mostly back when it was known as the Sheffield57, so it's nice to see its doing well these days. The amenities finally opened last year, and Goldie Hawn even checked out a place there.

Another repeat! The 99 John Deco Lofts sold 85 units with a median price of $675,000. 99 John Street is an office-to-condo conversion with 442 units, which first came to the market back in 1999 as rentals.

Fifth on the Park closed out 2011 as the best selling building in Harlem, and last year, it became one of the best selling in the whole city, moving 76 of its 160 units.

One of two Queens properties to make the list is Flushing's giant Sky View Parc. The project seems to have put its buyers-backing-out-problems behind it. It sold 74 units 134 last year, at a median selling price of $545,000. UPDATE 2/14/13: Reps sent word that the building sold 134 units, not 74, in 2012.

The Aldyn had a bang up 2012, hosting the Kips Bay Decorator Show House, receiving a dog concierge service, attracting at least one celebrity buyer, and selling 66 units. That's a pretty good follow to 2011, when it was twice featured on Selling New York. What will 2013 bring?

The residences atop the Setai demanded high asking prices, but they sold very well. In 2012, the building sold 64 units for a median price of $1,832,850. One unit that still hasn't sold is the $32 million penthouse, which has been on the market for 349 days without a visit from the pricechopper.

Our fifth and final repeat is Oro, which is also the only Downtown Brooklyn building to make the list—in 2010, DoBro developments took five of the ten spots. Oro sold 64 units last year.
