By Holly Dutton The days of lavish parties atop luxury condo skyscrapers are on their way back, and it may signal that the market is going nowhere but up. In 2006, when the housing bubble was at its peak, it wasn’t unusual to attend a party for a condo building that featured high-profile entertainers like Brit hunk Seal or Grammy winner John Legend and catered by the likes of Nobu. At a soiree last week at Related’s 225 Rector Street, Sofia Song, director of research for StreetEasy, recalled attending over-the-top parties back in the boom days.
