Joseph J. Lhota will not be moving into Gracie Mansion. New Yorkers made sure of that in the mayoral election on Tuesday.
But Mr. Lhota, a former chairman of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority who was the Republican candidate for mayor, would be most welcome if he ever decided to move to another tony address: 15 Central Park West.
Though Bill de Blasio, the mayor-elect, swept the votes in Manhattan, some sections of the borough were staunchly for Mr. Lhota. These included large sections of the Upper East Side and some parts of Midtown, according to a New York Times map of results by precinct.
Another section that went heavily for Mr. Lhota was Election District 75-101, according to the map. Contributing just 39 votes, the district is a tiny triangle at the southwestern corner of Central Park, bounded by 62nd Street to the north, Broadway to the west and Columbus Circle to the south.
Some of the district’s most prominent residents live in 15 Central Park West, a limestone palace designed by the celebrity architect Robert A.M. Stern where a penthouse was sold last year for $88 million. The building is home to a number of Wall Street financiers.
How much love did they show for Mr. Lhota? The Republican won the district by a landslide, capturing 33 votes, or 84.6 percent of the total. Mr. de Blasio emerged with only 5 votes, a mere 12.8 percent. And one vote was cast for another, unnamed candidate.
It is not known how the individuals in the building voted. But public records show the names of the financiers who live there. Below is a partial list:
Lloyd C. Blankfein, the chairman and chief executive of Goldman Sachs.
Daniel S. Loeb, the founder of the hedge fund Third Point.
Rodney O. Martin Jr., the chairman and chief executive of ING U.S., the United States subsidiary of the Dutch financial services firm.
Daniel S. Och, the founder of the hedge fund Och-Ziff Capital Management.
Bruce J. Richards, the chief executive of Marathon Asset Management.
Rajat Sethi, a former Goldman managing director.
Another luxurious building, the Time Warner Center, is also in the area. David Martinez, a Mexican financier, has an apartment there, Azam Ahmed reported last year in DealBook, describing it as “a sleek aerie of steel and stone, high windows and soaring views.â€
