Stratospheric Views, and Prices
By JULIE CRESWELL
November 3, 2013
Quote:
.....In TriBeCa, where 56 Leonard Street is slowly rising and will eventually ascend 60 stories, only about 10 percent of the 145 apartments that have been sold went to foreign buyers, said one of the building’s developers, Izak Senbahar. “I think that the international people didn’t have the time,” to buy into the building, Mr. Senbahar said, adding that it was 92 percent sold in just seven months. But it was not for lack of trying. “I remember one French person really buying on the phone because he thought it was going to be too late to get the unit he wanted,” Mr. Senbahar said.
Nicknamed the “Jenga building” for its jagged steel-and-glass design that resembles the wooden tower game, 56 Leonard has a penthouse on the 60th floor that went to what has only been described as a “New York-based hedge fund manager” for $47 million, a record price for downtown.
