The Bowery continues to lure apartment buyers with deep pockets. The Real Deal reports that a penthouse unit at 250 Bowery, the new project by VE Equities, is in contract for $2500 square foot, or about $3.9 million. Douglas Elliman broker Fredrik Eklund announced the pending sale on his Instagram feed, saying it set a record on the Bowery. Appraisers seemed to agree that the deal surpasses any other sale on the Bowery, at least in the past six years.
The penthouse unit is a 2-bedroom, 2.5 bath, 1557 square foot space with an outdoor area. Eklund did not reveal the purchaser. The apartment was originally listed for $4.4 million. According to StreetEasy, 18 units are in contract at 250 Bowery; the cheapest apartments were offered at $925,000. Six units are still listed, including another penthouse apartment for $5.95 million.
