In February, Chinese insurer Sunshine Insurance Group agreed to buy the Baccarat Hotel from Barry Sternlicht’s Starwood for more than $230 million. The price comes down to a record-setting $2 million per room.
A second full-floor apartment in the building has entered contract and is expected to close soon, Tribeca Associates’ Mark Gordon told the newspaper.
Forty-two of the building’s 59 apartments have now been sold and the hotel adjacent to the condo project has opened. Buyer interest has increased over the past few weeks, Gordon also told the newspaper. The building’s duplex penthouse is listed for $60 million. [WSJ] — Claire Moses
