Earlier this month, Related sold 15 residential units to Ponte Equities for about $36.7 million, which prices out to roughly $2.45 million per unit. The units are spread out on floors three and six through 11. Ponte Equities, a real estate firm run by the Ponte family that has a foothold in Tribeca, sold the site where the luxury condo now stands to Related in 2014 for $115 million.
Another pricey deal at the development was the $55 million penthouse. Purchased by Italian telecom entrepreneur Silvio Scaglia, the unit was once expected to be the priciest sale in Downtown Manhattan but instead sold at a steep discount from its $65 million asking price. Related Chairman Stephen Ross also bought a $6.9 million condo.
