The Wall Street Journal brings word that the last six penthouses at One Hanson Place are set to be auctioned off next month. Maria L. Stamolis, a managing director at Canyon-Johnson Urban Funds, which developed the condo along with the Dermot Co., says the firm is ready to move on to other projects, and there’s “no reason not to find market-clearing prices and sell these apartments.” Details on the units hitting the block: Five take up full floors, while the sixth is a duplex; the auction company is saying that at least two of them won’t require minimum bids. The story also notes that a few years ago, prices on them were initially set between $3.7 million and nearly $5.8 million but, for example, a four-bedroom with a 2,900-square-foot terrace was last listed for $3.45 million.

I’m very surprised they are doing this. Seems oddly efficient and straightforward in the otherwise smoke and mirror filled world of NYC real estate. An Auction, fancy that. No arguing true market value there.
Chris, sorry, don’t know the answer to that one. The last time I was in any upper floor of that building, it was a dentist’s office. I bet the view is spectacular, though.

Is “no minimum” binding – ie if highest bid turns out to be $1000?
Haha, thanks very much, blofeld!

I’d love to have an outdoor area with a view like that, but would not want to pay for it.
Entitlement seems to run rampant through NYC.
CGar, brilliant comment
