A duplex penthouse at the Greenwich Lane condominium complex, which now sits where St. Vincent's Hospital campus in Greenwich Village used to be, was just sold for $26,030,475.81 - making it the most expensive closed sale of the week of Jan. 8, based on city records.
Located at 140 West 12th Street (between Avenue of the Americas and Seventh Avenue), PH8 boasts of a "loft-like sponsor unit" with some outdoor space and was recently listed for $26.5 million, as per StreetEasy.com.
The duplex apartment encompasses three bedrooms and three and a half baths, in addition to a media room and a huge entry galley spread spanning 4,027 square feet.
Meanwhile, its 3,148 square foot of outdoor space include a 1,114 square foot terrace from the living room, dining area and kitchen. The penthouse unit also has a 186 square foot balcony from the media and living rooms.
The master suite also opens into a 1,848 square foot "wraparound terrace." The bedroom occupies the entire second level of the duplex, which also has a fireplace and a windowed dressing room and bathroom.
The Pennsylvania limited liability company, 140 Greenwich Lane, said that Richard Ziegelasch and John Burger of Brown Harris Stevens represented the buyer.
As it turns out, 140 Greenwich Lane has closed several sales the past few weeks. The New York Times reports:
"Closed sales at the Greenwich Lane complex have been heating up in recent weeks. In late December, PH6B, a full-floor unit in the same building, with five bedrooms and five and a half baths but no outdoor space, officially sold for $21.16 million. Another penthouse there, PH7B, closed in mid-December for $20.14 million, while several united closed at another building, 145 West 11th Street."
The building at 140 West 12th is just the second of five condominiums that are set for completion in the 200-unit Greenwich Lane development, spearheaded by the Rudin family and Global Holdings.
