Brian Silvestry , a licensed real estate broker, has been selling residential and commercial real estate since 1999. He has sold in every neighborhood from Battery Park City to Washington Heights.
The building has the nickname “hedgie hive” because of the plethora of hedge fund owners/employees that live there. Denzel Washington makes his home there as well as Bob Costas and countless oligarchs including the one who held the previous record of most expensive residential apartment purchase before being broken by One57’s closing this year over $100mm.
The building is clad entirely in limestone and is actually two building separate by a motor court. The tower and the house as they are called share a private restaurant, gym, and lap pool. Prices which seemed high at the inception in 2008 now are only a fraction of their current levels. The address alone conveys a special cachet of status.
