Already, the apartment would be sold to the highest bidder by Banque Havilland, in a foreclosure auction in July 2017.
“It’s
probably the most-expensive foreclosure we’ve ever seen in luxury
development. I don’t know of a foreclosure that’s larger than that,” Donna Olshan, president of high-end Manhattan brokerage Olshan Realty Inc., told newsmen.
Banque Havilland reportedly took possession of the 6,420-square-foot apartment, according to court documents.
The
luxurious apartments in the building has amenities that include a
24-hour doorman and concierge, fitness center, yoga studio, private
dining room, catering kitchen, library, valet service and on-site
