Discussion about 246 West 17th Street #1C

That a nice profit for buying in 2009. $1.35mm brand new vs the current sale of $2.55mm.

2 things, 330M: (1) sponsor got stuck by a contract signed in 2007 (at $2.15mm?) that buyer walked away from (sponsor kept 10%?), (2) then brought it back to market Jan 2009. Sponsor was willing to deal, having sold most units before Lehman bankruptcy, and buyer was willing to buy when few others were = big discount.
