The penthouse at FORSYTH (204 Forsyth Street) has recently closed with an asking price of $8.5 million and set a new record for two-bedroom condos on the Lower East Side. The record was previously held by #28W in Ian Schrager’s 215 Chrystie Street, which sold for $7,280,488 in December 2017.
TOWN handled the deal for this two-bedroom, two-bath condo with a private, 1,844sf roof terrace as well as two smaller terraces off the living area and bedrooms. Timeless interiors designed by Paris Forino are accented by 12-foot ceilings and custom-crafted, floor-to-ceiling windows with metal frames. The clean, modern, open kitchen has Calacatta marble countertops and backsplash, hand-crafted cabinetry, and state-of-the-art appliances. The spa-like marble master bath features a Waterworks sink, glass-enclosed shower, and Kohler soaking tub.

The ultra-private, 11-unit FORSYTH welcomes pets, and this doorman building’s amenities include a fitness center and bike room. Its overlooks Sara Roosevelt Park and is a short walk away from Whole Foods, subway stops, and popular Lower East Side shopping, dining, and entertainment establishments.
The Chrystie Street apartment seems eager to top itself and possibly reclaim its old record; as the building’s first resale, it is back on the market and listed for $7.995 million. The next most expensive two-bedroom in the neighborhood is located at 196 Orchard Street, listed for $4.15 million, and features a private terrace with a gas grill.
