The penthouse in Pritzker Prize-winner Tadao Ando’s jewel box condominium at 152 Elizabeth Street entered contract in November, and more details have just become available: The Wall Street Journal reports that Matt Cohler, an early Facebook employee and partner in Benchmark Capital, is the buyer. The penthouse was listed for $35 million and has four bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and three private terraces, including one on the roof with a fireplace, kitchen, and reflecting pool.

152 Elizabeth Street is Mr. Ando’s first project outside of Asia, and Mr. Cohler isn’t the only one excited about it: Only three listings have not yet entered contract. A two-bedroom is listed for $6.25 million; a three-bedroom is listed for $6.5 million; and a full-floor four-bedroom with a private loggia is listed for $15 million. All homes feature a thoughtful melding of eastern and western design sensibilities, floor-to-ceiling windows, serene entry gallery, custom kitchen with Gaggenau appliances, and state-of-the-art humidification system to preserve artwork.
Building amenities include storage and parking, but the biggest perk is undoubtedly its location on the border of Nolita, Soho, and the Lower East Side. The best dining, shopping, and nightlife in some of New York’s hottest neighborhoods is a short walk away. Construction is anticipated in spring 2018.
