The top downtown contract and second-highest overall took place at 299 West 12th Street, a downtown collaboration between Emery Roth and Bing & Bing, where #PHA had an $18,300,000 asking price. The building was converted to a condo in 1986, at which time (as per the listing) the sponsor kept the three-bedroom penthouse with a solarium and multiple private terraces for himself. He sold it four years later, and it has been carefully maintained and updated, though not at the expense of its architectural uniqueness, ever since. Olshan Realty's market report identified the buyer only as a current Village resident; a short time later, Gimme Shelter identified the buyer as Bravo host/producer Andy Cohen, who is indeed a resident of the West Village. The building has also counted Jennifer Aniston among its residents.
