These are, as our friend Noah at UrbanDigs likes to say, interesting times. As the latest evidence, let's present an email from the Bracha Group at Elliman forwarded our way by a special Curbed operative. The subject header: "Subject: FIRE SALE! MAKE YOUR OFFER! SPONSOR MUST SELL 2 UNITS ASAP!" Notes our operative, "Sponsor sounds a little? motivated at 53 Warren St."
Yes, the fire sale is officially on at 53 Warren, a six-unit conversion designed by Grzywinski+Pons, the youthful architects behind The Hotel on Rivington, and backed by developer Soleimani Vella. Two units hit the market in early 2008 priced around $1,400 per square foot; minor PriceChops a few weeks back now have both priced at $2.2 million.
