the vultures next door / 505 Greenwich sells to neighbor

sale at 454 West 46 Street strikes an off note, down 5% since 2004
paging Billy Joel August 12, 2004: $1.1mm May 27, 2010: $1.045mm (after "beautifully [sic] renovations") That is a very unhelpful data point for neighboring shareholders. That’s the history of one Manhattan loft in the storied Piano Factory, 454 West 46…
making (no) sense of The Market / what did The Elf buy at 345 West 13 Street?

foreclosure sale at 251 West 19 works out, for banks at least
don’t see this every dayWhile cleaning up the Manhattan Loft Guy Master List of downtown loft closings between $500k and $5mm, I discovered that 251 West 19 Street #3C closed on March 26 for $1,578,287 (deed filed April 14). That’s…
