David LaChapelle sold one on the Lower East Side.
Sting’s kid, Jake Sumner, got a deal on one on Orchard Street, apparently.
Du Ponts swarmed a property on Bleecker (they’re WASPs—”swarm,” get it?)
Mystery maestro Harlan Coben sold his writer’s lair.
A Goldman Sachs VP sold his place in R*ver H*ouse.
The number of 100K-foot office leases has shot up.
As have rents in trophy towers about town.
Brookfield’s Grace Building grabbed one of the biggest law firm leases of `11.
A barbecue joint will join a beer bar in our building.
Manhattan apartment rents just don’t seem to vary that much.
And Uncle Junior got whacked on the Upper East Side.
And so much more…
