Manhattan, NY Concierge Auctions has met and bidding is officially open at $8.25 million for a penthouse crowning the landmarked Sohmer Piano Building in the coveted Flatiron District. Offered in cooperation with Lawrence Treglia and Claire Groome of Sotheby\u2019s International Realty and listed for $14.9 million, 100% of the proceeds from the sale will be donated to the Gorongosa Project, a pioneering conservation and community-development initiative in Mozambique.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bidding culminated live on 29 July at Sotheby\u2019s New York as part of the firm\u2019s \u2018America 250\u2019 sale, a marquee two-day event showcasing a curated collection of premier American real estate.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis sale is extraordinary on multiple levels and represents a rare convergence of architectural significance and philanthropic purpose,\u201d said Chad Roffers, CEO and co-founder of Concierge Auctions. \u201cBidding on one of Manhattan\u2019s most iconic and irreplaceable residences is itself a rare opportunity\u2014but knowing that every dollar of the purchase price goes directly toward protecting one of Africa\u2019s most remarkable ecosystems makes this something genuinely unique in luxury real estate. Qualified buyers have a defined window to do something meaningful with this moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe response from prospective buyers has reflected what we\u2019ve always known \u2014 this is a home that offers an experience as remarkable as its address,\u201d said Treglia. \u201cAnd the knowledge that this purchase will have a lasting impact halfway around the world has only deepened the sense of purpose surrounding this sale. The auction process has created exactly the kind of focused, competitive environment it deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n
Perched atop one of Fifth Ave.\u2019s most architecturally significant buildings and situated directly adjacent to the iconic Flatiron Building, the completely renovated residence preserves the grandeur and character of its landmark pedigree. Designed by acclaimed architect Robert Maynicke in 1897, the Sohmer Piano Building remains one of New York City\u2019s most recognizable architectural treasures.<\/p>\n
The residence unfolds across expansive entertaining spaces illuminated by more than 40 oversized windows and an extraordinary 80-ft. greenhouse-style window expanse. Two grand foyers are connected by a striking circular baronial limestone staircase, creating a dramatic architectural centerpiece that anchors the home\u2019s open-concept layout. Above, the property\u2019s privately deeded roof deck and distinctive golden dome cupola provide 360-degree views of the city\u2019s most celebrated landmarks, including the Empire State Building, Madison Square Park, and the Flatiron Building itself. The corner primary suite features three exposures, more than 35 linear feet of closet space, and a spa-inspired bath complete with a Waterworks soaking tub. Four additional bedrooms provide ample accommodations for guests, family, or dedicated office space.<\/p>\n
Located in the heart of the Flatiron District, the property sits steps from Madison Square Park and some of New York City\u2019s most acclaimed dining destinations, including Eataly, Union Square Cafe, Rezd\u00f4ra, Hawksmoor, and Hillstone. Union Square\u2019s major transportation hub is within a ten-minute walk, providing seamless access to the city\u2019s cultural institutions, gallery districts, and neighborhoods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"News: Owners Developers & Managers Photo credit to Eitan Gamliely and Shawn May Photography.
