$12 Million for a Condo? You Bet.






The owners of the two-story penthouse at 645 Front Street (pictures above) are asking $12.5 million, believed to be the highest-ever asking price per square foot for any downtown resale property. What's so special about this place?

Potential buyers are sure to notice the pricey materials that dramatically upgraded a relatively unadorned, builder-grade project: 10,000 board-feet of walnut, 50,000 sheets of gold, silver and bronze leaf, 75 slabs of granite and marble, Venetian plaster treatment and untold niches and built-ins, some created from antique furniture.
What are the HOAs on a property like this? $1287.
