Aby Rosen’s 22 East 71st Street mansion sees price slashed to $59M

Developer Aby Rosen’s 22,000-square-foot mega-mansion at 22 East 71st Street on the corner of Madison Avenue has just slashed its price to $59 million, from $72 million, its original asking price when it hit the market in April 2008, according to Curbed. Rosen, who bought the property in 2004 for $15.65 million, has made extensive renovations on the building. The 21 percent price drop is tinged with irony, since Rosen reportedly turned down two offers above $60 million in the past. The building is currently being used for offices. [Curbed]
