Cheerland plans to convert the offices into high-end condominiums. The price per square foot is roughly $1,300, according to Newmark Grubb Knight Frank broker Geoffrey Newman, who represented the United Charities nonprofit selling the building.

The nonprofits listed the property to pad their endowments and capital reserves, as previously reported. [WSJ, 2nd item]Mark Maurer
