“The scale of wealth in this building is just unheard of,” appraiser Jonathan Miller told the New York Times of Gary Barnett’s rising One57 condominium tower. Fewer than 40 of the tower’s 92 apartments remain unsold and transaction volume has already surpassed $1 billion. Further, nine of 16 full-floor apartments have sold, and all the buyers are billionaires, according to the Extell Development president, and at least a few of them are “significant Forbes billionaires.”

“Despite all the problems economically, you are seeing these people invest in real estate unlike in any period that has ever happened,” Miller said. [more]
