Ronald and Margie Alter are the sellers. Ronald Alter operates his law office out of the 81 Northeast 39th Street building.

Thor has aggressively assembled Design District property throughout 2014. In May, the company paid $45.4 million for Sam Herzberg’s portfolio in the district. Thor is promoting the eventual redevelopment of its holdings into “the most enviable luxury mixed-use property in the Design District.”

Chariff Realty Group’s Lyle Chariff and Mauricio Zapata represented both sides of the transaction.
