CBRE’s Siegel nabs unit at the Fairchild

Stephen Siegel, chairperson of CB Richard Ellis, has purchased a $1.75 million, two-bedroom apartment at the Fairchild, the 21-unit Tribeca condominium development at 55 Vestry Street, according to the Observer. The building, which has attracted the attention of various high-profile figures — including actor James Gandolfini, an investor, and actress Jessica Alba, who reportedly toured the building — is being marketed by Prudential Douglas Elliman. Siegel used Elliman broker Oren Alexander in the deal. Siegel told the Observer that he toured the apartment with a family member who “did an exhaustive search and knows about every finish and quality (or lack of it) at every apartment he looked at.” However, it was not immediately clear who would be residing in the home. Siegel told The Real Deal several years ago that he lived in a Park Avenue townhouse.
