Thor declined to disclose the contract price for the seven-story 15,900-square-foot townhouse to the New York Observer, but similar buildings in the neighborhood have recently gone for between $25 and $35 million. A Thor spokesman said that the seller is a high-net worth family. The building will serve as office space, according to the Observer.

“The Upper East Side remains the pinnacle of New York City luxury,” Joseph Sitt, Thor Equities’ CEO, told the Observer in a statement. “This beautiful, ideally located townhouse is perfect for anyone wishing to catch the eye of Manhattan’s elite.”  [NYO] — Claire Moses
