The purchase price works out to $4,863 per square foot in a building that’s set lofty goals. The state Attorney General’s office in August approved a $105 million condo plan for the six-unit project, which works out to an average of $17.5 million per apartment.

Construction topped out over the summer on the building, which will hold roughly 10,000 square feet of retail space. Four of the six units have sold, according to a representative of the developer.

KUB bought the development site for $50 million in 2014 and landed a $24 million construction loan in 2016 from Starwood Property Trust.

CORE is handling sales at the building.
