A mystery buyer purchased a $30 million penthouse at 20 East End Avenue this month, property records show.
The seller had asked $35 million for the 6,050-square-foot unit in December. Still, the sale price works out to an impressive $5,785 per square foot. Six years ago, shortly before the building was constructed, the penthouse prices were pegged at $20 million.
The limestone condo building, about a 30-second walk from the East River, was designed by Robert Stern and features 43 units across 17 floors. Developers Corigin Real Estate Group and Florida East Coast Realty completed it in 2016 — at about the peak of the Manhattan luxury market.

The buyers, whose identities were cloaked by a limited liability company, were represented by Joseph Meyers, a real estate attorney of Meyers & Associates.
