Atlas Capital Group and Fred Wilpon’s Sterling American Property sold a set of 44 condominium units at 845 West End Avenue at 101st Street, banking $55.5 million, according to property records.

The package encompasses just under half the 91 units at the 15-story, 182,000-square-foot Upper West Side building. 

The documents list the apartments’ buyer as Tremenda Holdings LLC, led by Santa Ana, Calif.-based attorney Babak Sotoodeh, principal of Sotoodeh & Associates.

It’s unclear whether Sotoodeh is the buyer, or whether he’s representing another party. A message left with his office was not immediately returned.
