Gramercy developer benches Shvo — sort of
1. I think the developer doesn’t want to pay Shvo a hefty commission on the penthouse units and has gotten Elliman on the cheap. Bad move by the developer.
2. “Decent” job selling 190 of 206 apartments for [an] average of $1,448 per square foot on 23rd Street and First Avenue? I would say it’s a little bit more than decent.
