THE SETAI
WILIAM BEAVER HOUSE
At Least Europeans Are Still Buying Expensive FiDi CondosThursday, September 25, 2008, by Joey Arak
Not all is doom and gloom in the real estate world!
The conversion of 40 Broad Street, called The Setai
(You know, the one that boasts, "There's no word for
it in English. Perhaps because nothing like it has ever
before existed.") has sold a penthouse for $7.82
million to a "European entrepreneur," Braden Keil
reports today. That would top the $5 million paid by a
"Scandinavian financier" for a penthouse at the
William Beaver House, and the $4.7 million paid by a
"Madrid businessman" for another Beaver bite before
that. So, what will the buyer of the Financial District's
most expensive apartment receive? A 3,424-square-
foot unit with 12' ceilings, three bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, a two-
sided fireplace , retractable wall of glass windows, sauna and Jacuzzi, an
electronics package with six LCD TVs equipped with Blu-ray players and a
lingering stench of death hanging over the whole area. Hey, speaking of The
Setai, the building just won something called a CNBC International Property
Award for Best Re-Development in the U.S. Last year's winner? The Plaza.
Memo to penthouse buyer: Make sure you get a walk-through before closing.
