Elliman’s Oren Alexander to co-list $95M property | Cross River NY Homes
The 18th-floor penthouse unit at the Sherry Netherland on Fifth Avenue, a listing in the hands of superbroker Dolly Lenz before she departed Douglas Elliman in June, is changing brokers again.
Lisa Simonsen, the Elliman broker behind the $48 million sale of a Plaza Hotel condominium in 2011 – the priciest apartment trade in New York City history at the time – no longer holds the 781 Fifth Avenue listing, Elliman broker Oren Alexander confirmed. Alexander, who also holds the $5 million listing for No. 501 at the Sherry Netherland, will now be co-listing the property with Brown Harris Stevens broker Kathy Sloane, who initially shared listing with Lenz and continued to share after it switched to Simonsen.
The Alexander team, which includes Oren Alexander, his brother Tal Alexander and 10 others based in both New York and Miami, hopes to go live with the listing by Monday, Oren Alexander told The Real Deal.
“This is not just a change of broker, but a change in the whole marketing strategy,” Alexander said. “This property is right up our alley, we have been really focusing our team on selling trophy properties.”
The listing, which was reduced to $88 million from $95 million in December, will now ask $95 million, Alexander said. “I was not involved in reducing the price, but my understanding was that it was a mistake,” he said.
Sloane, a senior vice president and managing director at Brown Harris Stevens who sold Courtney Sale Ross’ duplex co-op at 740 Park Avenue for $52.5 million in 2012, did not immediately respond to request for comment. A spokesperson for Brown Harris Stevens confirmed that the listing remains a co-exclusive. Simonsen also did not immediately respond to request for comment.
Liberty Travel founder Gilbert Haroche owns the 18th-floor, prewar co-op, which boasts seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms and a master bedroom suite overlooking Central Park. Purchased as numerous smaller apartments pieced together over the years, the property now spans 9,000 square feet inside and includes a 2,000 square feet of outdoor terraces, as previously reported. His past neighbor, Judge Judith Sheindlin — better known as television’s “Judge Judy” — sold her 10th and 11th-floor unit in the building in June for $8.5 million.

San Francisco real estate boom | Cross River NY Homes
“December feels slightly break-neck. There are fewer deals to be had but we are seeing substantial overbidding,” said Blase.
“It is wonderful for a real estate agent. It can be tough for my buyers.”
According to the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices, buying a house in San Francisco costs 52.8 percent more than in March 2009, at the bottom of the real estate collapse.
The average price rise in major U.S. cities during the same period is 18.3 percent. The median U.S. home price is $169,000, according to RealtyTrac. In San Francisco, it’s up to more than $900,000.
That has sparked protests by San Franciscans who say well paid tech workers are pushing others out of their homes.
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee has been a target of the protestors. Not everyone approved of the tax breaks he offered Twitter to move some 800 workers into a headquarters building near the city center.

Glass Home With Dramatic View of the Rockies Asks $4.25M | Cross River Real Estate

Location: Boulder, Colo. Price: $4,250,000 The Skinny: Overlooking the city of Boulder from its perch at the feet of the Rocky Mountains, this glass-and-steel home is perfectly situated to take in 360 degrees of mountain and city views. Designed by AIA award winner Thomas Phifer (who is perhaps best known for his work on the North Carolina Museum of Art), the Boulder House is another winning iteration of his exciting approach to residential architecture. The front of the house is a 35-foot-high wall of glass addressing the city, the back is partially built into the hill and offers wilderness and mountain views, and the uppermost level combines both vistas in an all-encompassing scenic panorama. The stunning light-filled interior features a ground floor art gallery with open space that soars to the upper reaches of the home, where an operable 15-by-12-foot skylight sits atop the roof, while the rest of the house, including the two bedrooms and three bathrooms, has 11-foot ceilings. The home, which is asking $4.25M, becomes the second Phifer design to hit the market in recent years, with his Taghkanic House currently listed for $6.75M
