The six-story, mid-block building at 217 East 67th Street that used to house Christie's East auction galleries has been converted to full-floor loft condominium residences by RFR Realty and Shahab Karmely of KAR Properties.
Christie's East was the lower-valued auction venue for Christie's when it was located in the Delmonico Hotel on Park Avenue and 59th Street, now Trump Park Avenue. Christie's eventually moved to larger quarters at 20 Rockefeller Plaza.
With two fireplaces in each apartment, this building is no longer a lower-value venue.
The apartments are about 4,665 sq. ft. in area and have 10-ft.-3-inch-high ceilings and 50-ft.-wide terraces. The building, which was originally erected as a garage, will have a 24-hour doorman and a 19-and-a-half-foot-high lobby. Each apartment has individual storage units as well a parking space in the basement, which is serviced by a car elevator.
Initial pricing for the apartments started at about $5.4 million and the penthouse, priced at more than $10 million, has 5,886-sq. ft. of interior space and 3,980 sq. ft. of exterior space.
The units are being offered as "raw" space but the developers have provided four plumbing "stacks" to allow for considerable flexibility in layouts.
