150 East 78th Street Total Sellout
Midwood Investment & Development and EJS Group today announced the total sellout for 150 East 78th Street, a new Upper East Side luxury residential development featuring architecture by award-winning firm Robert A.M. Stern Architects and interiors by AD100 interior designer Robert Couturier. One of Manhattan's top agents, Alexa Lambert of Compass Development Marketing Group, exclusively handled sales and marketing. Located on the corner of Lexington Avenue and East 78th Street, the 16-story building features 25 residences and multiple levels of carefully curated amenities.
150 East 78th Street recently signed a contract for Duplex Penthouse 11B, a five-bedroom and five-bathroom residence, which was listed for $16,950,000. The home was the last available residence in the building, so its sale heralds 150 East 78th Street being 100% sold. In addition, an over $33,000,000 residence just closed, it is a combined unit of the top two penthouse floors of the building. In addition, the popular French patisserie Angelina Paris signed a lease to open a new location, its second in Manhattan, at the base of the building.
“Midwood Investment & Development and EJS Group are proud to have worked alongside the stellar design team to bring 150 East 78th Street to the Upper East Side and offer truly special homes,” said John Usdan, CEO of Midwood Investment & Development. “Compass Development Marketing Group’s Alexa Lambert drove sales of this stunning development with her experience and market expertise and we are thrilled at the building being completely sold.”
