News comes to us that the developers of the 200 West End Avenue Condominium have closed on their final apartment and that the closing took place at the end of 2009. We are also told that the $/sq ft sellout for the Clarett Group project was well above $1,350/sq ft for the 166 apartments at the luxury Upper West Side condominium. The Costas Kondylis & Partners designed building was initially slated for 191 apartments but public records show that numerous apartments were combined. Records show there were two Penthouse combinations done at 200WEA creating enormous full floor 4,019 square foot homes. These residences sold for $8 million and $8.2 million respectively.

We wrote about 200 West End Avenue in 2007 but the project remained under the radar with the exception of the purchase of a 22^nd floor residence by Howard Stern’s news anchor and sidekick, Robin Quivers. Ms. Quivers paid $2,425,000 in May of 2008 and is still the owner of the apartment.

While we rated the building an A- in 2007 and still feel $1,350/sq ft is more than a fair price for these apartments, Steven Pasquale, of Rescue Me fame, may disagree. In documents recorded in December of 2009, Mr. Pasquale sold his 788 square foot 1 bedroom at 200 West End Avenue for $865,000 which is $45,000 less than what he paid in January of 2008.

Streeteasy.com shows no other apartments currently listed for sale which means fellow television star, Jack McBrayer, is keeping his 992 square foot apartment. Public records show the 30 Rock star purchased the apartment in 2008 for $1.35 million.

Congratulations to the Clarett Group on their successful completion of 200 West End Avenue.
