St. Regis Penthouse Was $70,000,000, Now $35,000,000
Alexander Clark
The original "asking" price for the 20,000 square foot St. Regis Penthouse (188 Minna), was $70,000,000, and at that price it was only slightly ambitious. Now at 50% less or $35,000,000 and still not officially "listed" on MLS, I expect all but one of the buyers in San Francisco to be able to qualify for this property.

According to the Wall Street Journal, this penthouse is "likely the most expensive bank-owned, single-family residential real estate listing in the country." If that doesn't get all of you first time buyers looking for a deal and to purchase foreclosed property to jump at this opportunity, perhaps the description will: Six bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, four fireplaces, a library and a home theater. The living room has 22-foot-high ceilings and an entrance foyer with a two-story waterfall feature. There's also a 2,500-square-foot master suite with a gym, sauna and steam room and 3,000 square feet of terraces with views of the city and the bay.

Because you always ask…and I'm always happy to share, "The apartment was built by real-estate investment manager and developer Victor MacFarlane, who purchased three apartment shells then combined them into one large finished unit. He sold it back to the bank in a deed in lieu of foreclosure after it failed to sell after several price cuts. The unit is now owned by Second Step Asset Management, a subsidiary of Bank of America."
And it could be yours for $35,000,000…chump change.
