I’m surprised this sign hasn’t been egged, or better yet, tagged and graffiti’d… A few months after 11 Spring Street had its big street art blowout, the scaffolding went up and then eventually this sign: “Three Unique Residences Starting At $6,700,000.” We knew this was coming, but I didn’t think they’d flaunt it. Note the writing out of every zero (and the size of the building that will be divided into a mere three units). Rich dork butts. To gawk at more million-dollar apartments and everything else that’s for sale, check out streeteasy.com, my favorite source for NYC real estate porn.
