A duplex at the Tadao Ando-designed 152 Elizabeth St. in Manhattan went into contract last week in an off-market deal, Mansion Global has learned. It was asking $35 million.
The four-bedroom penthouse, which was never publicly listed, has four-and-a-half bathrooms, floor-to-ceiling windows, Dinesen oak flooring, and a humidification system for the preservation of artwork.

The apartment also has a kitchen with eucalyptus wood cabinets and marble countertops, a wood-burning fireplace, a custom-designed stone, glass and satin stainless steel staircase and three terraces on three floors, including a roof deck with a granite stone fireplace, an outdoor kitchen, a carved granite soaking tub and an outdoor shower.

Mr. Steinberg declined to identify the buyer.
The Nolita building is the first residential development in New York City and outside Asia for Pritzker Prize-winning architect Tadao Ando, who "wanted the building to be an urban sanctuary," Mr. Steinberg said. Made of poured-in-place concrete and metal, it offers in-building parking and has a fog and light installation in the lobby. Four of the building’s seven units are now in contract, according to listing records.
The most expensive publicly listed home on the market in Nolita right now is one of the Jared Kushner-developed Puck Penthouses at on Lafayette Street. It’s asking $29.5 million, $5.5 million less than the duplex’s asking price.
