Financier nabs troubled Bond Street condo for major discount

Troubled condo 22 Bond St. has found its first buyer.

Jamie Reuben, the son of billionaire property investor David Reuben, paid around $7.8 million for a home there that first went on the market in 2017 for $10.42 million. The three-bedroom pad runs 2,939 square feet and has a balcony, according to the listing. Features include northern and southern exposures, a kitchen with a marble island and floor-to-ceiling windows.

The younger Reuben, a financier, is an investor in Robin Birley’s 5 Hertford Street, a private London club that operates basement venue Loulou’s, which is a go-to spot for royals, heads of state and celebs including George Clooney, Mick Jagger and Kate Moss.

Sales at the long-delayed six-unit condo launched in 2017 after the developers, Louis Greco’s Second Development Services and Richport Group, had to abandon plans for a boutique hotel they had already started construction.

The developers bought the lot in Noho for $8.5 million in 2007.

Construction was originally slated for completion in 2015, but fell behind schedule. As the real estate market cooled, the developers restructured their $45.5 million construction loan by bringing in Josh Zegen’s Madison Realty Capital in 2017.

Other units in the building, which are not publicly listed for sale right now, include a nearly 4,000-square-foot penthouse with three bedrooms that asked $14.78 million.

Ravi Kantha and Matthew Lesser of Leslie J. Garfield had the listing for Reuben’s unit.
