“And, should a deep-pocketed buyer purchase this newly listed penthouse at 16 Fifth Ave. for its $59.95 million ask, Manhattan’s prime Greenwich Village will see its newest record sale for a condominium home, The Post has learned.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim cites The Post regarding a $59.95 million ask at 16 Fifth Ave. While the evidence confirms general information about Fifth Avenue and Greenwich Village, no independent sources corroborate the specific $59.95 million asking price or the claim that it would set a new record for a condominium home in Greenwich Village.
