Mina himself owns a condo on the 33rd floor, and he and his family hang out in the owners lounge. "I take my boys there all the time instead of bringing them into the restaurant," he says.
Perkins, a founder of Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers, has yet to move in. He bought the $9.35 million space completely unfinished, with concrete floors, open ceilings and no walls. "Typically, an owner who can purchase a space like that is looking for a blank canvas," Baumert says. Perkins' was the most expensive purchase in the building to date, though there's a larger space on the 59th floor that's still on the market. Units in the tower sell for $2 million, on average. Millennium Partners lowered prices on all the condos in the building by 15% in January because of the economic downturn, even extending the discount to properties already under contract. "That's kind of how we roll," Baumert says, adding that the building will have closed about $140 million in sales between May and September. "Sales have been good," he says. "I'm pleased with the pace now that summer is over." -- Reported by Carmen Nobel in Boston. Follow TheStreet.com on Twitter and become a fan on Facebook.TheStreet Premium Services
