1107 Broadway in Flatiron Sells for $235 M.

A 16-story building across the street from the Flatiron building and next to the Toy Building was sold for $235 million, according to city records.

Joseph Chetrit sold 1107 Broadway, at 24th Street, to Tessler Developments, a city-based real estate developer. Mr. Chetrit sold the Toy Building at 200 Fifth Avenue earlier this year for $480 million to L&L Holding Company and elected to hold off on selling 1107 Broadway--which is connected to 200 Fifth by a sky-bridge--until the summer. The deal went into contract in July and closed on Oct. 15, according to city records.
