35 West 64th St. has been sold for $26 million. Situated between Central Park West and Broadway, the nine-story apartment building is comprised of 68 residential units and houses the Picholene restaurant. Prior to its conversion to an apartment building, the property was known as the Hotel Monticello. Originally estimated to sell for $22 million, the property was sold for $26 million and closed within 30 days of an executed Contract of Sale. This was the first sale of the property since 1968 and it was sold to a partnership comprised of Astoria Realty Partners LLC and Mornos Realty LLC, a private investor client of Friedman-Roth Realty Services LLC. Jude Dayani, of Orsid Realty, represented the seller while Joseph Smith and Nadeem Haque, both of Friedman-Roth, represented the purchaser. In 1930, one of the hotel's most infamous residents, Jack "Legs" Diamond, while resting in his hotel suite, was shot 5 times by a rival mob yet miraculously survived the murder attempt.
