One 7th was marketed by a maitre d’ at Balthazar and developed by a nightclub investor who said, presumably with a straight face (this was early 2008, after all), “When I picture who is going to live here, I see an investment banker with an artist inside or an artist with a lot of money. I see the banker sitting totally naked in a chaise longue at the apex of the 45-degree angle, looking out at the cars driving down Seventh Ave., on the phone with his friends, thinking: ‘How am I going to own this town tonight?’”
