In 2008, apartments in the building sold for prices ranging up to $4,000-per-square-foot.[17][18][19] In 2009, a penthouse was purchased for $12.98 million.[20] Also in 2009, the developer rented out five of the building's apartments, at $13,000-per-month for three-bedroom apartments, and $18,000-per-month for a four-bedroom apartment.[21]
