Rumor has it that the $ 50 million penthouse at 212 West 18th Street (Walker Tower) has gone to contract with a rather rich oil+gas guy from Texas…..and the rumor goes further ….that he combined additional units to make a $ 95m combination penthouse. If this rumor is true, this would be the most expensive residential sale in Manhattan….ever. Not bad for a building on 18th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues above a Verizon building! ……if the rumor is indeed reality. As we all know, there is more rumor and BS in reality-land than anywhere:  Just ask Snooki.
