Except for the $14.5 million penthouse, everything in the condo conversion at 54 Bond Street&nbsp;has been sold.
<p>Two separate buyers have taken the&nbsp;entire&nbsp;third and&nbsp;fourth floors&nbsp;of the building, according to developer <strong>Adam Gordon</strong>. The third-floor unit, which was listed for $4.5 million, has sold for <strong>$4.365 million</strong>. The buyer is&nbsp;MSD LLC. Could it be one of the celebs who have previewed the place in the last few months? Not if those initials are anything to go by.</p>
<p>The apartment on the fourth floor&nbsp;was listed for $4.75 million and has sold for <strong>$4.35 million</strong>, according to Mr. Gordon, who spoke to <em>The Observer </em>on Friday. He declined to tell us who the buyers were. &nbsp;</p>
<p>--After three years and a $3 million price cut, real estate maven <strong>Elizabeth Rad</strong>'s<strong> </strong>Tribeca loft has sold for <strong>$6.85 million</strong>. The 11th-floor, five-bedroom unit at <strong>166 Duane Street</strong> is in good condition, but the decor might need an update, according to <strong>Sotheby</strong>'s broker <strong>Tom Doyle</strong>.&nbsp;It was originally listed by Corcoran in 2007 for $9.95 million, but Mr. Doyle took over in May and&nbsp;dropped the price to $7.49 million, after which it swiftly went into contract.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ms. Rad's difficulties were perhaps surprising given her credentials. She was the president of investment firm Corrado Properties and has gone on to cultivate the Sorrel River&nbsp;Ranch and Spa and fine restaurant Le Relais de Venise L'Entrecote. <em>The Observer </em>placed calls to&nbsp;her various locales, but none were returned. The buyer is <strong>Palmyra LLC.</strong></p>
<p>--Celebrity stylist <strong>Phillip Bloch </strong>has finally unloaded his West Village pad, with its <a href="http://ny.curbed.com/archives/2010/02/24/celebrity_stylist_trying_to_unload_worst_floorplan_ever.php">notoriously funky layout</a>. Perhaps the most striking feature of the three-bedroom, one-bathroom unit is that the entrance to the kitchen is in the bedroom (convenient for those midnight cravings). But, critics, hang your heads because the place has gone for<strong> $1.04 million, </strong>which is not so bad considering it was most recently listed for $1.125 million. The buyer is <strong>Antoine Roy, </strong>who could be a French-Canadian military hero, a 245-pound wrestler or a VP at an asset management company. You decide.</p>
