The high demand for penthouses in the core serves as a backdrop to the recent deal that Aspen Core Ventures and managing partner Nikos Hecht made with City Council this week to save two Aspen landmarks in exchange for an approval to build a 6,900-square-foot condo on the third floor of a new mixed-use building. The citys land-use code currently caps downtown residential units at 2,500 square feet.
DOWNTOWN ASPEN REAL ESTATE - Penthouses in the Aspen core are a hot commodity with two recent sales downtown for over $6 million each.The penthouse in the newly expanded Crandall Building, located on the corner of Spring Street at 630 E. Hyman Ave., sold in January for about $6.277 million after being on the market for 30 days. Two units on the second and third floors of the Ute City building at 308 E. Hopkins Ave. sold together for about $6.275 million in August. [Aspen Broker Tim Estin of Coldwell Banker Mason Morse represented the buyers.] Last year, the most expensive residential sale per square foot downtown was a penthouse located across from Koch Park called Aspen West.
