One of Long Island City’s most-expensive condos found a buyer last week at a record price after lingering on the market for six months -- all within days after Amazon.com Inc.’s announcement that it’s coming to the Queens neighborhood.
The two-bedroom unit at the waterfront complex called the View went into contract last week, after being listed for 189 days and getting a 9.1 percent price cut, according to StreetEasy. The buyer paid cash, and more than the $2.998 million the owner last sought, said Silvette Julian, the Compass broker who listed the property. At the listed price, the deal comes out to $2,077 a square foot -- a neighborhood record, Julian said.
