Purchased for $1,481,000 in October 2007 ($1,239 per square) and then taken back by the bank this part March with $1,234,899 due, the two-bedroom Ritz-Carlton Residences (690 Market) #1502 returned to the market six months ago.
Asking $999,900 ($837 per square) over the past 37 days, as a plugged-in reader notes, the list price was reduced to $949,905 ($795 per square) today. A sale at asking would represent a 36 percent decline in value for the luxury unit over the past three years.
And while “still not cheap” at almost $800 per square, we’re guessing that’s of little solace to those who were sold on $1,200 or more.

  1. re: HOA’s: “hotel” levels of service? But yes, I agree it’s crazy.
    Did the Ritz ever completely sell out?
    Talk about diminishing a “brand”. Wow.

  2. How about “Puttin’ on the Ritz”?
    I had a mistake above — the Beacon purchase was from 2006 not 2007. Things are worse (or better) than I thought.
