The penthouse also has a 306-square-foot rooftop patio that is only accessible via the penthouse. (Image: Courtesy Coldwell Banker)<p></p>

According to the developer: “Bitcoin has flourished so dramatically that if an investor had purchased the cryptocurrency at its start, their investment would have soared astronomically at today’s value." (Image: Courtesy Coldwell Banker)<p></p>

"That’s why we’re offering the development for purchase with Bitcoin—we see a real value in the investment in the currency and want to provide Bitcoin investors with a chance to turn their currency into a tangible asset.” (Image: Courtesy Coldwell Banker)

While the developers wanted a clean start for their renovation, they also wanted to preserve some of the original elements of the 104-year-old building. (Image: Courtesy Coldwell Banker)<p></p>

Plus, the units offer an open floor plan and an abundance of natural light. (Image: Courtesy Coldwell Banker)<p></p>
