I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one 
... I mean, what's the point of paying $5M for a crazy pad if you're gonna list it at almost half the price? It feels like Rechnitz is playing some kinda game here 
. He spent years and tons of cash revamping that place, and now he's just selling it to recoup some losses 
. I get why he'd want out - philanthropy can be draining (no pun intended) - but isn't this penthouse his pride and joy? I guess we'll have to wait for the buyer's profile to see if they're as eccentric as Rechnitz 
.

But seriously, $4.9 million is a pretty steep price tag for me. It's like he's putting all his money on one thing and hoping it'll make up for some financial struggles 
. I can see why someone would want to live here, especially if you're into that whole "industrial chic" vibe 
. But, at the end of the day, $5 million is still a lot of money, and I wonder what Rechnitz's thinking on this one 
.
Either way, it'll be interesting to see how the penthouse sells and who ends up owning such an amazing space 
.
