Canada drops $9M on NYC luxury condo for consul general’s official residence
OTTAWA — Canada has spent $9 million for a luxury condo in Manhattan to be used as the official residence for its consul general in New York.
Global Affairs Canada says a previous New York City residence purchased in 1961 isn’t up to code and doesn’t meet the department’s standards, but won’t say what is being done with it.
The deed to the new condo shows it was listed for more than $6.6 million USD and was sold last month to “His Majesty the King in right of Canada.”
The title of the buyer sparked a lively discussion in New York real estate circles about whether King Charles himself had bought the luxury home.
