Leonard Steinberg, a 20-year real estate veteran, is the president of the tech-driven brokerage firm Compass and an expert when it comes to innovation.
“I worked on the design and marketing of 150 Charles Street for almost seven years,” says Steinberg, a native of Cape Town, South Africa, who sold himself on a 2,200-square-foot two-bedroom apartment in the CookFox Architects–designed building. “I love the location, the graciously proportioned rooms, and amenities like the gym and the pool. And the West Village is virtually recession-proof.”
The building is a celebrity magnet and has been home to big names like Jon Bon Jovi and Ben Stiller.
