Keith Pattiz was interviewed on January 25 by New York Public Radio WNYC concerning the mortgage default on Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village, the largest real estate complex in New York City. The property owner and asset manager companies, which bought the complex in 2006, have handed it over to creditors who are expected to try to sell it. Mr. Pattiz had represented other buyers interested in the property in 2006 whose offers were in line with the winning one, and who might consider similar bids now. “People did not view the numbers as just so far off the mark that they couldn’t rationalize it,” Mr. Pattiz said of those earlier offers. “These are smart people, and if they’re successful in their strategy there’s money to be made here.”
