Martin Chavez, Goldman Sachs's departing coder-in-chief, is
listing his townhouse in New York's West Village for $19.95 million
amid a planned move to the West Coast.
The four-story, four-bedroom property -- one of a handful of
townhouses built as part of the Superior Ink condominium project --
has a distinctive white, highly modern look.
Annie Lo and Torsten Schlauersbach, designers who both formerly
worked for Norman Foster's architecture firm Foster + Partners,
spearheaded a massive renovation of the unit, which features a
concrete-and-steel staircase that resembles a spine, radiant-heated
concrete floors and a double-height, atrium-style living room with
a loft and a fireplace that appears to be floating on a
cantilevered shelf. In the back, custom Italian, bronze doors lead
to a garden with a waterfall and a pond.
Altogether, the property spans about 5,150 square feet with an
additional 1,525 square feet of outdoor space, according to the
listing agents.
Mr. Chavez bought the townhouse for $10.5 million in 2011,
public records show. The unit comes with access to the amenities of
the condo, which include a fitness center, a children's playroom
and parking garage.
Mr. Chavez, 55, joined Goldman Sachs in 1993 as a coder in the
commodities trading division and worked his way up to positions
that included chief financial officer. Once a candidate to be the
finance giant's next chief executive, he most recently headed
Goldman's push to digitize the business. He recently announced he
was retiring from Wall Street and moving to California, where he
will teach a course at Stanford University and consider jobs in
venture capital.
He declined to comment but a spokesman for Goldman Sachs said he
would formally retire at the end of the year.
Raphael De Niro, Lauren De Niro Pipher and Sara Dai Freeland of
Douglas Elliman have the listing.
