The $190M Flatiron Building Bidder's Deposit Dilemma.

Jacob Garlick won the auction for the Flatiron Building with a bid of $190 million, but failed to provide the required $19 million deposit, leading to the property likely heading back to auction. Bidders were not required to put down any deposit before participating in the auction, which is highly unorthodox. The property was put up for auction due to a dispute between its majority owners group and Nathan Royce Silverstein, who owned 25 percent. It is unclear why attorneys for the feuding property owners or the judge didn’t require a deposit up front.

Jacob Garlick, who won the bid to acquire the Flatiron Building for $190 million, failed to come up with the required deposit of $19 million by the deadline, putting his future ownership of the property in question. The second-highest bidder, a group led by GFP Real Estate’s Jeffrey Gural, has the option to purchase the property at their last bid of $189.5 million. However, Gural has stated that he will not exercise his option, meaning the property is likely to head back to the auction block. Garlick's firm, Abraham Trust, invests in private equity buyouts, mergers and acquisitions, and venture capital.

The Flatiron Building in New York has been sold for $190m in a court-ordered auction to Abraham Trust, a growth equity venture fund.

The previous owners were allowed to make credit bids on the property, but were outbid by Abraham Trust's managing partner, Jacob Garlick. The landmark building was built in 1902 and is famously triangular.

Flatiron Building fetches record-breaking $190 million at auction.

The iconic Flatiron Building in NYC was sold for $190 million at an auction that lasted 45 minutes and attracted real estate "heavyweights." The winning bidder, Jacob Garlick, is the founding partner of Abraham Trust, a growth equity venture fund.
