Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's real estate company has spent $88 million for a vacant property in an up-and-coming neighborhood on Manhattan's far west side.

The deal made public Thursday allows Spitzer Enterprises to build as much as 415,000 square feet on the property at 35th Street between 10th and 11th Avenues.

The New York Times reports Spitzer wouldn't say what he's got planned for the development. Several developments nearby are being made into tall, mixed-use residential and commercial buildings.

You're a little behind the times. That's his soon-to-be ex-wife. This is his new squeeze:


Eliot Spitzer, left, has been seen at the apartment of Lis Smith late at night then leaving before dawn last week. She worked as Spitzer's campaign spokeswoman during his failed bid for New York City Comptroller.

That is his current wife? Gal in the pix looks much younger and actually resembles Cheryl Crow, IMO. Old picture, maybe?

Looks like he is wearing the same suit in both pictures. Frankly, he is slimy looking in any picture.

Nah, makeup and demeanor. Here she is playing the haggard all-suffering wife:

And here she is out on her own:

And yeah, she does look quite a bit like Sheryl Crow. The new one is about 20 years younger.

Why silly, it's New York, and he's a demoncrat...

It's from graft and corruption..

Oh wait. I think that was his source for campaign donations...

I know that area pretty well.There's a huge project nearby called “Hudson Park” which,I assume,is gonna be largely office space...but I'm not sure of that.The Javitz Center is right there as well.

Spritzer was involved in a 4 year project to renovate the Javits Center when he was governor. I am sure a lot of his cronies made money in that deal.

I am sure that why he is buying this property. The powers that be probably picked this part of town for some other major development projects.

His family is fabulously wealthy. Spitzer is one of the many wealthy Kleptocrats that pose as a common men while feeding off the taxpayers.
