A boutique Manhattan condo building that drew celebrity buyers including Chelsea Clinton, NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon and Jennifer Lopez also had an unlikely early investor: convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Documents from the recently released Epstein files reveal that the disgraced, and deceased, financier quietly backed the luxury conversion of 21 E. 26th St. in NoMad, a historic property overlooking Madison Square Park later marketed as the Whitman.
The five-story Neo-Georgian building was transformed into just four full-floor residences and a duplex penthouse, a design that helped lure a roster of high-profile buyers when sales launched in 2013, according to the Real Deal, which first reported this news.
Behind the scenes, however, emails show developer David Mitchell offered Epstein an unusually favorable entry into the project years earlier.
“I think this is attractive because most of the risk of approvals and asbestos removal is behind,” Mitchell wrote in a 2011 email pitching the deal. “No guarantees but should be good.”
Epstein ultimately committed roughly $920,000 through a stake in the project’s sponsor entity and a smaller limited-partner investment — a structure that gave him access to profits typically reserved for developers.

Was that wrong? Should he not have done that?
She met the next best thing...his now imprisoned pimp enabler when she was invited to Chelsea's wedding.
I’m sure she met him hundreds of times. Such a liar.
Lauren Boebert gets yelled at by Hillary Clinton over leaked photo during Epstein deposition
Chelsea probably got her condo FREE, compliments of the man her mom claims she never met.
I wonder if this is perhaps the piece of property Bill Clinton said in his deposition that Donald Trump told him he had a fallout with Epstein about. They were at a charity golf event and Trump related it to Clinton as a “piece of property in Manhattan.” He said he was told he cut all ties with Epstein after that.
While Bill in his deposition seemed to be defending Trump and any relationship he had with Epstein..Hillary was hanging Trump in HER deposition. They evidently didn’t compare notes before going in to the depositions.
Aide to Epstein: What if we throw in Chelsea as a sweetener like the deal making rock musicians did with Kate Hudson in Almost Famous?
Epstein: How dare you? I have standards.
Gosh, golly, jeee...Nice digs. Chelsea sure has been able to stretch those earnings from her former NBC gig. Dave Ramsey could learn from her.
At least Jeff Gordon sold his unit. I’m not sure why that Pittsboro, IN hometown boy decided he should have a place near Chelsea and her husband, but there you go.
“I’ve tried really hard to care about things that were very different from my parents. I was curious if I could care about [money] on some fundamental level, and I couldn’t. That wasn’t the metric of success I wanted in my life.” —Chelsea Hubble
Her mom demonstrated financial acuity with many astute investments in cattle futures.
