Luxury apartments at the Solaria high-rise in Riverdale are going up for auction on Nov. 22, with starting bids at nearly half-price.

It’s either been a lonely or very exclusive three years for the occupants of 10 apartments in this fancy high-rise Bronx condo.
After years of being battered by a slumping economy and stagnant sales, developers of the swanky Solaria in Riverdale are hoping the market is back by trying a new sales technique.
They are putting 54 of the long-empty condos on the auction block - with starting bids around half the original asking prices.
The auction, slated for 1 p.m. on Nov. 22 at the Sheraton New York in Manhattan, is being billed as the largest auction in the Northeast.
“This is really a great opportunity for folks,” said Jim Corum, president of Real Estate Disposition, the auction company running the sale.
