On Tuesday, just two days before Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about a Russian real-estate deal he tried to broker on behalf of President Trump during the 2016 election, Cohen entered into a no-lie real-estate deal of his own.
Cohen, Trump’s former personal attorney, put his Tribeca condo at 111 Murray St. — which he listed for rent — into contract, according to a StreetEasy listing update.
The 2,697-square-foot dwelling most recently asked $18,500 per month, according to 6sqft, which first reported news of the contract.

It appears that Cohen never lived in this home, which has a private elevator landing, an open kitchen and a master suite with views of the Hudson River.
He spent $6.7 million for it earlier this year. He purchased it as an investment while facing pressure to defer taxes made in 2017 from the $3.3 million sale of his Trump World Tower apartment, 6sqft notes. By buying a new unit, the site continues, he took part in the 1031 exchange that permits investors to roll proceeds from one transaction to another.
The finalized rent for the unit isn’t clear, nor is the new tenant.
Additional features include oak flooring and floor-to-ceiling windows. The building, rising some 800 feet over the West Side Highway, has amenities such as two pools, a 3,000-square-foot fitness center and a private dining room with a demonstration kitchen.
