In 2013, the penthouse — the largest condo at The Alteza — sold for $2.975 million, The Wall Street Journal says. At the time, it was the most expensive condo ever sold in the city. The Journal identified Paul Boskind, a psychologist, philanthropist, LGBTQ activist, and Tony Award-winning Broadway producer, as the buyer.
In February 2016, Boskind listed the penthouse for $4.5 million. The following month, it was taken off the market. Bexar County records show Boskind still owns the property.
In March, The Journal reported Boskind’s 5,153-square-foot penthouse in New York City’s Midtown Manhattan hit the market for $14 million. He bought it in 2019 for $12.8 million.
Aside from his San Antonio and New York City penthouses, Boskind owns a castle in Ireland.
Born and raised in San Antonio, Boskind graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio and St. Mary’s University. He is president, CEO, and owner of San Antonio-based Deer Creek, a provider of mental-health services.
The last time it was listed, it was the most expensive condo ever sold in the city.
San Antonians love a cozy backyard where the green grass grows.
