Documents contained in recently released Epstein files show that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein quietly helped finance the development of a luxury Manhattan condominium building that later attracted high-profile buyers, including Chelsea Clinton, NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon, and entertainer Jennifer Lopez, as reported by The New York Post.
The building, located at 21 East 26th Street in Manhattan’s NoMad neighborhood overlooking Madison Square Park, was converted from a historic structure into a boutique luxury residence known as the Whitman.
According to records and emails reviewed in the Epstein files, Epstein invested in the project years before the building’s units were offered for sale.

The five-story Neo-Georgian building was redesigned into four full-floor residences along with a duplex penthouse. The limited number of units and full-floor layouts were marketed as luxury features when sales launched in 2013.

According to reporting first highlighted by The Real Deal, developer David Mitchell offered Epstein an opportunity to participate in the project in 2011 through an early investment structure.
Emails show Mitchell pitching the opportunity directly to Epstein.
“I think this is attractive because most of the risk of approvals and asbestos removal is behind,” Mitchell wrote in a 2011 email discussing the deal. “No guarantees, but should be good.”
Documents indicate Epstein invested approximately $920,000 into the development through a stake in the project’s sponsor entity, along with a smaller limited-partner position.
That structure provided him access to profit participation typically reserved for developers involved in the project.
Correspondence included in the files suggests Epstein moved quickly to finalize the investment.
“I’m closing today on your deal, with no due diligence. I am merely relying on your representations. thanks and good luck,” Epstein wrote in a message to Mitchell.
