US Attorney Preet Bharara is investigating the massive tax breaks granted to Midtown's luxury One57 condo building, where a mystery buyer just paid a record $100 million-plus for the duplex penthouse, sources told The Post on Sunday.
The now-disbanded Moreland Commission panel on public corruption was reported to have been investigating the sweetheart tax abatements scored by developer Gary Barnett of Extell Development. Bharara took over that probe when he subpoenaed the firm's records after Gov. Cuomo unexpectedly shut down the commission last year, sources said.
The One57 tax abatements are estimated to be worth at least $35 million.
One57's tax abatements were granted under the "421-a" program, which was highlighted in last week's criminal complaint against Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, who is charged in a $4 million corruption scheme. He was accused of using his power over development incentives to steer business to a law firm run by his former Assembly counsel.
The "Billionaires Row" high-rise on West 57th Street (left) was among five luxury developments that got 421-a tax breaks authorized by state lawmakers in 2013.
A Bharara spokesman declined to comment. A representative for Extell didn't immediately respond to an e-mail on Sunday evening.
