HBO top exec rents on Park; Jets’ QB Mark Sanchez checks out TriBeCa; Kristen Wiig’s loft sells in two weeks; former Hearst co-op manse hits the market for $38 million.

HBO CEO Richard Plepler is paying $40,000 a month for a 2,915 square-foot, three-bedroom apartment at 737 Park Avenue. The 15th-floor condominium unit is one of about 50 apartments in a pre-war building that was converted in 2013. Amenities at the Upper East Side residence include a 24-hour doorman, a gym, a children’s playground, a large, paneled dining room and a landscaped backyard. The apartment is owned by South African insurance multimillionaire Adrian Gore (NYPost).

Kristen Wiig’s recently-listed SoHo loft is in contract after only two weeks on the market. The two-bedroom co-op at 476 Broadway, listed at $2.59 million, occupies a sunny corner in a prime downtown spot (TRD).

NY Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez reportedly took a peek at a $4.2 million TriBeCa condo at 84 Thomas Street. The two-bedroom unit, purchased for $2.65 million by a documentary TV producer in 2013, has private elevator access, classic loft details like cast iron columns and a chef’s kitchen (TRD).

After selling her River House apartment to Uma Thurman for $10 million last December, cult-status British romance scribe Barbara Taylor Bradford and her filmmaker husband have acquired a co-op at 975 Park Avenue (pictured) for $4.9 million. The three-bedroom corner unit in the 1929 building has Park Avenue views on two sides, a gas fireplace and several staff rooms (NYO).

The seven-bedroom home spans 7,000 square feet on several floors, and boasts 7,000 more square feet of terraces with Hudson River views and rooms with 15-foot vaulted ceilings.
