William Lie Zeckendorf, a developer of 15 Central Park West who made a $30 million profit on the sale of his penthouse in the building late last year, has already listed the new apartment he bought in December, at 927 Fifth Avenue, brokers familiar with his decision maintain, according to an article by Sarah Kershaw yesterday at cityroomblogs.nytimes.com.
"Brown Harris Stevens is listing Mr. Zeckendorf's co-op at 927 Fifth Avenue, currently configured with five bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms, for $31.5 million this weekend. He closed on it for $29.1 million, according to property records, buying it from the estate of Bruce Wasserstein, the chairman and chief executive of Lazard who died in 2009," the article said.
"Given the listing price, Mr. Zeckendorf obviously isn't planning on realizing anything like the dizzying profits of his 15 Central Park West apartment, for which he paid $10 million," the article continued, noting that "other well-known residents of 927 Fifth have included Mary Tyler Moore and Pale Male, the red-tailed hawk safely ensconced in a 12th-floor aerie at the prewar co-op."
