Google exec buys at 15 CPW for $29M

Omid Kordestani, Google’s senior vice president of global sales and business development, has purchased a penthouse duplex at 15 Central Park West for $29.5 million, according to city records posted today.

Kordestani bought unit 16-17C, a 5,416-square-foot unit with a 405-square-foot terrace. Kordestani will be a neighbor to Goldman Sachs chairman and CEO Lloyd Blankfein, who bought unit 16-17A for $26 million.

Kordestani joined Google in 1998, one year after the company was founded, and has been called the mastermind behind the partnership and advertising decisions that helped make the company become a household name. In 2006 he was named one of Time Magazine’s “100 people who shape our world.”
