It seems even billionaires like Apollo Global Management co-founder Marc Rowan are having to adjust their price expectations amid an oversupply in the luxury residential market.

Rowan and his wife Carolyn bought the ground-floor unit for just $7.7 million in 2012, records show. It was the third apartment they’d purchased in the building. Their previous purchases included a fifth-floor spread they bought for $26 million in 2013.

The three-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom ground-floor unit was previously home to a plastic surgeon’s office, but has been completely redone as a high-end apartment designed by Tony Ingrao. It comes with a billiards table and a glass and matrix stone bar.

It’s listed by Juliette Janssens and Allison Koffman of Sotheby’s International Realty [TRDataCustom], who were not immediately available for comment.
