From the June issue: Last October, a banking executive offered Ian Reisner and Mati
Weiderpass of Parkview Developers $15.5 million in cash for their
apartment, a 4,000-square-foot combination of five apartments at
Southmoor House at 230 Central Park South. The pair didn’t have to think hard about turning down the offer. “After
thinking about where we would move, we realized we would never be able
to replace this,” Reisner said, gesturing to the 16th- and 17th-floor
views of Central Park. For Reisner, 40, and Weiderpass, 49, the
apartment is as much a home as their headquarters for Parkview, and it
is where they conceived plans for the 505, a seven-story, 109-unit
ground-up condo in Hell’s Kitchen that is impressively 90 percent sold
after launching in late 2007. Reisner attributes their success to a
formula of low-priced units — the majority sold in the low $600,000
range — in a booming neighborhood, and said he’s excited to relaunch
the sales office this summer to sell the remaining units: four
one-bedrooms, two two-bedroom penthouses and one three-bedroom
penthouse.
