Buyer given time to close on $45M Plaza unit
Elad Properties is giving troubled Italian businessman Luigi Zunino extra time to come up with the rest of the money to buy a three-unit apartment at the Plaza. Zunino missed his deadline to close on the $45 million unit, which he paid a $9 million deposit for. The Wall Street Journal previously reported that Zunino was trying to sell the apartment for $100 million, even though he hadn’t closed yet. In December 2008, sources said representatives of Italy’s prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, came to see the 10,026-square-foot apartment, which has six bedrooms, three kitchens, six baths, a library, gallery and terrace. According to the Times, there are about 30 listings at The Plaza, with
a total asking price of more than $250 million, and only one resale has
closed since September 2008.
