Ratner exec identified as $4.1M Prime buyer

Richard Pesin, an executive vice president with Forest City Ratner Companies, the group behind the controversial Atlantic Yards development project, has been identified as the purchaser of a $4.1 million penthouse apartment at the Prime, a condo at 333 West 14th Street. The Real Deal reported the sale of the 4,000-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-bathroom penthouse with three balconies and a private roof terrace Dec. 18, but did not know the identity of the buyer. The development, which up until recently had difficulty moving units, is being represented by R.P. Miller. R.P. Miller did not immediately respond to The Real Deal’s requests for comment.
