Zeckendorf buying Wasserstein’s 5th Ave. pad
William Zeckendorf, who was revealed yesterday to be on his way to a city record after finding a buyer who agreed to pay $40 million for his 15 Central Park West penthouse, has made a noteworthy offer of his own across town. According to the Post, the developer has put in a bid for around $27 million on the 927 Fifth Avenue co-op owned by late investment banking honcho Bruce Wasserstein, and the sellers have accepted. The 11th-floor duplex just hit the market Oct. 29 for $26 million, and was such a hot commodity that brokers were given only until the end of Halloween weekend to come up with sealed bids from their buyers. Sources said Zeckendorf’s winning bid was not the highest, but the Post noted that the developer co-owns Brown Harris Stevens, whose Mary Rutherford was the listing broker. [Post]
