Daphne Guinness and the interior of the Stanhope spread
Beer heiress and fashion muse Daphne Guinness has finally found a buyer for her four-bedroom apartment at the former Stanhope hotel, just two months after she settled a lawsuit with her neighbors at the building, The Real Deal has learned.
The deal for the 4,118-square-foot spread closed earlier this month for $11.3 million, listing broker Daniel Neiditch of River2River Realty said today.

Four or five listings in another new development are also coming her way soon, she said, declining to identify the property. “I would love to represent a whole building,” Kleier said. “Truthfully, we have never been set up for it.” [NYT]… [more]
