Luxury marketing guru Louise Sunshine told the Post that she is meeting with the Corcoran Group CEO Pam Liebman today to discuss new business opportunities. Sunshine, who sold her company, the Sunshine Group, to the owners of Corcoran for $9 million in 2002, is also teaming up with her son, Corcoran broker Sam Sunshine, to sell her husband’s One Beacon Court apartment. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit is on the 36th floor, with Hudson River views through floor-to-ceiling windows, and a $6.75 million price tag. An open house will be held in the 1,972-square-foot space Dec. 1, and will be catered by Le Cirque, which is located in the Upper East Side building. Former GE chief Jack Welch recently bought a flat there, paying $8.3 million for the addition to his 46th-floor apartment.
