The Bettman’s already own unit 1610 at Toscana South. The couple paid $1.5 million for the 2,900-square-foot condo in November 2006.

Including the latest purchase by the Bettman’s, Toscana has only had three transactions of at least $3 million, according to Douglas Elliman director of luxury real estate Senada Adzem, who served as listing agent in the deal.

A Queens, N.Y. native, Bettman has served as NHL commissioner for more than 20 years. — Eric Kalis
