George Soros’ ex-wife sells co-op at $5M loss after 17 years

Susan Weber Soros’ lavish Central Park West co-op didn’t prove to be a good investment.

The five-bedroom penthouse at The Majestic, which spans 6,000 square feet, sold last week for $20.5 million, according to property records. Soros, previously married to billionaire investor George Soros, bought the property at 115 Central Park West in 2006 for $25 million, records show.

Weber Soros first listed the home 11 years ago for $50 million and had moved it on and off the market until finally coming to terms with a buyer.

Listing agent Lisa Lippman of Brown Harris Stevens declined to comment on the sale.

The unit overlooks Central Park and has 900 square feet of outdoor space, including a 100-foot-long north-facing terrace that also looks onto the roof of the Dakota building, according to a listing posted on StreetEasy.

It has five full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, two guest bedrooms and a terrace off the primary suite.

The chef’s kitchen opens onto the dining room, which Lippman’s listing describes as an unusual feature for a pre-war building on the park.

The primary suite has two side-by-side rooms and an office with park views and two dressing rooms. Its bathroom has an oversized, custom bathtub and a double marble vanity, as well as a steam shower and a separate toilet and sink.

The unit also has two powder rooms, hardwood floors throughout and multiple zones of central AC. Its $2,000 monthly capital assessment through December amounts to a rounding error for the unknown buyer.

Amenities at the building include doormen, concierge, hall men, porters, elevator attendants and a resident manager. There’s also a gym, playroom and rooftop terrace and solarium. 

Discounts have been common in the city’s luxury market as of late. Co-ops in general have struggled to get top dollar, as buyers increasingly favor newer condos where there’s no application and board approval process.
