Leviev's buildings in trouble

December 24, 2008 11:00AM
The Apthorp

Two projects purchased by Israeli diamond merchant and developer Lev Leviev last year -- the Apthorp, an apartment building at 390 West End Avenue, and the old New York Times headquarters at 229 West 43rd Street -- are now struggling. The Apthorp is in danger of defaulting and only one unit has sold in the last six months. Leviev filed an emergency injunction last week to take control of the project from its managing party and 50 percent owner, Maurice Mann. The former Times building remains mostly unleased.

Boo Hoo Blood Diamond Merchant Lev Leviev cannot convert the beautiful Apthorp into another condo-abomination and stuff his already full pockets with cash using his fat greedy fingers. I hope he invested with Bernie "The Macher" Madoff too
