Late pharma exec’s 15 CPW duplex asks $62.5M

A duplex apartment at the Zeckendorfs’ 15 Central Park West has hit the market asking $62.5 million. The 5,610-square-foot apartment on the 18th and 19th floors of the iconic building has four bedrooms and seven bathrooms.

The Ullman Family Partnership is selling the duplex, which is listed with Brown Harris Stevens superbroker Kyle Blackmon. The apartment boasts a 392-square-foot park-facing terrace, a staff room with a separate entrance and an internal elevator, according to the listing.

The partnership bought the apartment for $23.5 million in March 2008, according to public records seen by the Wall Street Journal. The family’s Richard Ullman, a top pharmaceutical executive, was shopping the apartment for a few years before he died two years ago, but this is the first time it has officially hit the market, sources told the newspaper. The Journal did not include a comment from Blackmon or the family. [WSJ]  – Hiten Samtani
