Rosen purchased the unit through a trust and received a 9.5 percent discount on the original $8.4 million asking price. He is marketing condos at 100 East 53rd Street, where a still-available penthouse is going for $65 million.

His company RFR Realty recently landed a $140 million loan for the Paramount Hotel in Times Square. [Bloomberg] – Eddie Small
