Leder’s sale to Hafner marks a 60 percent return on investment based on his purchase price. Leder paid $15 million for the four-bedroom, six-bathroom penthouse in 2013. Restaurateur Myles Chefetz sold the unit to him. 

The unit has 4,452 square feet of exterior space, including a private rooftop with a pool, spa and outdoor kitchen, according to the listing. Sarah Williams and Ginette Behar of Societe Real Estate represented the seller. Corcoran Group’s Mick Duchon and Eloy Carmenate represented the buyer. 

The 28-unit Ocean House was constructed in 2009.
