15 CPW penthouse closes for $45M

Penthouse 39 has closed at 15 Central Park West for $45 million, according to public records. The buyer was listed on the deed as “Panorama on the Park LLC.” The price indicates that the unit is apparently the 10,674-square-foot, five-bedroom condo that hedge fund manager Daniel S. Loeb bought. The apartment includes a 709-square-foot terrace, five full bathrooms and two half-bathrooms. Loeb reportedly signed an early contract to combine two units back in the fall of 2005. As founder and head of the Third Point hedge fund, Loeb is known for writing letters to companies that he invests in to call for the firing of CEOs. TRD
