Greek Businessman Sells Former Rockefeller Townhouse for $16M

A townhouse once owned by a fourth-generation Rockefeller has changed hands again.

George Logothetis, the founder and executive chairman of international holding company Libra Group, sold the home at 13 East 94th Street for $15.5 million, according to public records.

Logothetis bought the home for $12.5 million in 2011 from an entity tied to Renee and Mark Rockefeller, the great-grandson of Standard Oil founder John D. Rockefeller.

Sotheby’s International Realty’s Serena Boardman, who represented the previous seller in 2011, had the listing. The home initially hit the market in December 2024, asking $19.5 million before Boardman dropped the price to $17.5 million two months later.

The sale is the latest Gilded Age-era townhouse to sell after a price cut. A home at 973 Fifth Avenue sold for $46 million in May after initially asking $80 million in 2021, and the Woolworth Mansion closed for $38 million after seeking as much as $90 million over a decade ago (more recently, the home sought $50 million).

Spanning 6,820 square feet, the Carnegie Hill home features six bedrooms and four full bathrooms.

The renovated home has a basement gym and wine storage, a fully-terraced back garden and wood- and gas-burning fireplaces. The third floor has a bedroom and a south-facing wood-paneled library, and the primary suite on the floor above comes with a sitting room, dressing room and bathroom with a shower and soaking tub.

The top floor has four additional bedrooms, one of which has a terrace, and a large skylight.

Logothetis founded Libra out of his father’s shipping company and eventually diversified its holdings to encompass a slew of other industries including aerospace, hospitality and real estate. The company has a strategic interest in the luxury hotel brand Auberge Resort Collections after Grace Hotels merged with Auberge in 2018, according to the company’s website.

Logothetis and his wife, Nitzia, previously owned a condo at the prestigious 15 Central Park West, which they sold for $24 million in 2011.
