Mr. Flom is the founder of Lava Records, and previously served as the chairman of Atlantic Records and the Virgin Records/Capitol Music Group. The buyer was listed as Michael D. Browne.
Nearby, at 115 Central Park West, between 71st and 72nd Streets, the estate of Mr. Lawrence received slightly above the asking price for his three-bedroom, three-bathroom co-op. The closing price was $5.2 million. William Wieting was the buyer.
Mr. Lawrence, a recipient of Tony and Emmy Awards who died at age 96, was a bandleader during the big band era of the ’40s. In later years he became known as the conductor of the Tony Awards orchestra.
In flipping news, a five-story, brick townhouse at 27 East 11th Street in Greenwich Village, reportedly owned by Chipotle’s founder, Steve Ells, sold for $35 million, only eight months after it was purchased for $29.5 million. Maybe the new owner, 27 E 11th St LLC, will stick around longer.
And in late-month closings, an apartment on the 123rd floor of Central Park Tower, at 217 West 57th Street, sold for around $48.5 million to an anonymous buyer using the limited liability company NY Invest. This is somewhat of a discount, considering the 6,700-square-foot unit, with five bedrooms and five and half bathrooms, had an initial price tag of roughly $67.8 million, according to the offering plan.
Also, a trust held in the name of the former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer’s parents, Bernard and Anne Spitzer, sold a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom co-op at 200 Central Park South for $4.2 million. The buyer of this loftlike apartment was Four Pines Capital LLC.
