170 East End Avenue, a soon-to-open condo designed by Madison Avenue Armani boutique veteran Peter Marino, has lured three massive buyers.

According to a source, the contemporary art dealer Dominique Lévy—who set a record for Damien Hirst’s work last year by paying $3.3 million for a lengthwise-sliced sheep in formaldehyde—paid about $12 million for a combined-unit duplex on the eighth floor.

The living room has 21-foot ceiling heights, which, of course, is convenient for canvases, and also for wall-mounted postmodern taxidermy. Ms. Lévy’s gallery, L & M Arts, is about 10 blocks southward, at East 78th Street.

The developer Eric Hadar—who must’ve had funds lying around from the $100 million sale of his stake in Lexington Avenue’s Citigroup Center last year—bought a mirror-image 5,000-square-foot duplex for around the same amount. According to floor plans, he and Ms. Lévy will each have six bedrooms, 1,926-square-foot terraces, plus about 260 extra square feet of balcony space.

But that’s strictly for the hoi polloi when compared with the monarchic 17th-floor spread that Vornado Realty Trust president Michael Fascitelli bought for around $16 million. His 7,000-square-foot space naturally includes a two-hoop basketball court.

Then there’s the 11-foot-long wine storage, the 16-foot-long computer room, the built-in bar and the kitchen suite, which includes a breakfast area and a TV/video room. The master bedroom alone has his-and-her walk-in closets (hers is bigger), his-and-her baths (his is bigger), a balcony and a dressing room.

Orin Wilf, 170 East End Avenue’s developer, is probably flattered by his peers’ purchases. And his buyers are surely happy that there’s a golf simulator downstairs.
