Buyers Swoon For Andre Kikoski’s Architecture, But Not His Apartment
Andre Kikoski has earned accolades for his dramatic designs, among them the Guggenheim Museum’s new restaurant and Long Island City’s Z Hotel. Unfortunately, it appears that not even the touch of a rising starchitect could do much for his two-bedroom, 2.5-bath apartment at 860 United Nations Plaza.
Ms. Kikoski and wife Kim Donaldson have sold the 27th-floor spread for a mere $1.83 million, which is not particularly impressive considering that they bought it for $1.55 million back in 2005.
