Socialite and founder of the Sotheby’s fashion department Tiffany Dubin bought a $3.4 million, ninth-floor co-op in her building at 29 East 64th Street from venture capitalist Jean Francois Astier, city records show.
This is her third acquisition in the building in nine months. Ms. Dubin’s ex-husband, Louis, transfered ownership of two adjoining fifth-floor co-ops to her last August, after a protracted divorce. We wonder what Ms. Dubin, who is the stepdaughter of former Sotheby’s chairman Alfred Taubman, plans to do with her new place all the way on the ninth floor. Perhaps she needs a quiet space to pen the new book about divorce she is rumored to be writing?
Regardless, it’s sure to be well-decorated. Ms. Dubin has her own vintage furniture boutique at Henri Bendel’s called Lair.
