The penthouse at 224 Mulberry Street has sold for $21 million, Curbed reports. Stephen Zide, a senior advisor at Bain Capital, is the new owner of the 5,646-square-foot four-bedroom duplex, which is one of six units throughout the condo’s eight floors.

Sales of the two- to five-bedroom units are expected to launch in the spring, with occupancy slated for January 2018.

Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev’s twenty-something daughter, Ekaterina Rybolovleva, is going to sell her penthouse at 15 Central Park West, says the Post.

It hasn’t officially hit the market yet, so it’s not yet clear how much the penthouse will go for.
It looks like Queens will not be hosting an East Coast Coachella, at least not if the Parks Department has anything to say about it—they have rejected proposals and permits by AEG, the concert promoter behind the hipster-beloved California event, to host the multiday music festivals at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, reports the Daily News. For those who might be upset by this news, not to worry—AEG has said they are now planning on holding the three-day event at Randall’s Island next July.
