A one-bedroom apartment in New York City's iconic Ritz-Carlton building just sold for about $20 million - just over half of its original asking price, Jennifer Gould reported for The New York Post.
The residence, which hit the market for $39.5 million in December 2018, was sold by Sidney Kimmel, a movie producer worth an estimated $1.3 billion, according to Forbes.
Kimmel and his wife bought the apartment in 2001 for $22.3 million, according to Curbed, and commissioned architect Thierry Despont to redesign the space, which includes a 2,000-square-foot master suite, two terraces, two elegant dressing rooms, a full gym, and two onyx and marble bathrooms. It's one of 11 residences in the Ritz-Carlton across the street from Central Park.
The listing brokers were Steven Cohen, Timothy Malone, and James Lee Wall of Douglas Elliman, although Corcoran held an earlier listing.
Kimmel made his fortune in retail by founding Jones Group, an apparel company, that went on to sell brands including Stuart Weitzman and Nine West. More recently, he founded SK Global, an entertainment company, through which he was a producer for movies including the 2018 hit film "Crazy Rich Asians" along with "Moneyball" and "The Kite Runner."
