Closed at $32 million!
The New York Post’s Braden Keil reveals that the late Janet Mosler Coleman’s apartment at 740 Park has closed almost instantaneously for the price first reported here: $32 million. The lucky new owners? David and Tamara Winn. She’s a daughter of uber-rich guy Ira Rennert. A sidelight: When David Ganek bought from Rand Araskog several years back, the building became more than 51% Jewish. When John Thain, now with Merrill Lynch, bought the late Enid Annenberg Haupt’s penthouse, the scales tipped back the other way: advantage gentiles. Now, the Winns have tipped the see-saw back, appropriately enough, by buying what was once the building’s first “Jewish apartment.”

The last sale in the building, of the somewhat larger apartment 4/5A facing Park Avenue and using the front entrance, to David and Tamara Winn, fetched $32 million. [...]
