Schwarzman Gets an Upgrade

Hyperbole has always abounded when describing the best l’il apartment in New York City, at 740 Park Avenue. Built for Mayflower descendent George Brewster, it was then occupied in turn by John D. Rockefeller Jr., Saul Steinberg and now, Steve Schwarzman. But The Business Online has taken real estate inflation to a whole new level with its current description of that apartment, giving it 34 bedrooms (it has 34 rooms) and a last-selling price of $39 million (about $10 million more than Schwarzman paid). Someone should offer author Ian Watson a job selling condos on Baxter Street!
