As Oshrat Carmiel first reported for Bloomberg, Cohen's 9,000-square-foot duplex at 151 East 58th Street went into contract last week, according to an Olshan Realty market report. The sale price was not disclosed, but the penthouse was most recently listed for $29.5 million. Olshan Realty did not immediately respond to a request from Insider for more details on the sale.
The penthouse sits on the 51st and 52nd floors of One Beacon Court, a 54-story luxury condominium tower that's part of the Bloomberg Tower complex, according to StreetEasy. The five-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom condo has a 2,000-square-foot master suite and 24-foot ceilings in the living room, according to the listing. At 700 feet above the city, the duplex offers views of Central Park and both the East and Hudson rivers. Cohen bought the penthouse in 2005 for $24 million, per Bloomberg.
In 2019, he sold his triplex condo in the West Village's Abingdon building for $30 million. According to Olshan Realty's report, Cohen is in the process of building another home in Greenwich Village. A spokesperson for the hedge-fund CEO did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment for this story.
Cohen has long been a fixture in the New York finance world. He founded the SAC Capital hedge fund in 1992 and ran it for years until the firm was busted for insider trading in 2013. As chairman and CEO of Point72 Asset Management, he oversees more than $20 billion in assets.
