Billionaire hedge fund manager of Millennium Management, Israel Englander, has acquired the official residence of the French Ambassador to the United Nations in New York for $70 million — almost 50 percent more than the property’s initial listing of $48 million.
The sale equals the previous record of $70 million for a co-op in New York made when Nassef Sawiris acquired the 960 Fifth Ave. penthouse that was previously owned by the late Edgar Bronfman.
Douglas Elliman broker Victoria Shtainer (who was not involved in the sale) said Englander got a bargain.
“The square footage plus the cache that he created by buying in one of the most prestigious buildings in NY is more than value,ˮ said Shtainer.
“This opportunity comes up once in a lifetime, and he grabbed it.ˮ
