Portman Finds a Buyer, Plaza Sellers Don't
♦ Natalie Portman has landed a buyer for the three-bedroom apartment at 165 Charles Street that she listed at $6.55 million this summer. [NYP]
♦ The situation at the Plaza is getting worse: Esprit exec Jurgen Friedrich has pulled his fifth-floor spread off the market just a day after listing it for $55 million, which means at least six units at the Plaza have now been taken off the market without a buyer in the past two months. [NYP]
♦ Alson Capital analyst Greg Lyss and his wife Jennifer paid $4.63 million for two fifth-floor units at 190 Riverside Drive. [Cityfile]
♦ Financier Martin Zweig has taken his penthouse at the Pierre off the market, nearly four years after first listing it for $70 million. [NYP]
♦ The price of Leona Helmsley's massive, 40-acre Dunnellen Hall estate in Greenwich has been slashed from from $125 million to (just!) $95 million. [NYP, Christie's]
