Trump Int'l Fixer-Upper: Yours for $28.5 Million
• Back in July, word spread that financially troubled movie producer Vittorio Cecchi Gori's 52nd-floor apartment at the Trump International—a 5,500-square-foot pad that Donald Trump himself once owned—had gone into contract for $18 million, making it "possibly the largest residential foreclosure action ever in Manhattan," according to the Times. It's been six months since then, but the gutted palace in the sky is now back on the market. The penthouse, which will undoubtedly require many millions to whip into shape—or is "a complete blank canvas" in the words of Prudential Douglas Elliman managing director Howard Margolis—can now be yours for $28.5 million.
