http://www.observer.com/2010/real-estate/sale-15-cpw When David Bizer paid a cool $5.3 million for his apartment at acclaim-famed 15 Central Park West in December of 2007, he worked for Lehman Brothers, because, well, it still existed. Now, more than two years and one fallen former employer later, Mr. Bizer has sold his high-floor two-bedroom for $7.1 million (he now works at Nomura, a popular Lehman refuge where he occupies the title of Global Head of Fixed Income Securities).
Not sure what you mean. The dude just made 1.8mil in the span of 3 years AND he's still employed.
Living in 15CPW is like driving a flashy car and wearing a Gold Rolex... Just one theory.
Its the Maybach of homes in NYC. Automatic status symbol if you can afford to buy there.
I wish I'd bought at 15CPW from Zeckendorf. That was the last, best flip.
I looked at a unit. Low floor looking over broadway. Seemed to defy common sense to pay millions for 1200 square feet and look at taxis driving down broadway.

I've had two relatives who had fancy addresses, one in London, one in NYC. Both had help from outside sources.
In both cases, it came up with a senior person eventually, and they said something jokingly like "I thought you were stealing or something".

The folks that I know who have maybachs also waste tons on Bling, too.
And many are mortgaged to the hilt.
Yes, for some, its a goal.
For others, its stupidity.
Does the "approval" of others really mean that much to you? (so much so that you'll take MUCH less space, quality, college funds for your kids, etc.)
And for some showing off back-fires when your boss thinks you must be making too much
15 CPW on your resume may send one of the following messages to a prospective employer:
A) F You I hold the cards because I have money and don't need this job
B) I am desperate for this job because my monthly nut is in the stratosphere
C) I really want this job and don't care what it pays because my spouse/partner/mommy/daddy has a shitload of cash. (This is very attractive for not-for-profits).
Then again we all know how successful I've been at reading the minds and motivations of prospective employers.
A Maybach is not a flashy car. It can easily be mistaken for an S Class that costs 1/3 the price.
Wonderful building for those who can afford it.

Yeah, by the kinds of people who can only afford the C class.
