The deal finally hit public records yesterday, or at least the sale did—it is not entirely clear Mr. Rodriguez is the buyer. A call to Extell was equally inconclusive. "I don't know," chief counsel Ahuva Genack said. "A lot of people buy in the building, but I would know about it." Adam Modlin, Mr. Rodriguez' broker, declined to comment. [less]
