An heir to the Jose Cuervo fortune has officially decided to part with his apartment at Manhattan\u2019s 432 Park Avenue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mexican billionaire Juan Beckmann Vidal listed the 84th-floor unit last week for $75 million, though in November he had planned to list it for $90 million before changing course, The Wall Street Journal<\/a> reported at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n Vidal, 85, bought the unit from the developers\u2014Los Angeles-based CIM Group and Harry Macklowe\u2019s Macklowe Properties\u2014in 2017 for about $44.6 million using an LLC<\/a>, records show. Prior to closing, however, Vidal sued the developers, alleging the unit had been damaged by a \u201ccatastrophic flood.\u201d The lawsuit was discontinued a few months later, but it made Vidal one of the first owners at 432 Park Avenue to allege construction defects at the since-troubled Manhattan skyscraper.\u00a0<\/p>\n Since then, Vidal completely renovated the 5,400-square-foot unit over five years, spending more than $10 million, according to the listing with Fredrik Eklund, Joe Wagner, Kyle Lee and Ryan Stenta of Douglas Elliman. They declined to comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n The home\u2019s new interiors are in stark contrast to the standard design of the building\u2019s units, which tend toward a modern minimalist aesthetic typical of New York\u2019s high-end new developments.\u00a0<\/p>\n Instead, Vidal\u2019s apartment is Versailles-inspired, with statement chandeliers and elaborate moldings and cornicing, listing<\/a> photos show. There\u2019s also handcrafted boiserie\u2014a French term for intricately carved wood paneling\u2014and Italian marble featured, according to the listing description. The new interiors are by designer Miles Redd.\u00a0<\/p>\n
