Its restrained limestone facade has a three-story rusticated base, quoined corners, and an iron marquee marking the entrance. The 13-story cooperative building contains just 12 large apartments, and its past and present residents include Aerin Lauder Zinterhofer and Annette de la Renta, along with the late Oscar de la Renta, newspaper publisher William T. Dewart, and Chase National Bank chairman Albert H. Wiggin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sales in the building are rare. The most recent trade came in 2020, when a full-floor apartment sold for $12 million to hedge fund manager Soly Vahabzadeh. Now another full-floor residence, on the seventh floor, has come to market for $14 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">More from Robb Report<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"660 Park Avenue 7th Floor New York City\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/robb_report_967\/0c78a42a50142a2c6de7985aafbbad84.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The living and dining rooms open off the entrance gallery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Spanning nine rooms in about 4,700 square feet, the apartment &#8220;unfolds with a sense of quiet grandeur, defined by its gracious proportions, dazzling light and superb layout,&#8221; according to <a data-ylk=\"slk:the listing;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/christiesrealestateny.com\/properties\/660-park-avenue-7thfloor-new-york-city-ny-us-10021-rls20114125\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">the listing<\/a>, held by Wendy Greenbaum and Maria Carreras Kourepenos of Christie&#8217;s International Real Estate New York.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a data-ylk=\"slk:RELATED:;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/robbreport.com\/shelter\/celebrity-homes\/bennett-lebow-condo-new-york-manhattan-1238192388\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">RELATED:<\/a><a data-ylk=\"slk:A 64th-Floor Aerie at N.Y.C.&#039;s 432 Park Avenue Lists for $90 Million;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/robbreport.com\/shelter\/celebrity-homes\/bennett-lebow-condo-new-york-manhattan-1238192388\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"> A 64th-Floor Aerie at N.Y.C.&#8217;s 432 Park Avenue Lists for $90 Million<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Extending 90 feet along Park Avenue, the residence has the generous proportions of a private home, with 10-foot ceilings, expansive windows, and a 25-foot entrance gallery leading from the private elevator landing into the main entertaining spaces.
