Wall Street Bigwig Purchases Park Ave Co-op for $22 Million

Society couple Pamela Farkas and Andrew Paul have finally found a buyer for their co-op at 820 Park Avenue. The duo placed their property on the market last September, and it looks like Wall Street exec Matthew Cherwin, who was recently named co-head of JPMorgan’s Global Credit, Securitized Products and Public Finance, and his wife, Wendy Cherwin, handed over $22 million for the digs. The interiors of the duplex are definitively Upper East Side, and the residence boasts five bedrooms and 180-feet of Park Avenue frontage.

Exclusive Photos of the Incredible $80K Towhnouse Rental Where Beyonce Shot ‘Halo’

The Soho home where Beyonce shot the video 'Halo' is still renting for $80K a month — putting it out of reach of just about all of us. Though broker photos are aplenty across the nets, 6sqft got to explore the private home last fall on Dwell magazine's City Modern Tour. The 5-story structure, renovated by Asfour Guzy, is touted as one of New York’s most unique properties, and it's no wonder why: This former Con Ed station boasts everything from a huge verdant terrace to 19-foot ceilings, and even a 007-like indoor pool that we bet B took a dip in.

Famous Transforming 420 Sq Ft Apartment Now Selling for $1M

Back in 2009, Graham Hill purchased two apartments at 150 Sullivan Street with the express purpose of showing that people could have everything they need using less stuff and space. Rather than hiring an architect, the eco-entrepreneur, TED-Talk alum, and founder of Treehugger.com, decided to kickstart a competition to find his unique one-size-fits-all design. What turned up was an innovative transforming apartment filled with brilliant space-efficient features like sliding walls, hidden storage, and multi-tasking furniture. Though Hill's 'Life Edited' apartment measures an ultra tiny 420-square-feet, the elegant, high-tech space still manages to pack in all the amenities of a home of more than twice its size.
