The Hearst Sisters Bunk Up in The Sheffield

The recently married publishing heiress Gillian Hearst-Shaw has closed on a condo in the 41-story Midtown building where her sister Lydia lives. Ms. Shaw paid $1.65 million for a 32nd-floor apartment in the Sheffield building at 322 West 57th Street, city records show. The Sheffield is just a stone's throw from Hearst's corporate headquarters and the offices of Town and Country magazine, where Ms. Hearst-Shaw has worked as an editorial assistant for over a year since her reality show was not picked up.
Max Abelson reported that Ms. Hearst-Shaw's sister, model-socialite Lydia, moved into a $1.49 million, two-bedroom condo on a "high floor" of the Sheffield in February. Meanwhile the Hearst Corporation is the landlord of the entire 109,000-square-foot commercial portion of the building.
