Earlier this month, The Post reported that Ms. Eve Weinstein (ex-wife to mogul Harvey) had sold her renovated 15-room apartment at 88 Central Park West.

[It] had an asking price of $25 million since it was first listed last February. But sources tell us it went to contract for somewhere closer to $23 million.

According to city records filed this morning, though, Mr. DeNiro did even better--his purchase price was actually $20,900,000.

Ms. Weinstein, meanwhile, is happily ensconced in her new full-floor co-op at 1133 Fifth Avenue. And she only paid $10.4 million!

Bargains for everyone.  read more »

Yesterday, the Landmarks Preservation Commission announced the landmarking of the Claremont Theater Building at 3320-3328 Broadway on Harlem, at the southeast corner of 135th Street. The neo-Renaissance building was opened in 1914 to show "photoplays," and was designed by Gaetano Ajello and commissioned by Harvey M. and Arlington C. Hall of Wayside Realty Company.
In the 1920's the building's storefronts were leased out to automobile-product stores, and in 1933 the theater closed and was converted to an auto showroom. Currently, it looks like it's being used for a furniture shop.
Thomaas Edison shot a short film in 1915 featuring the building's entrance (mpg).

When film mogul Harvey Weinstein and his now-estranged wife, Eve Chilton Weinstein, decided to separate in the summer of 2004, there were sure to be some loose ends to tie up.

Last November, the deed to the couple's Central Park West duplex was transferred into Eve's name.

Since Harvey had already relocated downtown to a ritzy Spring Street condo, Eve is now selling the place for $25 million.

The duplex apartment comes with mahogany French doors, a corner library, a great big dining room, and original ceiling moldings.

Not surprisingly, the apartment includes a few nifty features that you don't find in every Central Park West co-op: a 35-mm screening room with twin film projectors, Dolby sound, and an oversized roll-down screen.

The broker, John Sheets, is away on vacation, a representative from Brown Harris Stevens declined to comment on his behalf. Mr. Weinstein declined comment.  read more »
