The granddaughter of one of the wealthiest men in Asia has sold her
Upper West Side condominium unit at Trump Place, sources said.
Faye Ho, granddaughter of Stanley Ho, a Hong Kong gambling
tycoon who has been on Forbes' list of the world's richest people, sold
the duplex in The Heritage, at 240 Riverside Boulevard, to Vestar
Capital Partners managing director Roger Holstein, according to sources
and StreetEasy.com. The sale closed Sept. 16 for $6 million, according
to city documents, and was recorded with the city last Wednesday.
Faye, an animal rights activist, holds leadership roles with
numerous Macau-based charitable organizations, including the Macau
Children's Association, Macau Charity Association and Macau's chapter
of the Society for the Protection of Animals.
Her grandfather, Stanley, is sometimes referred to as the "King of
Gambling," noted for his vast holdings in the gaming industry in Macau
and Hong Kong. Stanley is also recognized for his involvement in the
real estate industry -- he's been the president of the Real Estate
Developers Association in Hong Kong for 26 years and he made waves
early last year when he purchased the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Macau
for $205 million.
The 12th- and 14th- floor unit Holstein bought is 2,961 square
feet with a 326-square-foot terrace and unobstructed views of the
Hudson River, said Trevor Moran, President of The Truss Group, who
represented the buyer and is the building's main resident broker. He
declined to comment about the identities of the buyer and seller.
Located between 71st and 72nd streets, the Heritage is comprised of a
15-story lower pavilion and a tower that extends to the 33rd floor. The
four-bedroom, four-bathroom unit is one of three duplexes in the
150-unit building, Moran said.
The seller's brokers, Gabriele Devlin and Lee Summers from Sotheby's
International Realty, did not respond to requests for comment.
Ho and her grandfather were not immediately reachable for comment and
Ho's attorney on the deal, Richard Klee of Kalnick Klee and Green, did
not respond to requests for comment.
