91 Central Park West penthouse, view from the terrace
T-Mobile CEO John Legere is selling his luxury New York City penthouse, located in the exclusive Central Park West neighborhood, for nearly $18 million.
The penthouse, part of the 16-story 91 Central Park West building, was recently listed by Compass Real Estate
Legere appears to have struggled to find a buyer for the palatial apartment, and the price tag reflects a hot luxury market that's showing signs of cooling off. In February, the Wall Street Journal reported that the penthouse was listed for $22 million, and the current asking price of $17.96 million is almost exactly what Legere paid for it back in 2015. The apartment once fetched a price tag of $27.5 million.
