There were other noteworthy sales last month. The shoe designer Steve Madden closed on a condominium at a new Midtown East development. The actress Amy Irving sold her Central Park West co-op; and Izvor Zivkovic, a longtime manager of Kanye West, purchased a loft on (yes!) West Street in TriBeCa.
Also, Howard Marks, a founder of the investment firm Oaktree Capital Management, and his wife, Nancy, finally sold their full-floor apartment at the Ritz-Carlton, at 50 Central Park South, for $25 million, half of what they had initially hoped to get for it.

Mr. Lauder acquired the unit from the estate of Ronald P. Stanton, a refugee from Nazi Germany who made a fortune in petrochemicals through his company, Trammo. Mr. Stanton, a noted philanthropist who died last year, had bought the apartment from Archibald Cox Jr., the son of the Watergate prosecutor.
The apartment was extensively renovated, though many original architectural flourishes remain. There are decorative wood paneling and moldings, wood-burning fireplaces, as well as hardwood floors, oversize windows and soaring ceilings throughout.
The home has a long windowed gallery that leads to the entertaining space, which also includes a huge oval library, on the northern end. The bedrooms face south on 81st Street, and include a master suite, which has two marble baths, a sitting room converted from a bedroom with a walk-in closet, and additional closets. There are also staff rooms off the windowed kitchen.
Serena Boardman of Sotheby’s International Realty was the listing broker, while Cathy Franklin of the Corcoran Group represented Mr. Lauder.
The 12-story Italian Renaissance-style building at 998 Fifth — converted from a rental to co-op in 1953, and designated a landmark in 1974 — was designed by McKim, Mead and White. It was developed by James T. Lee, the maternal grandfather of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, the former first lady.
SEVERAL BLOCKS AWAY, at 252 East 57th Street, a new 65-story glass condominium near Second Avenue, Mr. Madden bought a spacious apartment with oversize windows that provide views of Central Park and the East River.
