Exclusive | NYC Billionaires Row tower where its raining chunks of concrete losing value fast: Its too dangerous

As drones circle the 1,396-foot tower and repair work begins at 432 Park Avenue, the 94th floor skypad at the beleaguered building has sold for $22 million, Gimme Shelter has learned — a stunning comedown from its original $33 million ask two years ago, and a $3.75 million gut-punch from the $25.75 million price it went into contract at earlier this month.The seller is a trust linked to the late teen science prodigy turned philanthropist Roy T.Eddleman, founder of Spectrum Labs, who paid $31.5 million for the half-floor spread in 2019.
