Spitzer Enterprises—former governor Eliot Spitzer's real estate business—has sold the Crown Building at 730 Fifth Avenue for an insane $1.78 billion, setting a world record for the highest price ever paid for an office building. According to The Daily News, Spitzer Enterprises and its partner the Winter family sold the property to the imaginatively named last year, but the deal only went through last month. The landmarked building was previously owned by Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos, who sold it in 1991 to Spitzer for less than $100 million. [NYDN; previously]
