Financial journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin, who wrote the bestseller "Too Big to Fail," has unloaded his three-bedroom Upper West Side, Manhattan, apartment for a 40% profit.
Mr. Sorkin, a columnist for The New York Times and a co-creator of the Showtime drama "Billions," and his wife, Pilar Queen, a literary agent, bought the fourth-floor unit on West 79th Street for $2.315 million in 2010, during the housing market’s post-crash doldrums, according to property records.

Seven years and one recovery later, and Mr. Sorkin, 39, has scored a pretty profit off the co-op, which he sold earlier this month for $3.25 million, the records show. The buyers were Evan Rosenberg, a lawyer for a hedge fund, and his wife Sarah Lederman, an interior designer.
The three-bedroom, three-bathroom unit has 10-foot ceilings, an eat-in kitchen and a living room with built-in bookshelves, according to the listing with Brown Harris Stevens.
Noted architect Emery Roth, known for the iconic luxury Beresford building in the same neighborhood, designed the 14-story co-op, built in 1925.
Mr. Sorkin upgraded to pricier new digs a few months ago, when he and his wife bought a sixth-floor unit in a co-op on West 86th Street for $4.25 million, according to property records.
Mr. Sorkin did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
