Ian Bruce Eichner, a real estate developer behind the Flatiron District’s tallest tower, listed his penthouse apartment on Monday in Manhattan’s West Village for $25 million, according to a source with knowledge of the sale.
Mr. Eichner, 72, paid $7.7 million for the 5,725-square-foot condo in 2010, city records show. He bought it from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, the former child actresses-turned-fashion-designers who are known collectively as the Olsen twins.

City records show the sisters bought the unit in 2004—the year of the building’s completion—for $7.3 million. But reports suggest they never actually lived there.
The five-bedroom penthouse has a private elevator landing, a wood-burning fireplace with an imported French mantel, a sculptural glass wine refrigerator that holds up to 1,000 bottles, an eat-in kitchen and Hudson River views, according to the listing with Douglas Elliman’s Fredrik Eklund and John Gomes, who declined to comment.
Monthly charges for the apartment run to more than $16,000.
The 142-unit building on Morton Street, close to the river, was designed by Costas Kondylis & Partners. Amenities include a doorman, a fitness center, a children’s playroom and an on-site-attended parking garage.
