The earlier plan for the site was taller and more distinctive ( I have a sketch somewhere ), but in the end, it was not to be.

Here It Is: One Beacon Court's New $115 Million Listing

Can One Beacon Court—king of the flip, but otherwise a somewhat boring Midtown building beloved by business-world billionaires—sell for $115 million an apartment that most recently sold for around $24 million? We're about to find out!

Hedge funder Steven Cohen of SAC Capital Advisors has, as promised, formally listed his One Beacon pad, the building's only duplex, for that whopping $115M price tag. The apartment received a Gwathmey Siegel renovation that leaves us a little cold, though Cohen's odd art collection (minus the head made of frozen blood, which is maybe a little much for a listing pic) enlivens things a bit.
