Edgar Bronfman Jr. relists Park Avenue penthouse for $19.9 million

Edgar Bronfman Jr. and his wife, Clarissa, have relisted their Park Avenue penthouse triplex for $19.9 million, a reduction from a $22 million ask last year.

The five‑bedroom co‑op at 812 Park Ave., between 74th and 75th streets, was purchased by the Bronfmans in 2011 for $15.9 million. The prewar, 14‑story building was designed by J.E.R. Carpenter and the apartment was extensively renovated and reconfigured to display the couple’s art and furnishings.

The apartment opens from a semi‑private elevator landing and features a dramatic steel staircase leading to a double‑height, 28‑foot great room with 23‑foot ceilings, a wood‑burning fireplace and skyline views above Park Avenue. A windowed library with leather‑paneled walls and custom millwork, a formal corner dining room and an industry‑grade chef’s kitchen are on the main entertaining floor. The residence also includes a private wraparound landscaped roof terrace.

The next level contains four bedrooms with ensuite baths, a home office, a large laundry room and abundant storage. A large suite occupies the top floor, with a corner bedroom framed by floor‑to‑ceiling windows and terrace access, a windowed dressing room, multiple custom closets and a spa‑like bathroom.

The renovation was led by interior designer Amy Lau and documented in a coffee‑table book that, according to Architectural Digest, highlights custom rugs, lighting and furniture created by artisans for the space. The Bronfmans’ collection ranges from pre‑Columbian artifacts to Diego Rivera’s 1928 painting "Dance in Tehuantepec," and their furnishings include a yellow sofa by the late designer Vladimir Kagan.

Edgar Bronfman Jr. is a billionaire heir to the Seagram liquor fortune. In 2011 he sold Warner Music Group to Len Blavatnik’s Access Industries for $3.3 billion. Bronfman is executive chair of sports‑streaming company FuboTV and chair of Waverley Capital, an investor in media startups including Roku. Last year he pursued a bid for Paramount, a transaction that ultimately was resolved through a merger involving Skydance Media.

The penthouse has been marketed by Ryan Serhant of Serhant and Donna Strugatz. The listing marks another high‑end Manhattan offering from a well‑known media‑industry figure and represents a price that sits between the Bronfmans’ 2011 purchase price and their earlier asking price.

Photographs accompanying the current listing and coverage of the home emphasize sculptural detailing and the apartment’s volumetric spaces, rooted in the building’s prewar proportions and the later contemporary interventions introduced during the renovation.

The listing follows a broader pattern of high‑end Manhattan properties periodically returning to the market with adjusted pricing. The Bronfmans previously sold a Manhattan townhouse to Len Blavatnik in 2007. No details on the couple’s timeline for a sale of the Park Avenue apartment were provided in the current listing.
