Brother of Harvey Weinstein slashes price on Manhattan duplex

The brother of shamed Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has chopped $3 million off the asking price of his New York apartment.

At the very start of the New Year, Robert Weinstein – who co-founder Miramax alongside his brother – slashed the price of the Central Park-adjacent co-op building on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. This reduced the asking price from $29.5 million to $26.5 million.

Robert Weinstein, 63, the head of The Weinstein Co., bought the 7,000-square-foot apartment for $20 million in 2004, property records show.

The 14-room duplex on the 16th and 17th floors has five bedrooms, six-and-a-half bathrooms, a staff room, wood-burning fireplaces and views of the park. The home is listed with Corcoran brokers Deborah Grubman, David M. Adler and Paul Albano.

The price cut comes just three months after his brother Harvey was forced out of the company and publically shamed amid dozens of allegations of sexual harassment and assault.

A month ago, Mr. Weinstein parted with his Upper West Side townhouse for $15 million, breaking even on the transaction having bought the West 70th Street home for $15 million in 2009.
