Bodour Al Qasimi, the founder of the Kalimat Publishing House and number 34 on Forbes’ most powerful Arab women of 2014 list, bought a $14.25 million unit at 15 Central Park West, together with her father Sheikh Sultan A. Alqasimi, according to property records filed with the city Friday.
The pair bought unit 2A in the Robert A.M. Stern-designed building. Nightingale and Orchard LLC is the seller of the unit. The roughly 2,900-square-foot unit last changed hands in October 2008 for $7.6 million. The apartment has three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms.
