Bruce Willis, nemesis of silver screen bad guys everywhere, is in contract to acquire a six-bedroom co-op at 271 Central Park West that was listed for nearly $17 million.
The 6,000-square-foot duplex features four-and-a-half bathrooms and a library. Wesley Edens, founder of Midtown-based private equity firm Fortress Investment Group and owner of the Milwaukee Bucks, put the apartment on the market in October. The sale price wasn’t disclosed.
Edens told the Wall Street Journal he is selling the unit because his family doesn’t need the space anymore. The apartment was initially two units – one Eden bought in 1993 and the other he bought six or seven years later.
