Is The Apthorp Kaput?

The customarily over-hyped PR machine at the Apthorp has been silent for weeks and now so are the realtors who had been trying to sell apartments there. After the big guns at Howard Rubenstein teased us with vague rumors about Brangelina, Bruce Willis, SJP and Alec Baldwin possibly buying there and none of it ever happened, the embarrassingly unsuccessful hype fizzled. Now even PR-addicted Dolly Lenz and Andy Ratner don't answer their phones and the entire web site at www.theapthorp.com is gone. This doesn't bode well for a condo conversion that has been a disaster from day one.pete k.
