NEW YORK CITY — The estate of Leona Helmsley has agreed to sell the Park Lane Hotel on Central Park South in New York City to a group of investors led by the Witkoff Group for $650 million, according to the Wall Street Journal. The Witkoff team plans to convert the bulk of the 46-story property into luxury condominiums. Presently, it is unclear if there are plans to tear down the 370,000-square-foot hotel and build a new tower, or whether the developer would convert the existing hotel into condominiums. The Park Lane hotel was part of the real estate portfolio of Harry Helmsley, who died in 1997. Since the death of Leona Helmsley in 2007, the Helmsley estate has gradually been selling off its remaining properties. CBRE Group began soliciting bidders for the Park Lane this past spring.
