Designer Kenneth Cole owns two apartments and needs to peddle his penthouse quickly. He bought the penthouse in 1985 for the four bedroom home with 1,000 square feet of outdoor area, but is asking $16,950,000 for the space for a quick sale. Oh yeah, you can pick up a maid's apartment in the same building if that is a concern.
