Construction of the famous building was finished in 1929 by developer James T. Lee, the grandfather of Jackie Kennedy Onassis. One of the building’s first residents was John D. Rockefeller Jr, who bought a duplex: unit 15-16B.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the childhood duplex that Jackie Onassis grew up in was bought for US$25.25 million in 2017, after an initial asking price of US$44 million. Jacob M. Safra, the founder of SPNY Capital LP and the son of Banco Safra founder Moise Yacoub Safra, reportedly bought it.
