A collector's dream NYC pad 'sells in a day' for $9M cash

Alexander Zweig, an entrepreneur, collector and angel investor — and a son of the late Wall Street investor Martin Zweig — has found a buyer for his $9 million Tribeca loft, sources told Gimme Shelter exclusively. The all-cash deal is slated to close on Wednesday. 'It [found a buyer] in a day,' a source said of the 62 Beach St. aerie. The home's stylish aesthetic was inspired by the nearby Greenwich Hotel.

It has also served as a stage for Zweig's impressive memorabilia collection. That includes Charlie Sheen's helmet from 'Platoon,' Clint Eastwood's 'Dirty Harry' gun and Arnold Schwarzenegger's shotgun from 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day.' There's also John Belushi's driver's license, which is in one of the apartment's powder rooms, and memorabilia from the film 'Edward Scissorhands.' 15 Arnold Schwarzenegger with his shotgun from 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day.'

Zweig first purchased 6B in 2012 for $2.89 million, followed by 6C in 2013 for $3 million. A six-year renovation to combine the units followed. Advertisement 15 A gracious foyer inside the loft.

Richard Caplan 'It's a really unique space and has some of the most insane pop-culture memorabilia inside — it's like a museum,' said Ryan Serhant of Netflix's 'Owning Manhattan,' who shared the listing with Greg Vladi, also of Serhant. Zweig inherited the collecting gene from his late father Martin, an investor who once predicted the 1987 stock market crash. The elder Zweig paid a then-record $21.5 million for the Pierre Hotel's penthouse in 1999. It was on the market for $125 million when he passed away in 2013, leaving his collection — including Marilyn Monroe's 'Happy Birthday, Mr. President' dress — to Alexander, his brother Zachary and his second wife Barbara. 15 The residence's hidden home office and bookshelf.

There's also an open living/dining area with a built-in wet bar and a chef's kitchen. Design details include three exposures, a pocket door that opens to a windowed home office with built-in storage, and 20 windows facing south and west for sunsets over the Hudson River.

The residence is in a former coffee, tea and spice warehouse, the Fischer Mills Building, which dates to 1860 and is now a full-service condo. The renovation was led by DHD Architecture & Interior Design's Jill Diamant, an architect, and Emilee Pearson, a designer.
