Rumor Mill: Oprah Buying Penthouse at One Hanson?

This is pure rumor at this point, so take it with a grain of salt, but it’s coming in through credible enough sources that we’re gonna run with it. We’re hearing that the Queen of All Media herself, Oprah, is buying the penthouse in the Williamsburg Bank building, aka One Hanson Place. Everyone associated with the project is saying “no comment” but we hear that the word’s been buzzing around the brokerage community in recent weeks. Can any little birdies out there shed any light onto this one? Update: We just heard from the developer (who was unreachable yesterday) and he’s saying this rumor is news to him, so it looks like The Big O is staying put on Lake Shore Drive for the time being.

so 4:14…when she does move in (as i know the person who worked on the project and was told she did indeed buy a place) you will feel like an idiot for being such a negative nancy? or will you admit you were wrong?
Thanks 4:10. I’d like to think that Beyonce (and her handlers) wouldn’t be stupid enough to buy there.
a confirmed rumor.
For the record, Beyonce is not buying a unit in the Meier building, regardless of what the blogs say. It is a rumor.
Maggie Gyllenhall is NOT a legit celebrity. Somehow, because of her bother’s success, one day she wakes up and she’s a “celebrity” for no reason.
Give me a break. . .
I also heard that Bob Keeshan is looking at multiple units at the Forte to combine.
There’s one person w/enough money to pay for the assessments that are down the road for this coop. She could pay for the re-gilding of the dome and clock from petty cash.
Alas I think it highly unlikely that Ms. Oprah would live on Hanson Pl. The location is not convenient to the rounds she needs to make when she’s in town. I think a nice duplex at the Plaza facing Central Park would be more convenient and more her style.
If Oprah is buying, I would guess there is some Magic connection- although I can’t figure out why she would buy it- maybe she’s opening a school. There is no way that she would live in BK- she’s just not down like that.
If Big Ed had banged him, he’d still be walking with a limp!
