From the NY Post's Gimme Shelter:
--Jewelry designer David Yurman and his wife Sybil are doing the multiple apartments in one building thing, this time paying $3.125 million for a second-floor apartment in their Greenwich Street building. The new unit has two bedrooms and they already own a triplex loft with four bedrooms and a 4,000-square-foot roof terrace.
--One of Jackie Kennedy Onassis' childhood summer homes is on the market for $25 million. Lasata is on 6.4 acres on Further Lane in East Hampton. We like it so much it's our estate of the day later on today.
--Gerald Schwartz, the chairman and CEO of Toronto-based Onex Corp., has paid $18.25 million for an oceanfront home on Nantucket. Sandhill is a circa 1860s, eight-bedroom home. You can see a picture here.
--Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, has bought in at the Plaza.
--A new luxury co-tel will be going up on Fifth Avenue. A 56-story building will be going up at 400 Fifth Ave.

--Naomi Campbell is out cruising for apartments on the Upper East Side, she is looking for a place with separate maid's quarters (it's so much harder to assault them when they are in other rooms).

From the NY Observer's Manhattan Transfers:
