Maybe they need to change the name of One Beacon Court to Once Beacon. The 105-condo Cesar Pelli designed building was hot, hot, hot a few years ago. But now most of the news about the building with the beautiful views and the high end amenities is about who is selling.

Last year disgraced lawyer Marc Drier's four-bedroom unit in the building sold at auction for $8.2 million.

Flavio Briatore's penthouse in the building remains on the market down to $23 million from the $25 million it was listed at when we checked it out as an estate of the day.

Baseball player Bobby Abreu has been trying to sell his One Beacon Court in New York City for a while, chopping the price from $7.9 million to $5.9 million.

Now Cityfile reports on a couple new listings in the building. Joe Roth, the Hollywood producer and former head of Twentieth Century Fox and Walt Disney Studios, has put his four-bedroom apartment up for sale for $21.7 million. He bought the 3,779-square-foot expanse for $13 million in 2006.

An apartment in the building that we first checked out in 2007, baseball player Johnny Damon's former place, is also now back on the market. Damon and his wife sold the apartment three years ago for $8 million and it is now back on the market for $8.9 million. A look at StreetEasy reveals that there are 14 apartments up for sale in the building with a price range of $4.4 million to $23 million.
