The gay hotelier behind the now-closed Out Hotel in Manhattan, Ian Reisner, is listing his penthouse at 230 Central Park South for $17.95 million.

The 4,500-square-foot duplex has four bedrooms, four bathrooms and two half baths — as well as 50 square feet of outdoor space, all along nearly 100 feet of Central Park frontage. If the 16th-floor condop looks familiar, it’s because it gets a lot of screen time.

It’s been filmed for Showtime’s “Billions”; ABC’s “Madoff,” starring Richard Dreyfuss; “Dreamgirls,” starring Jennifer Hudson; and HBO’s “Vinyl,” with Martin Scorsese directing on location. A 2012 campaign video for Barack Obama featuring Ricky Martin was also filmed in the living room.

Reisner has long been linked to 230 Central Park South; he owns several of its 45 units. In 2016, according to reports, he sold a unit spanning the building’s entire 12th floor for $12.6 million. A year later, he allegedly flipped a triplex there, netting $10.8 million.

This penthouse unit, which hasn’t been on the market before, is a combination of several units. “He really had a lot of vision to combine and buy the units,” says Compass’ Vickey Barron, one of the unit’s brokers.

The building may also sound familiar because, in 2014, gossips said that socialite and songwriter Denise Rich had purchased a nearly $12 million penthouse there, though she actively denied the purchase, saying instead that it was bought by her real estate investor boyfriend Peter Cervinka.

Barron shares the listing with Pacey Barron and Nest Seekers International brokers Ryan Serhant and Chase Landow.
