Notable NYC Neighbors
JULY 24, 2013
Michael Kors peeps Rosie’s pad; SI swimsuit model gives amenity-packed FiDi loft a look; NASCAR legend finds a buyer for 15 CPW home with $30m ask; Norah Jones sells her Cooper Square condo. Plus: Leo’s still looking and prices get precipitous at the city’s trophy towers.
High Street-chic designer and former Project Runway judge Michael Kors was among those showing interest in Rosie O’Donnell’s penthouse duplex at 130 West 12th Street. O’Donnell purchased the four-bedroom condo in the former St. Vincent’s Hospital building less than a year ago for $8.09 million. The 3,200-square-foot duplex with a 429-square-foot terrace, large windows facing the Empire State Building and interiors designed by Cook + Fox is listed at $10.95 million (NYPost).
Sports Illustrated swimsuit model–and Derek Jeter’s girlfriend–Hannah Davis was recently seen checking out a loft at 15 Broad Street. The Philippe Starck-designed condo offers supermodel-and-sports-star-friendly amenities like a gym, a yoga and ballet studio, a basketball court, a pool and a bowling alley in addition to a 5,000-square-foot roof deck. The unit for sale has two bedrooms, 11-foot ceilings and a private entrance and is listed for $1.395 million (NYPost).
The apartment at 15 Central Park West belonging to NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon is in contract after being on the market for two months at an asking price of $30 million. The 3,500-square-foot 3-bedroom apartment on the 7th floor of the Robert A.M. Stern-designed address features Brazilian cherry wood floors and a sushi bar in the living room. Gordon and wife Ingrid Vandebosch bought the apartment for just under $10 million in 2007; no word yet on the final sale price (CurbedNY).
Singer-songwriter Norah Jones recently sold her Cooper Square apartment. Jones bought the 3,227-square-foot combo condo loft conversion in the Carl Fischer Building at 62 Cooper Square with ex-boyfriend Lee Alexander for $2.29 million in 2003. In the years that followed, Jones decamped to a Brooklyn townhouse, raised the ire of the local Landmarks Commission by adding non-landmarked windows and found creative inspiration in her eventual split from Alexander. Her past behind her, Jones sold the East Village property for $6.7 million (CurbedNY)
Big Tickets
Leo DiCaprio has been on the hunt for a NYC home, reportedly popping up at a string of high-priced properties including penthouses in Nolita and SoHo and a $30 million white marble facade townhouse at 45 East 74th Street. The latest possibilities have included a $20 million penthouse in the Sterling Mason condo building at 71 Laight Street and a 7,200-square-foot, five-bedroom penthouse at 250 West Street listed for a titanic $42 million (NYPost).
Johnson & Johnson heiress Libet Johnson collects expensive properties the way some women collect designer handbags, including the Vanderbilt mansion, which she bought for $48 million, and a $10 million Perry Street townhouse. The latest move: She recently sold a 4,489-square-foot penthouse in the sleek Trump International Hotel and Tower at 1 Central Park West for $21.85 million (NYO).
You can always ask: An investor is asking $75 million for the 78th-floor penthouse at the Time Warner Center (pictured). Southerndown, Inc., which purchased the apartment for $37.5 million four years ago, is fishing for a skyscraping per-square-foot or $9,063, exactly twice what they paid for the unit. The listing isn’t the only one in the building with hopes for stratospheric sales action: Another penthouse is listed at $50 million ($10,363 psf), adding the tall towers to the short list of top ticket hopefuls that includes 15 Central Park West (a $95 million listing has gone rental at $125k a month), One Beacon Court (a $115 million ask) and CitySpire ($100 million to buy Steven Klar’s octagonal pad) (NYO).
