Annie Leibovitz sells riverfront West Village studio for $8M

Nov 21, 2024

Iconic photographer Annie Leibovitz has sold her West Village studio at 495 West St. for $8 million, just two years after purchasing it for $6.5 million. The unique 3,200-square-foot space, technically a two-bedroom apartment but styled for work, went into contract after only two months on the market. The transaction, finalized on October 18, involved a shell company as the buyer, while Leibovitz continues to downsize her New York City real estate holdings after facing financial challenges in the past.
