A plush penthouse in New York City’s Tribeca neighborhood rented by The Weeknd is now available to buy, the Real Deal reported. That is, if you have a spare $27.5 million.
The building is a former a bookbindery built in 1884 by architect Charles Haight, which has been converted into high-end condos, including 45 loft-style homes and eight penthouses. Metroloft and Cetra Ruddy Architects worked together on the conversion, which involved refreshing the facade and updating the interiors.
Safe haven for celebs
The original character of the property was preserved, and plenty of luxury amenities were added along the way. For celebs, a big incentive comes in the claims that the building is “paparazzi proof.”
Privacy perks include a drive-in, drive-out garage with valet service, as well as a second lobby for residents to take private elevators.
Celebs including Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, Justin Timberlake,and Jessica Biel, and Jake Gyllenhaal have all reportedly snapped up condos in the private building.
A penthouse with a rooftop pool reportedly owned by Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton earned the title of most expensive new listing when it came on the market for $57 million last year. It’s still available, for a discounted $52 million.
The Weeknd had been renting the triplex since 2018 for $60,000 a month.
