"Dirty Grandpa" Robert de Niro, according to Curbed, is an NYC property driver, because the name de Niro does not guarantee a sale. An 11,000-square-foot loft that the actor once owned at 165 Perry St., has been suffering on the market since April.
The luxurious pad, which boasts various landscaped terraces, was first priced at $39.8 million, but the price was dropped by $10 million after three months. Curbed's sources revealed that now, the penthouse is priced for even less at $25.5 million.
Celebrities like de Niro have already dominated the New York City market. The following is the biggest celebrity roundup dominating the latest real estate market news:
- Frank Stella. According to The Real Deal, Milan Associates bought two adjacent East Village buildings, one of which was the former dwelling and studio of artist Frank Stella, for $21.5 million. According to the blog, Stella owned the historic property at 128 E. 13th St. from 1978 until 2005.
- Sean "Diddy" Combs. According to Curbed, the name of Sean "Diddy" Combs does not help much either. The rap star's 66th-floor digs in the Park Imperial at 230 W. 56th St., which boasts a sweeping view of Central Park, is on the market with Sotheby's for $6,995,000. According to the report, the amount was a $100,000 price cut from the first listing for the 2,292-square-foot pad, which was originally designed as a three-bed, 3 1⁄2-bath but had been redesigned and reconfigured.
- Chris Hughes. According to The Real Deal, Facebook co-founder and New Republic head Chris Hughes splurged $23.5 million on a West Village townhouse this week. According to the blog, the 4,164-square-foot property in the iconic 157 W. 12th St. building has the ultimate privacy feature in the form of an underground tunnel linking to a carriage house. The three-bedroom, three-bath home, which Hughes bought with husband, Sean Eldridge, also comes with a fireplace, a private library and a modern movie room.
