Celebrity Real Estate: Back on the Market at Double the Price

Celebrity Manhattan Real Estate

A pair of celebrity real estate properties are back on the market, and both have undergone major renovations- and major price changes.

173 Perry Street

Financier Gilbert Lamphere has put his #PH-N duplex on the market for $15.9 million. According to Curbed, it is listed as “architect ready” penthouse. It turns out that he purchased the duplex from Martha Stewart for $6.65 million in 2004. Since then he has tried to sell it as a triplex in combination with his #13N unit, first for $25 million, then $21.5 million. When neither price found a buyer he pulled the listing.

The Dakota

Filmmaker Albert Maysles’ former apartment at the Dakota sold in 2005 for just over $3 million, and it, too, is back on the market. Maysles left the building during the creative class exodus and selling to what Curbed calls “your average rich guy.” Now, that average rich guy is trying to more than double his money, listing the apartment at $7.65 million, more than double the purchase price after putting the property through a massive renovation. The building’s co-op board turned down Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas last time it was on the market- will they be ready to admit the famously rich alongside the “average rich guy” this time?
