45 East 9th Street, #41 and stars who made moves in NYC real estate last month
At the end of May 2021, the Time Warner Center was officially renamed Deutsche Bank Center in honor of its new anchor tenant, which is leasing over 1 million square feet of office space in the building. On lower levels, the Shops at Columbus Circle welcomed family-friendly experience CAMP and Parisian-inspired cafe Tartinery to the ranks of its shopping and dining. What has not changed, though, is the twin-towered building’s reputation of attracting high-profile residents to the condo component through its prime location, attentive staff, and luxurious amenities. Notable owners past and present include developer Stephen Ross, chef/television host Anthony Bourdain, political cartoonist Ranan Lurie, athlete Tom Brady, model Gisele Bundchen, and musicians Jay-Z, Josh Groban, and Ricky Martin.
The Deutsche Bank Center homes of Messrs. Ross, Bourdain, and Lurie were among the New York City listings linked to celebrities in June 2021. Some generated headlines in gossip and real estate trades alike, while others took place further under the radar. We take a look at apartments and townhouses listed by celebrities and notable purchases alike.

When Hudson Yards first opened, even one of its developers, Related CEO Stephen Ross, wasn’t immune to the allure of the new - he announced plans for him and his wife, jewelry designer Kara Ross, to move into a penthouse in one of the buildings. In preparation, the couple listed their penthouse at Deutsche Bank Center for $75 million. The penthouse looks out on spectacular views, and was designed by AD100 designer Tony Ingrao with luxurious finishes and high-end appliances. However, nearby buildings like 220 Central Park South, Central Park Tower, and 15 Central Park West have stolen the spotlight in recent years, and the penthouse's price has been reduced by 21 percent.
From the listing:
This extraordinary penthouse residence, the top floor of the South Tower at the Time Warner Center, is being offered for sale for the first time. The level of custom finishes throughout is unparalleled, beginning with the private elevator entrance’s inlaid stone floors and continuing into the dramatic 42’ long living room with floor to ceiling windows overlooking Central Park, dual fireplaces, doors and flooring made of Bubinga wood, and beams and moldings of Padouk wood. Off the living room is a handsome wood-paneled corner den with fireplace. Beside the den is a dramatic 22’ dining room with beautiful marble floors, textured skin walls and far-reaching views of the City and Central Park.

The Esprit store on Fifth Avenue closed in 2012, and the apparel company’s former head of European operations is also departing New York: Juergen Friedrich and his wife, Anke Beck-Friedrich, found a buyer for their apartment at The Plaza, which was also known as the Astor Suite. It hosted the likes of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, John F. Kennedy, and John Jacob Astor in its days as a hotel, and Mr. Friedrich and Ms. Beck-Friedrich embarked on a multi-million dollar renovation. But buyers were not quickly moved - the New York Post reports that it entered contract in a significant discount from its original listing price of $55 million, and below the $25.49 million the couple paid for it in 2007.
