TriBeCa triplex sale dents Damon Dash’s debt; Hank Azaria’s loft is for rent; a billionaire’s berth seeks a buyer; a designer’s penthouse changes hands

A second TriBeCa loft formerly owned by formerly high-flying hip-hop label exec Damon Dash was finally sold. The triplex at 79 Laight Street (AKA The Sugar Warehouse) was included in a foreclosure auction this year—with another loft at 25 North Moore Street—and sold in July for $2.85 million, about $300k less than the original auction price (CurbedNY).

A 5-bedroom Harlem townhouse at 30 West 120th Street owned by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was taken out of circulation for $2.65 million, down from the original $3.5 million price listed when it hit the market last year (CurbedNY).

Comedian Hank Azaria is headed for LA to work on a new NBC comedy series but remains in a New York state of mind. He’s renting out his furnished SoHo loft for $16,000 a month in the interim. The apartment on the fifth floor of 84 Mercer Street was previously the home of photographer Cindy Sherman. Cool details include a 44-foot-long atrium (NYObserver).

The Malcolm S.Forbes townhouse at 11 West 12th Street still seeks a buyer; the billionaire bought the home, which has hosted an impressive roster of celebrities and heads of state, in the ’60s. The opulent townhouse hit the market this year at $15.2 million and has subsequently slunk to $13.5 million (CurbedNY).

Writer/lit critic (and long-suffering spouse of poet Robert Lowell) Elizabeth Hardwick used this sunny West Side apartment at 15 West 67th Street as a writing nook until she passed away in 2007. The one-bedroom co-op is on the market for $825k (NYMag).

Designer life: ADAM designer Adam Lippes finally sold the West Village penthouse he’d had on the market since 2007. The painstakingly pimped-out pad at 37 West 12th Street went for $4.465 million after a four-year slide from the original asking price of $7.99 million. The designer paid $2.65 million for it in fat, flippy 2005 (NY Observer).
