For $65k a month, you can get over a tough breakup in movie star style. For $23k a month, you can sleep in Marc Jacobs’s (former) bedroom. Nick Jonas, however, just wants a place of his own.
Eighteen-year-old Nick Jonas has been on the hunt for a room of his own—in a luxury apartment of his own. The youngest Jonas Brother has been spotted touring a 2,719 square foot two-bedroom residence at 15 Central Park West—onetime home of Denzel Washington, A-Rod and Sting—near Lincoln Center. The unit, priced at $6.85 million, is renting for $26,000 a month. The pop star—who is also starring in an upcoming Broadway show—is reportedly looking to rent (NYPost).
In 2008, Anne Hathaway’s then-boyfriend, shady businessman Raffaello Follieri was sent up the river on charges of money laundering, wire fraud, and conspiracy. Ms. Hathaway washed her hands of the relationship and ensconced herself a $37,000-a-month, 7,750 square foot, 11-room Olympic Tower penthouse with panoramic views of Central Park and perks like a media room with an 8-foot projection screen, a private gym and lots and lots of closets. The young The Devil Wears Prada star decamped for downtown soon afterward. The post-love nest is now available for rent for $65,000 a month (Zillow Blog).
Designer Marc Jacobs has finally moved into the townhouse he has owned for two years in the Robert A.M. Stern—designed Superior Ink condo in the West Village. The runway wonderboy has been renting a 2,062-square-foot penthouse in the Chelsea Mercantile building since 2009—the furnished Chelsea apartment is now for rent for $23,000 a month (NYMag).
He’s not renting: Mayor Mike’s longtime decorator gives us a peek inside his lavish East 79th Street townhouse, which author and shelter mag editor Marian McEvoy describes as “not a budget-deficit look.” (NYTimes)
Art in the house: Noted sculptor Richard Serra and his wife Clara have just added the third floor at 173 Duane Street to their longtime home in that building. Serra already owns at least two floors, one of which he uses as an art studio. The building is a former factory, so it’s understandable that an artist whose medium is often giant slabs of metal would feel at home (NYObserver).
