Artist Anish Kapoor Lists His Tribeca Penthouse for Sale
Artist Anish Kapoor, known for his iconic sculpture "Cloud Gate" ("The Bean") in Chicago, is selling his penthouse at 56 Leonard Street in Tribeca, New York. The apartment, designed by world-renowned architects Herzog & de Meuron, is listed for $17.8 million.
The reasons for Kapoor's decision to sell are not clear from the available sources. However, the apartment is a testament to architectural excellence, boasting 12-foot ceilings, windows, and a spacious living area of 3,576-square-feet.
The main bedroom suite features a walk-in closet, a travertine marble bath with heated floors, a private elevator landing, three private outdoor spaces, a fireplace, and an open chef's kitchen. In total, the apartment includes four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms.
The building, often referred to as the "Jenga Tower" due to its unique shape, is the tallest structure in Tribeca. It offers additional amenities such as an indoor pool, a sundeck, a gym, a screening room, a residents' lounge, a private dining room, and a children's playroom. At the building's base, there is a smaller iteration of Kapoor's famous Cloud Gate sculpture.
Kapoor purchased the apartment directly from the sponsor for roughly $14 million in 2016. It was previously listed for approximately $18 million last year under a different brokerage. The current listing is handled by Serhant's Krista Nickols and Martin Garcia.
Regarding Kapoor's plans for his other residences, no information is available in the provided sources. In 2021, he listed his former London residence, one of the central city's largest homes, for $26 million. Recently, he also purchased an 18th-century Venetian palazzo with plans to convert it into an exhibition space.
