Artist Anish Kapoor is selling his New York apartment in Tribeca for $17.75 million, reports New York Post. At the building’s base sits the artist’s smaller iteration of his famous Cloud Gate, the reflective bean-shaped sculpture on public display in Chicago.
The 57-story-tall 56 Leonard Street apartment for sale by Kapoor is located on the 47th floor and features 3,576-square-feet of living space, including four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms with 12-foot ceilings and windows.
The main bedroom suite features a walk-in closet and a travertine marble bath with heated floors. It also boasts a private elevator landing, three private outdoor spaces, a fireplace, and an open chef’s kitchen.
Additional amenities include an indoor pool, a sundeck, a gym, a screening room, a residents’ lounge, a private dining room, and a children’s playroom.
Its unique shape, recalling the criss-crossed blocks of the game Jenga, was designed by world-renowned architects Herzog & de Meuron. It is the tallest structure in Tribeca.
This is not the first time the Mumbai-born British artist has listed the apartment; it was offered for roughly $18 million last year, under a different brokerage. It is unclear why Kapoor wants to sell, but he purchased the unit directly from the sponsor for roughly $14 million in 2016. The apartment is currently listed with Serhant’s Krista Nickols and Martin Garcia.
In 2021, Kapoor listed his former London residence, one of the central city’s largest homes, for $26 million. This came not long after the artist purchased an 18th-century Venetian palazzo, with plans to convert it into an exhibition space.
