Artist Anish Kapoor Lists Luxurious New York Apartment for Sale
Artist Anish Kapoor, known for his iconic sculptures such as the reflective bean-shaped Cloud Gate in Chicago, has listed his expansive apartment in New York City's "Jenga Tower" (56 Leonard Street in Tribeca) for sale at $17.8 million.
Located on the 47th floor of the 57-story-tall building, designed by world-renowned architects Herzog & de Meuron, this apartment boasts 3,576-square-feet of living space, four bedrooms, and four-and-a-half bathrooms. The main bedroom suite, complete with a walk-in closet, travertine marble bath with heated floors, private elevator landing, three private outdoor spaces, a fireplace, and an open chef's kitchen, is a standout feature.
The building also 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 at 56 Leonard Street directly from the sponsor for roughly $14 million in 2016. The apartment was offered for roughly $18 million last year, under a different brokerage.
While Kapoor's reasons for selling are not explicitly stated, the sale of high-value properties often involves lifestyle changes, market conditions, or portfolio management.
In the past, Kapoor is known to have had a London townhouse, but no clear sale history or listing details are available for that property. In 2021, Kapoor also purchased an 18th-century Venetian palazzo with plans to convert it into an exhibition space.
