Taylor Swift is not only an 11-time Grammy winning singer-songwriter and iconic popstar but also a surprising real estate investor. The acclaimed American artist has spent $50 million on a single cobblestoned street in the Tribeca neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, New York. Beside her $18 million townhome at 153 Franklin St., she also owns three units at 155 Franklin St. totaling near $30 million. In 2014, Swift purchased an $19.95 million penthouse duplex at 155 Franklin St. from “Lord of the Rings” director Peter Jackson. Later on, she purchased another $9.75 million unit in the same building.

Other notable residents of the charming brick building include Orlando Bloom, comedian Aziz Ansari, former New York Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh, and Steven Soderbergh. Now another unit, on the fourth floor of 155 Franklin, has sold for $9.99 million. While the space was intended to serve as a rental, the buyer reportedly fell in love with the unit and purchased it on the spot crowning them the title of Taylor’s swift’s new neighbor.

The classic 19th-century building formerly served as the Sugarloaf Warehouse before its conversion into a 6.5 story residential space. Spanning 3,532 square feet, the newly purchased Tribeca unit features four bedrooms and three baths. The marvelous great room highlights corner exposure, a woodburning fireplace, and oversized windows for plentiful natural lighting. The open chef’s kitchen is equipped with a quaint breakfast bar. The luxurious primary bathroom encapsulates a spa like atmosphere and offers a dressing room and private seating area. Decorative elements of the home consists of classic loft features such as cast-iron columns, exposed brick, and wood-beamed ceilings.

Kirsten Jordan of Douglas Elliman, a star of “Million Dollar Listing New York,” as well as Karishma Sani of Douglas Elliman held the listing for this property.

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend

In January of 2016, the celebrity couple purchased their Beverly Hills estate for $14.1 million. The property had previously been home to singer and pop culture icon Rihanna. After several years of residence, Legend and Teigen listed the California abode on the market for a whopping $23.95 million in August of last year. When the steep asking price failed to attract prospective buyers, the cost was reduced to $17.7 million. Roughly a week after its initial listing, a deal had been proposed but ultimately fell through. This reportedly caused the marketing momentum for this property to come to a halt. Recently though, an offer of $16.8 million was made and the residence was finally sold, although at $7.15 million below its initial asking price. The buyer is a private-equity executive but wishes to remain anonymous. Marshall Peck of Douglas Elliman represented the listing for this property.

Located in beautiful Beverly Hills, California, Legend and Teigen’s former residence spans 8,500 square feet and includes seven bedrooms. The home’s structural and interior design emulates Chrissy’s Southeast Asian culture with decorative elements of teak wood detailing and a hand-carved wood ceiling imported from Thailand. The celebrity duo redesigned the home and revamped the kitchen to include professional level equipment for Chrissy who is a cookbook author. Upstairs, the primary bedroom features a brass-and-concrete fireplace, balcony, beauty room, and designer closets which the listing agent describes as “evocative of a Chanel showroom.” Stepping outside, the exterior grounds of the home offer a heated saltwater pool, Jacuzzi, wood-burning oven, and pergola.

With two of three real estate deals secured in the past year, Kelly Clarkson has been busy purchasing and selling homes. She recently bid farewell to her Hendersonville, Tennessee residence for $6.3 million after four years on the market and multiple price cuts. She concurrently is still looking to part ways with her modern farmhouse in Encino, California at an asking price of almost $9 million. Most recently, though, the popstar purchased a colonial style home in Toluca Lake. This property was last sold for $4.9 million in 2018 before being listed on the market in 2020 at $5.6 million. In the months following, the property’s steep asking price remained steady until recently when Clarkson purchased it at a slightly reduced price of $5.4 million. The listing notes this home as a “rare offering” in one of Los Angeles’ “most discreet neighborhoods.”

Clarkson’s newfound property in Toluca Lake spans 5,000 square feet and rests on an acre of picturesque land. Built in 1936, the colonial style home includes five bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Later renovated in 1985, the estate includes a main house and guesthouse. Entering through the motor court, the primary home opens to a grand center hall. Stemming off the center hall, the home presents a great room, dining room with covered terrace, living room, entertainment rooms, and library all with fireplaces. The open chef’s kitchen is equipped with stainless-steel appliances, marble counters, and brick flooring. The octagonal glassed in breakfast room sits adjacent to the kitchen and offers plentiful sunlight. Upstairs, the master suite features a fireplace, midnight kitchen, office, master bathroom, and two walk-in closets. Through a set of French doors, the exterior space opens to a landscaped backyard with two lawns, tennis court, pavilion, pool, and spa. The property also offers a guesthouse equipped with a full kitchen and bathroom.

In 2019, Djokovic purchased the lavish unit at Eighty-Seven Park in North Beach. Although his purchase was prior to the completion of the property in late 2019, he acquired the space at $5.8 million from the developer, an affiliate of David Martin’s Terra. In February of this year, the tennis pro listed his opulent home on the market for $6,199,000. Several months later, Djokovic’s Universe Collins Investment LLC sold the property at a slightly reduced final price of $6 million. The buyer has not been revealed.

The grand condominium building was designed by award-winning architect Renzo Piano, Rena Dumas Architecture Intérieure, and WEST 8 Urban Design & Landscape Architecture. Miami Developer David Martin of Terra Group completed the 66-unit, 18-story oceanfront tower at 8701 Collins Avenue in North Beach in November of 2019. The glass structure is uniquely shaped as an elliptical and offers picturesque views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Djokovic’s former residence in unit 901 of the glamorous condominium spans 2,233 square feet of living space and includes three-bedrooms and three-and-a-half-bathrooms. The interior highlights an open floor plan with walls of glass, 10-foot ceilings, and a 1,715-square-foot wraparound terrace. The minimalist style kitchen is equipped with ultramodern appliances, natural stone countertops, and an island with bar seating. The dining area sits adjacent to the kitchen and features a sliding glass door leading to the terrace. The master suite also includes access to the terrace as well as an ensuite bath with a stand-alone tub, glass shower, and dual vanities. The building offers a private, gated park with botanical exhibition. Other luxe amenities consist of a spa, fitness center, two oceanfront pools, cabanas, restaurant, and wine bar.

"Miami has become a true global city, drawing in a high concentration of international buyers and travelers, as well as those domestically predominantly from the Northeast, Midwest, and California," said Ryan Shear, Managing Partner of PMG. "Waldorf Astoria's rich history and heritage combined with Miami's flare has evoked an overwhelmingly enthusiastic response from a new generation of luxury consumers, as well as generational Waldorf brand loyalists around the world."

A total of 360 residences, with an additional 205 guestrooms and suites in the five-star hotel, will be housed in the building.

The residences start at $1 million.

Concept designer Carlos Ott, now in his fifth collaboration with PMG, designed the building to have nine spiraling offset glass cubes that will have a clear and lasting impact on Downtown Miami's famed boulevard.

California-based interior design firm BAMO was brought in by the developers to complete Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami's stellar team.

Ott said, "The unique nature of this project largely comes from not only creating an iconic building, but a distinguished sculpture that would permanently alter Miami's skyline with height and design never seen before."

In his role since 2013, Parker has grown Douglas Elliman's presence in markets from Miami to Jupiter, to Palm Beach and St. Petersburg. They have a total of 21 offices and more than 1,100 agents. Under Parker's leadership, Douglas Elliman Florida had a record year in 2018 with $4.7 billion in total sales volume, which was up 30% over the prior year. Parker has been a key figure in the growth of the brand, which is now represented in luxury real estate markets in 60 countries and six continents through its partnership with London-based Knight-Frank Residential.

Watch the full video below

The interview was hosted by Haute Living's Seth Semilof. Parker began his remarks by giving praises to the medical community and first responders that have been hard at work.

On the interaction with banks, while those are working on the Small Business Administration rollouts, he said "I've spoken with a number of banks. Lenders have reached out to me. The rates being as low as they are, I feel confident we will see a strong financial market. Unlike the last recession, lenders are much more cautious about lending. The banks are in the business of providing financing, and they will get back to that."

"Think of this like any slow period," he said about advice he and his leadership team give to their agents. "In our business, it's not uncommon for an agent to have no business. It's important we focus on goals. Make a plan for when this passes. Work on your database. Distinguish new and old clients. Request reviews from clients. Make five calls, send five emails, five thank-you notes, five text messages every day. Communicate with your clients. See how they and their families are feeling. If possible, spend time with your family. Take an online course you did not have time to before. And connect with agents in other markets."

"This is going to be a time that presents a lot of pent-up demand," he said about the post-quarantine market. "We launched a project in West Palm Beach last month. Things are going to be delayed, but we are working on pre-development."

He also answered questions submitted by viewers during the live broadcast. On a question about relocations to South Florida from other major markets, submitted by One Thousand Museum developer Louis Birdman, Parker said, "We saw a surge of interest in rentals at the beginning (of quarantine times). Now, those people that were borderline retirement are saying, 'Let's do it now'. We will see more people moving from California and New York moving here full-time. I think that New York, one of the strongest and most important cities in the world, will bounce back out of this pandemic." Parker took the opportunity to congratulate Birdman on the recent purchase of a One Thousand Museum penthouse by David Beckham.

The Summit had already featured two other, separate panels with a “who’s who” in the real estate market: developers, and international brokers. The local brokers brought it home to a successful and informative talk.

Phil Gutman, Lourdes Alatriste, Crista Ryan, Christian Martinez, Sebastian Tettamanti, Maria Eugenia Alvarez Vitale, Steve Solomon

The panelists joined Moderator Alex Vidal, President of RelatedISG International Realty in a capacity-filled event space within the luxurious Residences by Armani/Casa (18975 Collins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach, Florida), developed by Dezer Development.

They spoke about the current state of the real estate market in Miami-Dade and close communities in Broward and Palm Beach counties that are a quick drive up I-95 and enjoy the same South Florida weather yearlong. Other topics included: What makes Miami and South Florida such an active destination for many around the country and the world, contrasts between the renting and buying markets, the ins and outs of searching and asking for proof of funds from potential buyers, the impact of brand names on a project, and more.

When asked about the state of the market, Maria Eugenia Alvarez Vitale, Head of Sales of G&G Business Developments, said, “The market is good.” She is currently focused on sales of Aston Martin Residences in Downtown Miami, an area that she has gotten to know even more through her involvement with the British carmaker’s namesake building. "We are over 50% sold in Aston Martin Residences. The downtown area is booming," she added.

Phil Gutman, President of Brown Harris Miami, opined from the brokerage point of view, comparing the high- and middle-priced homes in the luxury market. “The upper part of the market has been doing well; the middle not so much.”

Palm Beach County real estate expert Steve Solomon, Senior Director of Luxury Sales at Douglas Elliman Real Estate based in Boca Raton, said, "In Boca Raton and Delray Beach, the market is very good. There are many buyers in the market. It's an active season for the $1-3 million range."

Vidal asked, “Besides the weather and tax incentives, what drives people to move to Miami?” Crista Ryan answered, "The wonderful security. We ride our bicycles and feel safe in our communities." She is based in Palm Beach County, where she acts as President of Tina Fanjul Associates. New York native Gutman added, “The quality of life. I grew up walking NY's streets, hearing taxis screech on the road. Here it's more laid back, but we have a lot of companies' headquarters in the area."

Participating as part of the “home team”, Senior Vice President of Dezer Development Sebastian Tettamanti spoke about renting versus buying. "The rental market is very active. The buyer is taking a bit longer,” he said. “Now that there is so much product, agents take clients to more locations. However, the product is moving and we are making sales."

Christian Martinez, Regional Vice President of Florida at Compass, said, "Higher listings take longer, but we see them moving. It also depends on the market. Certainly in Miami, Coral Gables and Coconut Grove have an active market” as he remarked on famous sections of the Greater Miami Area. He added, “Overall, New York money continues to flow into Broward and Palm Beach counties."

Partner and Private Office Advisor of Engel & Völkers Miami Lourdes Alatriste emphasized how members of the luxury real estate market need to research potential buyers for proof of funds. “At that level of luxury properties, you should know who they are."

Fox Business Network Anchor Cheryl Casone was present with her FBN:AM film crew to cover the Summit.

Once the panel ended, Haute Living’s Seth Semilof closed the day by thanking all panelists, Vidal, those in attendance and Residences by Armani/Casa for what was the real estate event of the season.

Each was asked and spoke of their success by Moderator Alex Vidal, President of RelatedISG International Realty. Most importantly for the industry insiders, brokers and agents in attendance that filled the event space to capacity, the panelists gave their tips on how to market and engage higher-priced listings and clients that come with it.

Queen of New York real estate Dolly Lenz emphasized how important it is to know and relate to a high net worth client, saying, "Read The Wall Street Journal. Know what's going on in politics; in business; where the pitfalls are, so you can share that with them. I think that's key." Her daughter, Jenny Lenz, joined her mother four years ago at Dolly Lenz Real Estate, learning about the best from the best, and brought that knowledge into the panel.

Cody Vichinsky, Founding Partner at Bespoke Real Estate, focuses his company on $10+ million listings only with an in-house team of agents and staff that tailor their listings' marketing, such as Burnt Point in The Hamptons. "We look at the market very focused in the high luxury market. We have no independent agents, so our model is entirely different from a conventional brokerage business. It's more dynamic."

Olivia Hsu Decker, Co-owner of Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty, which encompasses over two dozen offices in the San Francisco Bay Area, hit the target as she described the luxury real estate world. "Our business is a people business," she said.

Jay Parker, CEO of Douglas Elliman Florida Brokerage, addressed the luxury market in Miami compared to other cosmopolitan cities. "You look at luxury (real estate) in other cities compared to Miami and you find that our price points (in Miami) are pretty attractive".

Michael Goldstein, President of The Trump Group, highlighted the migration to South Florida from the north as he oversees sales of The Estates at Acqualina. " 75% of our business is coming from New York," he said.

Ben Bacal, a leader in the Los Angeles real estate and creator of the Rila app, gave his expertise on the LA market. "Since 2017-2018, properties in Hillcrest have gone down in price to where they need to be. We see an uptick in international buyers. I want to teach my agents to be powerhouses in each of their market and become power agents in those areas. "

One of New York’s most successful brokers of apartments and townhouses, Richard Steinberg held nothing back as he compared and contrasted the buyers and sellers in the lower-priced and higher-priced markets. "Every seller thinks they charge too little. Every buyer thinks they pay too much,” he said. “But they buy it because they want it. My advice to people (brokers) is to go for the big stuff because it's much harder to sell the small stuff," encouraging the live audience and those that watched the live stream on Instagram to reach higher.

Sue Nickason, based in the Cayman Islands and Vice President of Marketing and Sales at Dart Real Estate, had a unique insight on the small island “tax haven”. "Our sweet spot is beach, beach, beach,” she said. “We have a brokerage that did the most sales in the Cayman Islands last year, just shy of $100 million."

On the influence of technology in the luxury real estate market, Dolly Lenz said, "I think it's playing a small role. I find it to be hyped at the moment. In five years, applications will really change how we do business."

Mary Ann Osborn, Leading Broker at Century City, followed on that, "The older people come in through signage on the property and require you to hand-hold them through the process," about the extra personal touch that comes when selling luxury real estate, particularly to people that are not as engaged with technology as younger generations.

A long round of applause was given to the panelists at the end, many who had traveled from far to participate in the Summit.

These are but a handful of the jaw-dropping highlights that define Penthouse II at 57 Ocean, which has just sold for $10.9 million to New York resident Chuck Roberts.

Roberts, who is the Managing Director/Investment with Stifel, The CR Wealth Management Group, was represented by Dina Panchernikov and Ilya Panchernikov with Douglas Elliman.

For Roberts, the draw of 57 Ocean -- an internationally lauded haven on Miami Beach’s Millionaire’s Row, Greater Miami’s most elegant stretch of beachfront on Collins Avenue -- was undeniable, having already been singled-out by buyers worldwide for its Blue Health-oriented lifestyle and ocean-inspired amenities.

“I love this location and being able to live in a brand-new condominium on the Atlantic with so many amenities that are geared toward building a healthier lifestyle, including the calming effect of the ocean and daily strolls along the beach,” said Roberts. “This penthouse offers the best of both worlds as it’s going to have unobstructed views of the water on one side, and the city on the other. The neighborhood is also excellent. It’s more tranquil and family-friendly as it’s primarily comprised of residents versus tourists, yet I’m just a five-minute drive from South Beach.”

“I am honored to represent such a significant sale in one of Miami’s most high-profile addresses,” said Dina Goldentayer Panchernikov. “We know our client will be very happy to call 57 Ocean home.”

Overlooking 220 feet of rare unspoiled waterfront, Penthouse II boasts 5,205 square feet of indoor space and 2,141 square feet of outdoor terraces. The gorgeously appointed residence will feature a grand master bedroom with a unique outdoor spa area overlooking the Atlantic, three en suite bedrooms, five-and-a-half-baths baths, a den, home theater, outdoor summer kitchen, spacious living areas, and a gourmet chef-style kitchen.

Located at 5775 Collins Avenue, between Atlantic Heights and Mid-Beach -- and fashioned by the international award-winning firm Arquitectonica -- 57 Ocean enjoys close proximity to Miami’s chic Bal Harbour Shops, the prestigious La Gorce Country Club and Golf Course, and privileged views across Miami’s most exclusive expanse of beachfront. Slated for completion in 2021, the 18-story, holistic wellness-focused property will equally embrace luxury and nature with its tropically-inspired interiors by Brazilian designer Patricia Anastassiadis. Seventy-one spacious homes will evoke a sense of timelessness and tranquility that only the turquoise waters of the Atlantic can provide.

“Health, wellness, beauty, vitality -- these are the hallmarks of a life well-lived for the world's most sophisticated and discerning real estate buyers -- and nothing embraces these qualities better than well-designed homes nestled along the water,” said Marcelo Kingston, Managing Partner of Multiplan Real Asset Management, developer of 57 Ocean. “We are pleased that this buyer will soon enjoy an enclave of sophisticated families who appreciate the many benefits of living by the sea.”

The post Haute Development Presents Happy Hour In The Sky With Jules and Stephanie Trump at The Mansions At Acqualina appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Haute Living’s “Luxe And Leisure Weekend” was a weekend where guests were able to indulge in a weekend of luxury as Haute Living and Brickell City Centre partner together to present a series of curated events featuring some of the world's greatest luxury brands in the watch, automobile, fashion, and culinary industries. One of the many highlights from the weekend was a special real estate panel for Haute Residence about the future of downtown Miami that took place at Rise tower at Brickell City Centre.

The panel was moderated by Related ISG’s Alex Vidal and included powerhouses in the real estate area such as Douglas Elliman’s Cecilia Hinojosa, Related ISG’s Craig Studnicky, ONE Sotheby’s Harvey Daniels, Engel & Völkers’ Magnus Jennemyr, and Compass’ Andres Larin.

During the discussion, many interesting points were brought up about the downtown Miami area. Those in attendance who are downtown residents may have agreed with many of the observations and predictions that were brought up.

One point that came up in the talk was downtown becoming more connected than ever before. Harvey Daniels states "there's always been a break.. and now there's connectivity, a flow of retail and restaurants." If you’ve been in the downtown Miami area lately, you’ve seen the scooters that downtown residents and visitors are utilizing to maneuver from various downtown establishments that are short distances. With new buildings and restaurants being built, residents are living feet away from downtown museums and restaurants that bring the community closer than ever.

Many real estate professionals noted that 10 years ago, no one wanted to live in the downtown Miami area. Andres Larkin spoke about how he's been in Miami for about 10 years and feels "we have now reached that work, play lifestyle." An appealing quality developers are taking note of is creating working spaces in their buildings. With spaces to work and live, buyers feel more inclined to lease or buy because they have no commute time and they are getting a space to live and work in one building.

Panelists noted how downtown Miami is becoming more metropolitan like New York City. Like New York City, downtown Miami is creating more public spaces where people can partake in outdoor yoga along with various entertainment shows happening that appeal to everyone. With places like Brickell City Centre hosting farmer’s markets and other community activities, downtown residents are able to feel more connected to their neighbors like never before.

The discussion ended with giving Miami an age if it were a person. Many said Miami was a mature woman in her 30s while Cecilia Hinojosa believes Miami is "ageless." Miami, especially the downtown area, is maturing. It’s no longer just a place to go out during the weekend and leave. Downtown Miami is providing something for everyone. For the entrepreneur who wants to live close to his business to the family who wants to ditch their car to live in a more pedestrian-friendly environment to be in the mix of things. There’s a neighborhood in Miami for everyone. More and more buyers are seeing the growth that has happened in downtown over the last few years and want to be a part of it. For those looking to buy in the downtown Miami area, it is definitely the best time to do so. Downtown Miami is becoming the hub for all things and with developers taking note of what buyers are wanting as they look in the downtown area, more and more people will see that there’s a place for them downtown.

The evening ended with a cocktail hour in one of Rise towers' penthouses where attendees were able to take in the breathtaking view of downtown Miami's Brickell neighborhood. Here, guests were able to experience firsthand all that living downtown is about. With residential buildings like Brickell City Centre's Reach and Rise towers, buyers are able to be in the midst of everything like proximity to amazing retailers, restaurants and have amenities that give them the luxurious Miami lifestyle.

All these describe Benjamin Dixon and Matthew Mackay, who formed The Mackay | Dixon Team a little over a year ago. In this short time span, they have blended their real estate, customer service, finance and management skills to become #7 in New York City at Douglas Elliman.

Dixon and Mackay shared their success with Haute Residece.

You are celebrating one year as a team. How did you partner up?

Dixon: We have known each other over a decade. Matthew helped me find my first apartment (and every one since) in Manhattan in 2005.

Mackay: After nearly 20 great years in Manhattan real estate, I was looking to take things to the next level. When Ben said he was ready to take the plunge and leave a successful career in Finance, it all fell into place.

What are some of the challenges of transitioning from being a solo real estate agent to a team?

Mackay: I used to do it all myself. Incorporating another person into my decision-making process initially took a lot of effort. But it is worth it. While we had to invest time and energy to create communication and coordination systems, we are reaping the benefits, and so are our clients. Our marketing is stronger, our analysis more refined and our clients’ satisfaction, evidenced by a steady stream of referrals, is proof that it is all working.

What is the dynamic when working together? Do you split responsibilities?

Mackay: We collaborate on all of our deals so that our clients reap the benefits of each of our 20 years of experience. However, we do tend to split responsibilities according to our skillset. I often take the lead on buyer searches as I have been in almost every building in the city and have a photographic memory.

Dixon: And I tend to handle all of our operations, marketing and analysis.

Manhattan is a tough market to crack, yet you are among the top teams at Douglas Elliman – and in such a short time. What do you attribute your success to?

Dixon: Hard work. Hard work. Hard work. This is a competitive business. Without tenacity and determination, you won’t last long. We are also laser-focused on our clients’ experience. It isn’t enough to just get the deal done. Buying and selling in Manhattan is complex and can easily turn into a negative experience. While we can’t always remove every stress from a transaction, our goal is always to have our clients look back on the experience favorably and know without a doubt who they will call for their next real estate deal.

What have you learned in the year since becoming a team? What have you learned from each other?

Dixon: I learn from Matthew every day. He has done so many deals in this city. Having that wealth of knowledge available to me 24 hours a day has helped me come up the experience curve so much faster than I ever could have on my own.

Mackay: Ben looks at data differently than any broker I have met. While nothing can replace experience and instinct, being able to analyze the ever expanding amount of the data we have available to us today certainly provides us and our clients a competitive advantage.

What challenges do you see in the current state of the NYC real estate and what are the ways to overcome them?

Dixon: The current challenge is plain and simple – bridging the gap. We are seeing plenty of deals being done; but often the expectation gap has to be closed to get there. We do this head on with data and analysis.

What is your vision for the future?

Mackay: We finished out our first year together with two new team members and ranked #7 in New York City at Douglas Elliman. We plan to grow strategically and continually focus on improving our clients’ experience.

Two very different record-breaking paintings topped the art market and news.

Untitled by Jean-Michel Basquiat sold to the Japanese collector Yusaku Maezawa for $110.5 million (Sotheby’s), setting  a new record for an American artist.

Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi sold at Christie’s auction for $450 million. Despite the fact that some experts criticized its condition and others doubted its authenticity, it crushed the previous world record set by Picasso’s Women of Algiers in 2015 at $179 million.

Although those are extreme examples, the entire art market proved very strong, driven by post-war and contemporary art.

Wine, the 2016’s top-performing asset class, rose 11% in 2017, compared with  24% in 2016. It is now the second place asset class after art. Much of the demand for wine comes from Asia. Burgundy markets increased the most, at 16.5% though many wine regions were hit hard due to frost damage (some production down as much 70% in volume).

Classic cars, a consistently strong asset class, saw record-breaking sales. The top seller was a 1956 Aston Martin DBR1, raced by legendary Stirling Moss, at a RM Sotheby’s auction for $22.5 million. It was the most expensive British car ever sold. Some other notable sales were a 1995 McLaren F1 sold through Bonhams for $15.6 million and a 1959 Ferrari 250GT California Spider LWB that sold for $18 million.

In other asset classes, Hong Kong jeweler Chow Tai Fook paid $71.2 million for “the Pink Star,” a 59.6-carat vivid pink diamond. A a 1,000-year-old Ru guanyo ceramic brush-washing bowl sold for $40 million. And a rare set of four 16th- or 17th-century Chinese huanghuali folding chairs, sold for almost $7.5 million.

Listed for approximately $11 million with The De Niro Team of Douglas Elliman, the abode is a self-contained sanctuary in the bustle of New York City. From the moment you step in the oversized elevator that fits an SUV, you enter a private world full of amenities. You can go directly to the third floor or to your personal parking space in the basement.

Despite its harsh industrial hulk, the home is filled with soft, steady diffused light that pours in from windows across the Southern and Northern walls and from the 15x15 foot skylight in the center of the loft. The clean design, augmented by 13-foot ceilings, creates a sense of airiness.

The space is currently laid out as a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with several sitting and living areas, but can be reimagined by adding several Western facing windows and utilizing the undeveloped roof and the approximately 7,500 square feet of buildable air rights.

The raw commercial unit on the ground floor is nearly 1,600 square feet and includes a curb cut. The combined total square footage for the full-floor loft, ground floor commercial space and basement storage is 6,143.

The post Industrial Appeal And Modern Luxury Merge In This Approx. $11M Chelsea Residence appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Penthouse A: $55 Million

The top penthouse at Faena House, the unit spans the full top floor of the building and contains a long rooftop pool above. The unit stretches over 8,000 square feet under air and a full additional 7,000 square feet of exterior space wrapping the entire penthouse in a gigantic interconnected balcony modeled after the Alero of the Argentine country house.

Penthouse B $18 Million

Purchased at the same time as Penthouse A by a single owner, it is thought that billionaire Kenneth Griffin intended to combine the units to create an even more spectacular triplex. However, Griffin decided to relist both penthouses separately on the market. Spreading over a full half of the 15th floor, Penthouse B is an expansive 4,250 square feet, with an additional 2,750 square feet of exterior alero space looking out to the west over the City of Miami Beach and Biscayne Bay.

Penthouse D $33.9 Million

Almost as large as the top penthouse in interior square footage at 7,000 square feet, Penthouse D is considerably less expensive and yet still one of the most costly properties currently on the market. Its wrap-around alero is over 2,000 square feet, and connects all of the units' main rooms.

Apartment 14C $9.5 Million

Sitting at the roofline of many neighboring buildings, like the art deco Versailles tower next door, Apartment 14C captures bay and city views as well as the spectacular sunset over the Everglades in the far distance.

Apartment 7C: $7.2 million

Unit 7C is the most affordable of the bunch, if you use the term 'affordable' loosely, at $7.2 million. With 2,000 square feet of interior space and 1,000 square feet of alero, it has a side but still nice view of the ocean.

Apartment 6A $14.5 Million

It may be on a lower floor, but Apartment 6A is nothing to sneeze at, and priced accordingly. It has about 4,750 of interior square footage, and a few thousand of that signature Faena exterior 'alero' facing the ocean.

Apartment 5B $9.5 Million

At about 2,000 square feet of interior square footage and 1,000 square feet of alero, Apartment 5B has the same luxurious kitchen and bathroom finishes, high ceilings, wide glass walls, and expansive balconies as all the units above it.

While maintaining its luxury quality, the building is ideal for business travelers spending too much time in New York for hotels but not enough to fully buy yet. The building’s model units were also designed by ASH New York, and really show the modern aesthetic and how any one of these units can be the coolest space downtown for financial types to finally relax in without having to endure the commute from the office. The real star of the building though is the rooftop level. Outfitted with a lounge full of couches, a ping-pong area, deck chairs to catch the last of the summer sun, a full gym, expansive views over the East River, and an outdoor pool featuring a giant mural by artist Gray Malin, it’s the crown jewel of the building. While the next phase of the building, the luxury penthouses will still be under construction for the next few weeks, the building has already leased over 70% of the building, with units going fast. Check out the images from Haute Residence's tour though the property to see it for yourself!

Measuring 9,300 square feet, the loft encompasses the whole 40th floor of the 42-story Century building, which comes not only with expansive views of the Santa Monica Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, but also with residential amenities, such as a screening room, a 75-foot lap pool, a gym, and botanical trails.

Purchased through Perry’s manager at the end of June, the apartment flaunts four bedrooms, including a splendid master suite with almost 360-degree, panoramic vistas.

Rendered in white and pastel tones with a pale wood floor, the large living room, furnished with two fireplaces, bathes in the light streaming from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Equally striking, the formal dining room can accommodate up to 25 guests.

Carrying over the relaxed colors of the home, the kitchen exudes pared-down modernity, complete with high-end amenities, a large island, and a breakfast bar.

Listed with Bachir Oueida of Douglas Elliman, the penthouse had an initial price tag of $26.5 million, a little over a quarter of what Perry paid.

Meanwhile, he is selling his five-bathroom, three-bedroom house in Hollywood Hills for $13.5 million through Partners Trust Beverly Hills agent, Greg Holcomb, who also represented Perry in the purchase of his new home.

A Saudi royal prince listed this 10,500-square-foot condo for $48.5 million.

The massive condo triplex was customized from six smaller units in the building. It boasts four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and six half bathrooms.

Six-person Jacuzzi crafted of Calcutta marble.

Billiards room with Calcutta built-in saltwater aquarium.

Though the 10,500-square-foot home is currently owned by Saudi royal Prince Nawaf bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, it’s hard to imagine why anyone would require that much protection. Besides, if you’re dropping nearly $50 million on a part-time New York pad, why not simply hire Jack Bauer as a bodyguard. Problem solved.

The opulent four-bedroom, four-bathroom, and six half-bathroom triplex offers much more than security. It also presents all the princely high-life necessities—namely outdoor terraces; lounges; a sushi island bar; ventilated cigar room; billiards room; massage, steam, and treatment rooms; hair salon; built-in saltwater aquariums; a six-person Jacuzzi; and a 60-foot living room overlooking the Hudson River. On the opposite end of the living room, a dining room large enough for a 16-person table looks over Riverside Park. A pantry/catering kitchen on this floor allows for seamless entertaining. The home also features an extra-large, windowed chef's kitchen with Bardiglio Nuvolato Marble countertops and oak wood paneling is also on this level.

Modern interiors include picturesque panoramic windows, Hudson River views, and modern fireplaces.

The home is available fully furnished.

Bedroom with view of Hudson River.

The 6A residence, occupying the fifth, sixth and seventh floors of the 31-story building at 240 Riverside Boulevard, was customized from six—count ‘em six!—smaller condo units. What the prince wants, the prince gets. Which leads us back to the panic rooms. Not since Jodie Foster’s 2002 film or since 9/11 has a panic room seemed necessary. And after 9/11, Saudi princes were quickly whisked out of the U.S. for their own protection.

Panic rooms would have better served notoriously scandalous locals like former Congressman Anthony Weiner, who dodged paparazzi, Bernie Madoff, who dodged creditors, or John Gotti, who dodged law enforcement authorities. We thought panic rooms were the stuff of movie legend—until now.

If that’s not enough, the Saudi prince’s apartment is move-in ready—it may be sold completely furnished. Contemporary interiors are bold, masculine, and naturally rich, including lots of Calcutta marble (as well as other pricey black or striped marble) on ceilings, walls, and floors; a polished teakwood bar; elaborate chandeliers; modern fireplaces; picturesque, panoramic windows; stained oak stairs; and other intrepid décor reminiscent of a Rockefeller Center lobby (which, like it or not, makes an intense statement).

On the seventh floor, the river facing master bedroom suite is comprised of a sitting room with ethanol fireplace, sleeping chamber, Calacatta Gold wrapped spa bath and steam shower, grooming room, and dual powder rooms.

Bold bathroom in black marble.

The masculine teakwood bar makes a bold statement.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the home is selling for $4,600 per square foot, exceedingly high for the Upper West Side and more consistent with condo units on “Billionaire’s Row,” a section along 57th street, where sales are shattering previous records. Listing agents for the Saudi prince’s pad are Ryan Serhant, Brian Chan of Nest Seekers International, and Douglas Elliman’s Raphael De Niro (yes, Raging Bull's son).

Now, it appears the prince is unloading his luxurious New York nest because he rarely uses it, says the Journal. A nearly $50 million apartment in Manhattan that’s unused. Now that news is worthy of a panic.

Movie star couple Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde traded up before listing their two-bedroom, 2.5 bath Chelsea apartment for nearly $4 million recently, just eight months after the birth of their son, Otis.

Actors Jason Sudeikis and fiancée Olivia Wilde put are aiming for a $777,000 profit on the home they bought in 2012.

The 1,670-square-foot corner unit boasts ample light, 13-foot ceilings and great views of the Meatpacking District.

The kitchen showcases high-end stainless steel appliances.

The actors bought the modest (by celebrity standards) Meatpacking District apartment at 66 Ninth Avenue in 2012 for $3.23 million. Listing agent Ann Cutbill Lenan of Douglas Elliman real estate told media outlets that the couple “moved on to a bigger place.” (we’re guessing literally and figuratively).

Sudeikis earned his comedic wings via brash and cocky characters as a featured “not ready for primetime player” on Saturday Night Live before graduating to become a bonafide A-list comedy movie star in successful movies such as Horrible Bosses and We’re the Millers. New York City-born Wilde achieved international stardom television shows such as The O.C. and House M.D., and then in films such as Cowboys & Aliens.

When you consider the actors’ skyrocketing careers and a son who’s about to test out his walking shoes, it’s understandable why the family flew the Chelsea coop—despite what’s generally considered a spacious pad by Manhattan standards. But once you've gone Hollywood, standards change. Sudeikis and Wilde, who can play the game in Hollywood or New York appear to have left the Meatpacking District's High Line for the high life. Who could blame them?

Sudeikis and Wilde outgrew the two-bedroom apartment following the birth of their son.

One of the 2.5 baths.

The star couple's apartment is modest by celebrity standards.

Space aside, the listed 1,670-square-foot corner unit in Chelsea could offers few A-list frills outside of expansive views, 13-foot ceilings, walk-in closets, custom Italian cabinetry and high-end appliances. The apartment (across from Chelsea Market) could very well pass for a business executive’s bachelor pad with access to a public roof deck, a fitness center and bike storage.

Wilde gained fame on the TV show House M.D. while Sudeikis honed his chops as a featured player on SNL.

The New York couple are engaged and have an eight-month old son.

The apartment is located in the Porter House, a conversion building (actually an expansion of an industrial building to condos) designed by SHoP architects and built in 2003--named for the "porterhouse" cut of steak in a nod to the Meatpacking District. According to Douglas Elliman Real Estate, the base of the building is a yellow-brick Renaissance Revival warehouse structure originally erected in 1905. Meanwhile, the condo conversion rests on top of the warehouse--disguised as a dark zinc-façade box with vertical lighting elements as large as some of its windows. The agency calls these oversized windows "visible beacons" that resemble "lines of barcode."

The Porter House building offers a prime location near Hudson River Park's walking and bike paths, dog runs and green spaces as well as High Line Park, Chelsea Piers recreation center, restaurants, clubs and art galleries.

Listing agent Lenan correctly calls the neighborhood “hip” and the Sudeikis-Wilde apartment itself “sunny.” Since SNL alum Sudeikis is a rising comedy star, the apartment may also have traces of funny left behind. So whoever buys it, the joke may be on them. In this case, that would be a good thing.

If Miami real estate is a bubble, it's still inflating fast.

The average sales price for Miami real estate was up 19 percent in the first quarter compared with the same period a year ago, according to a report from Douglas Elliman and Miller Samuel. The median sales price hit $244,000, the highest since the pre-crisis peak in 2008.

The number of sales was up 4 percent, and it hit the highest level since Elliman started gathering data in 2006. The number of days homes were on the market fell 9 percent.

The luxury sector—defined in the report as the top 10 percent of the market—was truly on fire. The average sales price for luxury single-family homes surged 34 percent over the same quarter last year, rising to $2.7 million. The number of luxury sales also grew 7 percent.

Average prices for luxury condos surged 16 percent to $1.8 million.

This six-bedroom, seven-bath Miami mansion is currently on the market for $11.5 million.

"I can't believe how much prices are increasing," said Jay Phillip Parker, the CEO of Florida brokerage for Douglas Elliman. "Miami is becoming more like Monaco, with a lot of wealth and a sophisticated infrastructure and culture to support that."

Of course, Miami doesn't have the gambling, the sporty monarchy or the offshore tax shelters that Monaco has. But pockets of Miami are becoming enclaves for the global super rich. Fisher Island, Star Island, the Venetian Islands and other posh communities are attracting a much younger, richer and more private buyer.

"These are gated communities that give people that sense of isolation that they're looking for," Parker said. "Their kids can walk safely on the streets. They want that security."

The latest wave of wealthy buyers are pouring in from both overseas and the Northeast, Parker said. Although the rich Russians and Latin Americans get a lot of the attention for Miami mansion sales, the core demand is really being driven by financial executives and hedge funders in the Northeast looking for a lower tax bill and the Miami lifestyle, he said.

"People have been saying for years that the hedge fund guys and financial folks would move here, but now it's really happening," Parker said.

He said many hedge funders and Wall Street executives calculate that they can buy a luxury condo with the money they save in New York taxes "over just a couple of years."

Of course, Miami has a history of booms and busts. And one of the warning signs in the current market is inventory, which climbed 10 percent in the first quarter.

Miami has become a giant construction site again and some developers worry about over-supply of high-end condos coming on line in thenext year. But because so many buyers are paying with cash or have relatively low mortgages, and are paying hefty deposits for new projects, there is less risk of a bubble bursting, according to Parker.

"Where we worry about bubbles and real contraction is in the new construction," he said. "But for these buyers, this is really a second or third home. It's not speculation or an investment strategy."
