American supermodel Karlie Kloss and her husband, Joshua Kushner, have owned various homes together but were recently brought back to Kushner’s family business, Kushner Properties, as buyers. Kloss is notably recognized for her work as a Victoria’s Secret angel and in 2015, launched Kode With Klossy as a coding program for young girls. Her husband, Joshua Kushner, is the founder of venture capital firm Thrive Capital and while he does not have a role at his family’s reigning real estate company, the business was once led by his brother, Jared Kushner, former White House senior adviser and the son-in-law of former United States President Donald Trump.

Built in 1885, the Puck Building was acquired by Kushner Properties over three decades ago. The iconic Romanesque Revival property originally designed by Albert Wagner consists of nine stories and six limited edition penthouse units. In 2015, the Kloss and Kushner’s newly acquired unit was initially listed at a whopping $66 million. Since then, the space has been listed on and off the market as it was reportedly serving as a rental residence at $1.25 million a year. In March of 2019, the home was relisted at $42.5 million. With Kloss and Kushner only recently under contract, the final purchase price is not yet available to report. However, it was last listed for $42.5 million.

Kloss and Kushner’s newly acquired abode is known as Penthouse One of the historic building. As a limited edition of six, recently completed Penthouses, this duplex spans more than 7,200 square feet with 5,100 square feet of private outdoor space. The lavish loft melds together a modern aesthetic with custom finishes and prewar decoratives. With sweeping views of the bustling cityscape, the space boasts oversized windows, cast-iron columns, and barrel-vaulted ceilings. The home offers its own library, a cinema room, and terrace with lush putting greens and a hot tub. Other luxe amenities of the residence include a full-time doorman and concierge, in home service, and catering from the Chef’s Club by Food & Wine restaurant.

Commonly referred to as one of the most influential musical figures of the 20^th century, Bowie was widely recognized as a glamorous star with dramatic makeup, remarkable style, and unmatched stage presence. Although the English singer-songwriter unfortunately passed in 2016 due to cancer, his lasting legacy is still apparent in the touches he left behind including his longtime Manhattan apartment.

The New York City property was purchased by Bowie in 1999 for a price of $3.81 million. Located in the Nolita neighborhood, the area offers a charming and chic essence perfectly synonymous with his lively image. Records indicate that this property is currently owned by a trust linked to his estate. Recently though, the superstar’s former residence was placed on the market at an asking price of $16.8 million. Less than a month after its listing, the property has secured a buyer and the home is currently in contract.

Bowie's former longtime residence spans over 5,000 square feet of living space and includes four bedrooms. The stylish apartment sits in a mid-rise Manhattan building that dates back to the late 1800s when the property was utilized as a chocolate factory. The vibrant unit offers direct elevator access and opens to a marvelous 56-foot-long great room. The primary bedroom suite offers more than 1,000 square feet and is equipped with a cozy fireplace and spacious dressing room. Other appealing amenities of the superstar home include a library and three outdoor terraces.

The listing for this property is held by Stuart Moss of the Corcoran Group.

Some of New York’s best kept secrets remain hidden in plain sight. Whether that’s the city’s best burger, hidden speakeasy with the best cocktails, or bookshops that seem almost purposefully hidden, sometimes keeping something away from the public to gawk at makes it that much cooler. 22 Bond Street may as well be the real estate equivalent of those points. Hidden behind a giant steel façade, looked to be weathered through time of New York history, this luxury tower is everything but rust-colored.

Behind its large privacy wall, 22 Bond offers a unique blend between art and high-end design. The building’s penthouse offers 22-foot high ceilings, private elevators, three bedrooms, 3.1 bathrooms, a custom kitchen decked out with Smallbone of Devizes, and Gaggenau appliances, all over 3,828 square feet. The property is newly listed on the market from Douglas Elliman’s Darren Sukenik for just under $15 million.

If this penthouse feels more like an art gallery than a home—good. The building’s original intent was to have this be a resident’s private gallery, and its continued to be treated as such, being given the utmost care and attention to detail while filing the space in the building with installations by Federico Uribe and Roy Nachum in the lobby.

While the building and penthouse feel as though one would never want to leave, 22 Bond Street is also a neighborhood like no other in the city. Strattling NoHo, Greenwich Village, SoHo, and NoLita, 22 Bond has everything from great restaurants like ATLA or Mile End, fitness studios like SoulCycle, buzzy bars from the NYU crowd to finer watering holes like ACME, and transit areas at Broadway/Lafayette and Astor Place. For all the ability and range this building has to offer, its no wonder they wanted to keep this space hidden behind steel walls.
