In 2018, popstar Ariana Grande and comedian Pete Davidson were involved in a whirlwind romance when they began dating in May, got engaged in the weeks following, and moved into a luxurious apartment complex in West Chelsea. The chic space seemed fitting for the public duo as the building was deemed one of the most luxurious in New York City. The property had reportedly been on and off the market since 2015 with an unwavering asking price of $16 million. Since the celebrity couple split in October of 2018, Grande has said “thank u, next” to her former relationship and residence. She has now amassed an impressive real estate portfolio with contemporary mansion in the Hollywood Hills, a $9 million Bird Streets home, and a $6.7 million Montecito estate purchased from Ellen DeGeneres. Recently, the two-time Grammy winning vocalist tied the knot with real estate agent Dalton Gomez in an intimate ceremony at her Montecito home.

Built in the winter of 2017, the New York City apartment complex formerly home to Grande and Davidson was designed by the late renowned architect Dame Zaha Hadid. The lavish custom decor consists of 10-foot-wide motorized windows, 10-foot-high ceilings, distinctive curved glass, and lacquered wall paneling. With 4,023 square feet of living space, Grande’s former unit includes five bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. The interior layout presents an ultramodern kitchen equipped with double dishwashers, double refrigerators, a wine refrigerator, a steam oven, and a sculptural island with beveled marble. Leading from the contemporary kitchen, the home offers a spacious family room and entertainment area with a bright and airy atmosphere. Stepping outside, the unit also features a 1,361 square foot terrace with picturesque views of the Empire State Building and bustling cityscape below.

The extravagant apartment complex with 39 units presents a lifestyle of privacy and luxury. Additional amenities consist of a skylit swimming pool, fitness center, spa, and the city’s first private IMAX theater. The price of this property also includes two parking spaces worth $700,000 each. Located directly over the High Line in West Chelsea, this lavish residence is mere moments from Hudson River Park as well as a multitude of shopping and dining options in the city’s most coveted neighborhood.

This property was listed with Million Dollar Listing: New York star Steve Gold. The buyer was represented by Phillip Salem of Compass.

In 2004, the English actress purchased her penthouse duplex with former husband, director Sam Mendes, at a price of $5 million. After their split, Winslet bought out Mendes’ ownership for $2.15 million in 2012. Reportedly, she has since been renting the property for $30,000 a month. In November of 2020, she prepared to bid farewell to her stylish abode listing the home on the market for $5.7 million. However, the space has recently sold at a reduced price of $5.3 million. Lindsay Barton Barrett with Douglas Elliman represented the seller. Winslet currently owns a home in the English seaside village of West Wittering, presumed to be her primary residence.

Located in vibrant West Chelsea, Winslet’s former home spans 3,000 square feet and includes four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The two-floor apartment opens to a wall of windows and 46-foot-wide great room with fireplace and floor-to-ceiling shelving. The open chef’s kitchen is equipped with butcher-block cabinets, massive center island with breakfast bar, and stainless-steel appliances. The sundrenched master suite features a massive walk-in closet, ensuite bathroom with tub, separate shower, and dual vanities. Across the hall rests two other bedrooms and powder room. The expansive upstairs space also includes another bathroom and closet. Stepping outside, the exterior space highlights a wraparound rooftop terrace with picturesque views of the Hudson River and dazzling cityscape. In a convenient location near the Chelsea Market, Whitney Museum, Hudson River Park, and world-class galleries and dining, Winslet’s former penthouse perfectly encompasses the appeal of the New York City lifestyle.
