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.

Gronkowski will be able to enjoy city and Hudson River views from the high-floor condo when he's in town to play the Jets, Giants, or after spending a night out on the town. Teammate Tom Brady will likely be impressed with the pickup by Gronkowski: the condo was originally listed for $8,775,000 in September of 2019.

The corner unit, three-bedroom and 3.5-bath unit has over 2,600 square feet of living space, 10-foot-high ceilings, and an eat-in kitchen with marble counters and Gaggenau appliances. His master suite includes two walk-in closets and a quartzite bathroom with a double vanity and tub.

The 35 Hudson Yards condominium where Gronk bought his unit has an Equinox gym and SoulCycle, as well as a hotel, spa, and indoor/outdoor pools. The building was designed by David Childs/SOM and completed in 2019 as the tallest building in Hudson Yards. Other amenities include a business center with board rooms, a game room, on-site catering, and a playroom for children. Nearby are multiple parks, shopping centers, restaurants, art galleries in West Chelsea, and more.

Pete told Jimmy Fallon on a recent Tonight Show appearance, "I feel like I won a contest," when asked about being engaged to Ariana. She has already teased a new song, "Pete," about, "this love that I'm in."

The happy couple, who have been pictured lately shopping and holding hands around New York, paid $16 million for a chevron-shaped condo on the High Line.

One of the last finished buildings of the late Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid, the chic condo is all curves. Ariana and Pete can cook together in their highly-curated, top-of-the-line kitchen, or watch Pete's favorite flick, "Good Time," starring Robert Pattinson, in the private IMAX theatre. It is a cinematic marvel for any apartment to have. It reportedly cost a half-million-dollars to construct.

The pair will have plenty of room for wedding gifts too: there's on-site storage inspired by a Swiss bank vault. Plus, in a city where keeping a car can be a challenge, the integrated parking deck is a luxury in itself.

In a class of high-end condos where promoting wellness is an amenity theme, this building includes a juice bar, fitness center, and 75-foot sky-lit pool. There is also a private reservable spa suite that may interest this amorous pair.

Ariana and Pete's unit has five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths. The master connects to an en-suite walk-in closet with dressing room. The master bath is done in Nero Marquinia marble with a freestanding six-foot sculptural bathtub.

The white oak hardwoods add warmth to the main living area, while the 9-foot retractable wall-to-wall windows provide those artsy high-line views. This boutique building appears to have everything two young trend-setters need.

Cynics may decry the speed of Ariana and Pete's engagement–the camera-ready PDA, her $93,000 ring, or the tribute ink they've gotten for each other at Chinatown’s No Idols Tattoo Shop–but they've both seen darker days and been hurt before. What's different this time? Laughter was the spark of their attraction–according to the word on the street.

Is it crazy to move into a space-age luxury condo with someone you've only dated for two months? Maybe. But as the Spanish poet, Pedro Calderon de la Barca, once said, "When love is not madness, it is not love."

Sporting a cool geometric sophistication, the upscale 10-story residential offers 15 resplendent two- and three-bedroom condominiums—over half of which tout private outdoor spaces—ranging from 2,000 to over 3,300 square feet in size.

Priced from $3 million to $12.5 million, the sprawling homes—which are saturated with sunlight during the day—boast 10- to 12-foot ceilings and continuous oversized casement ribbon windows, a trademark of architect/developer Cary Tamarkin. The windows alternate with broad strips of sleek architectural concrete, creating a bold and genuine aesthetic.

Each of the residences is accessed via a key-locked private lift, which opens to an entry gallery foyer that leads into an expansive open living and dining space outfitted with quarter-sawn white oak floors.

The kitchens are all appointed with a number of luxuriant features, including exquisite walnut cabinetry; Bianco sinks and Vola polished chrome faucets; Viking six-burner stoves and microwaves; Sub-Zero refrigerators and wine fridges; Miele dishwashers; and Calacatta Gold-marble countertops and backsplashes custom-designed by Tamarkin himself.

Every master suite features a luxe bath spa with Italian Calacatta Gold-marble floor, walls, and countertops; custom-designed white oak medicine cabinet and double vanity; and a steam shower with rain showerhead and built-in marble bench. The secondary bedrooms' en suite baths each have a private dressing room, along with Portuguese Azul Lagos limestone floors; porcelain ceramic tile walls; a custom lacquered vanity; and a Catalano ceramic sink. All the baths showcase Zuma soaking tubs and Vola polished chrome fixtures.

The contemoprary structure's three opulent penthouses also each feature a wood-burning fireplace, 11- or 12-foot ceilings, and three bedrooms complete with en suite baths, not to mention wraparound private terraces that envelope a dramatic mix of sky, greenery, and sculpted concrete.

The posh edifice, which has a gallery-like lobby dressed with cypress wood and natural cleft slate, will feature a doorman and a state-of-the-art intercom, as well as a video security system. The building will also have a fully equipped fitness hub, a full-time superintendent, and laundry room with commercial-grade washers and dryers, and large private storage spaces for each residence, along with a shared courtyard appointed with a gas grill.
