Mike Myers has been occasionally in the real-estate news the past few months, for inexplicably buying a slick $14.5 million Tribeca apartment, listing it a week later, and selling it a loss in February. Myers took a nearly $700K loss on the sale, prompting speculation regarding the sudden listing, and the initial purchase itself.
Located in 433 Greenwich, one of Manhattan’s most currently desirable buildings, the 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath loft condo features blanched wide-plank hardwood, arched windows, and raw wood crossbeams and supports. The layout is a nice blend of open concept and privacy, and all bedrooms are en-suite.
An example of cutting-edge contemporary, the residences at 433 are cool and ethereal, and Unit 5A is finished in whitewash and high-fashion lighting; fixtures are recessed LED, or hanging units evoking the current flavor of industrial chic, or molecular or geometric forms. The effect is intended to be distinctly current, and self-consciously future-is-now.
The building itself champions green fashion, and the developers used much in the way of recycled building materials in construction, including reclaimed wood and fixtures, and is the product of extensive restorations which maintain the historical integrity of the original design.
Amenities in the building include a huge central common garden, a travertine-lined pool Romanesque in design, and a tile-lined underground parking garage. The factory building dates to the 19th century, and was, in its industrial heyday, a manufacturer of everything from books to steel wool.
