Toys ‘R’ Us CEO David Brandon has picked up a Manhattan penthouse. Brandon paid $15.277 million for the property, a unit in the Carlton House, on the Upper East Side.

The building, at one time owned by ideal 1980’s manifestations the Helmsleys, was purchased by Extell Development Company in 2011, and converted into a modern luxury residential building. It dates to the early 1950’s.

Brandon’s unit spans a little more than 3,500 square feet of interior living space, with three bedrooms and 4.5 baths throughout. There is an additional 1,120 square feet of exterior living space when the unit’s terraces and balconies are factored into the overall floor plan.

The condo is executed in a traditional layout, with a partially open floor plan; kitchen, living room, and dining room all extend as a progression. Design is generally modern, with recessed ceilings, neutral tones, and unremarkable fixtures.

Floors are natural stone tile or hardwood. It wasn’t a striking residence at the time of the sale, but all the neutrality and the generic fittings comprise a terrifically open canvas for the new owner’s statement. The master bedroom is especially appealing, with glass walls looking toward a terrace and balcony, and a step-up threshold leading to the outdoor living area.

Aside from his professional engagement with Toys ‘R’ Us, Brandon was at one time the CEO of Domino’s Pizza; he remains Chairman of the Domino’s board of directors.
