David Bowie’s former SoHo/ Nolita apartment has been taken off the apartment sold for $16.8 million dollars
David Bowie’s former longtime downtown Manhattan apartment is set to be sold for $16.8 million after less than a month on the market.
According to StreetEasy.com, the residence was listed for sale on June 14 by The Corcoran Real Estate Group and taken off the market on July 11.
The 5,000 square foot apartment is located near Washington Square Park in the SoHo/ Nolita neighborhood.
Originally built in 1886 as the Hawley & Hoops chocolate factory, the nine story building on Lafayette Street was converted into a full-service condominium building with 30 units in the 1990s.
The four bedroom, three bathroom residence boast three outdoor terraces, direct elevator access, 11-foot ceilings, a library, a half bath, and an open kitchen. The interior was masterfully curated by one of Europe’s most renowned architect/designers.
The Master bedroom suite measures over 1,000 square feet featuring a fireplace, dressing room, oversized bath and private terrace.

Bowie and his wife Iman moved to the downtown apartment full-time after leaving their midtown apartment overlooking Central Park in 2002.
According to the book ‘Forever Stardust: David Bowie Across the Universe,’ ‘Bowie loved living in SoHo/Nolita. He felt at home, semi-anonymous, among New Yorkers too cool to act star-struck at celebrity sightings.’
The property was left to Iman as part of his $100 million estate after the rocker’s 2016 passing following a long battle with cancer. Read more from Daily Mail.
