L
inda Evangelista's Manhattan penthouse, a testament to her enduring style and flair, is now on the market for $8.19 million. This stunning 4,022-square-foot loft boasts an impressive 2,500-square-foot roof terrace that offers breathtaking views of the city.
A true icon of the 1980s/90s supermodel era, Evangelista's life has been marked by glamour and drama. She once famously declared, "We don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day," reflecting her status as one of the highest-paid models of her time. Her personal story is equally captivating, with a high-profile divorce from Gérald Marie and a subsequent custody battle over their son.
A breast cancer survivor, Evangelista has also taken on the beauty industry, suing CoolSculpting for $50 million after a non-surgical fat reduction treatment left her disfigured. Her career has been defined by collaborations with fashion legends like Karl Lagerfeld and Steven Meisel, as well as her chameleon-like ability to reinvent herself through bold hairstyles.
This four-bedroom, two-bathroom loft in the Spears Building is a rare find, offering exposed brick, polished concrete floors, and 13-foot-high ceilings. The penthouse features a woodburning fireplace, plenty of skylights, and an eat-in kitchen with a "pass-through" design. The primary bedroom suite boasts High Line views, a spa-like bath, and a spacious dressing room.
The real showstopper is the expansive roof terrace, which offers endless possibilities for al fresco entertaining. With its industrial-cool vibe and stunning city views, this penthouse is a true gem in one of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods. Listing broker Steve Gold notes that the price point is a "value buy," with comparable penthouses in the area selling for upwards of $5,000 per square foot.
The building itself offers a range of amenities, including a doorman, superintendent, bike storage, and a common roof terrace with Hudson River views. Neighbors include fellow fashion industry insiders like Trey Laird, founder of Laird + Partners. With its unique blend of style, space, and location, this penthouse is sure to captivate even the most discerning buyer.
