The spacious four-bedroom loft was originally offered for US$27 million. Wheeler and his wife had acquired the property in 2024 for US$16 million and subsequently undertook extensive renovations. The successful sale generated a remarkable profit of US$10 million.
Among the apartment's outstanding new features is a mural, considered the first privately commissioned residential mural by renowned celebrity tattoo artist Mr. K. The property is located on the top floor of a boutique condominium building with only six units, offering a dramatic gallery as an entrance area that sets the tone for the bespoke renovation.
Features and Design
Dark panelling, arched doorways and oversized crystal chandeliers create the first impression, while sculptural mirrors and a black-and-white runner add a modern accent. At the end of the gallery, the space opens into a 'Great Room' whose large windows flood the living area with natural light – a contrast to the more atmospheric, hotel-inspired entrance.
The 'Great Room' boasts 15-foot high ceilings, historic steel windows and exposed brick walls. A 53-foot long frontage offers views of West Broadway. A sculptural fireplace and generous seating areas beneath the coffered ceiling emphasise the spaciousness of the room.

Beneath the floating staircase is the aforementioned mural by Mr. K. The extensive monochrome artwork refines the brick wall, creating a unique backdrop that blends contemporary art with the penthouse's historic architecture.
Directly opposite the living room is the dining area with a custom-built bench extending under a series of floating shelves. A marble-topped dining table and a multi-part cascade chandelier complement the space, while mirrored glass details reflect the surroundings.
The adjoining kitchen is equipped with floor-to-ceiling, cream-coloured cabinetry, marble countertops, a farmhouse sink and a large butcher block island. A striking blue and brass French range forms a prominent focal point against the tiled splashback. Polished brass fittings add warmth to the room.
Private Areas and Outdoor Facilities
The main suite, occupying a private corner of the apartment, continues the fusion of industrial architecture and contemporary luxury. A cut-out wall element serves as a headboard for the low padded bed, which faces the windows and is positioned beneath a white and gold globe light fitting.
Next to the bedroom is a custom-built walk-in wardrobe, explicitly designed as a dressing room rather than simple storage. It features floor-to-ceiling fitted cupboards with open shelving, hanging rails and integrated drawers.
The en-suite bathroom is almost entirely clad in marble and features contrasting black accents. A bathtub sits opposite a walk-in glass shower with multiple fittings and a long double vanity. Crystal lighting and polished chrome fittings complete the space into a spa-like area. The remaining bedrooms all retain the loft's high proportions and the carefully selected finishes of the Wheeler renovation.
Before accessing the roof terrace, an atmospheric indoor lounge is situated. This serves as an elegant extension of the penthouse's entertainment areas. The lounge is characterised by a darker, more intimate colour palette, with anthracite walls and ceilings, geometric black-and-white tiled floors, and contemporary furnishings. The 3,008-square-foot roof terrace itself is equipped with an air-conditioned wine bar, an outdoor kitchen, and a bocce court.
