Celebrity Real Estate Wrap: Denzel Wants New Digs


Monday, May 1, 2006, by Joey

2006_5_campanile.jpg1) Denzel Washington has been spotted on the hunt once again, this time seriously checking out this 15-room duplex at the Campanile building, which is going for $10.9 million. The East 52nd Street co-op overlooks the East River, as you can see at right. If he goes for it, he'll be buying into the former home of Ethel Barrymore, H.J. Heinz and Greta Garbo, among others. Denzel was previously seen checking out the Novare. [Braden Keil/Gimme Shelter]
2) Awesome showdown going on at East 57th Street, where a developer is squaring off against publishing titans and high-society couple Sir Harry Evans and Tina Brown over a wall that dates back to the 1860's. The developer wants to tear it down to make way for a 15-story condo, and Evans (who owns six inches of the wall) wants to keep it up to preserve the privacy of their garden. Fight! Fight! Fight! [William Neuman/Big Deal; NYPost]
3) Spotted last week checking out apartments in Harrison Ford's building in Chelsea: Sienna Miller. According to Page 6, Miller wants to move to NYC from London. [Page 6]
4) Dear Southampton: Katie Couric is coming, so keep an eye out for her valuables. The news lass is paying $8 million for a five-bedroom, two-story home on a private gated property. [Braden Keil/Gimme Shelter]

NIMBYism...as simple as that!

"But Sir Harold is also bothered by the idea that if the party wall comes down and Mr. Kully's building goes up, the new condos will have windows opening directly onto his garden."

Nobody gets to build next door, not even the developer who OWNS the property, because someone else will be able to LOOK into my garden.

How absurd! People like Sir Harold should lose their rights to be property owners (since that's what he's virtually trying to do to developer Kully).

So why can't the developer next to Evans/Brown just move his building plans by six inches and leave the wall where it is? Though you figure a new wall would give them just as much privacy as the old wall - it would just be a lot uglier, no?

Re: the East 50s apartment: is it in the same building as this chart topper (which I think was discussed on curbed a week or two ago, as being "too exclusive to list its address")?

If so, what would explain the $30mm price discrepancy?
