Just a few weeks after purchasing the largest unit in the Puck Penthouses in New York City, Karlie Kloss and Joshua Kushner have listed a smaller apartment in that same building for $23.5 million, according to the Wall Street Journal. The married couple paid $18 million for the 5,672 square foot unit back in 2018, and though they’ve since welcomed their first child and presumably need more space, clearly they were not ready to leave the building.
The unit they’re selling has four bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms, and is certainly spacious in its own right. It spans two floors, and the upper floor can be reached either through a private elevator, or more dramatically, the winding white oak staircase. Along with the bedrooms and common areas, the space features a home gym and two spacious dressing rooms, one of which measures nearly the same size as the unit’s guest bedrooms. The primary bedroom contains a sleeping area and a sitting area with a minimal gas fireplace, the aforementioned dressing rooms, and two bathrooms, the larger of which has Arabescato Oro marble covered floors and walls and a freestanding tub.
Beyond amenities, the space’s barrel vaulted ceilings, plethora of exposed brick, and original cast iron beams subtly add character to the space. The unique kitchen adds a sense of playfulness to the space with its trendy sea foam green cabinets and dramatic steel and brass La Cornue range. With the island on casters, it’s simple to transform the kitchen depending on day-to-day countertop needs.
The apartment they’ve settled on, which they’re reportedly now in contract for, is a penthouse in the historic Puck Building which is located in the Nolita neighborhood and dates back to 1885. Kushner Properties, the company founded by Joshua’s father, owns the property and developed the six penthouses it homes in 2014. The Kloss-Kushner family purchased an extravagant duplex measuring just over 7,200 square feet of indoor space and over 5,000 square feet outdoors. The five bedroom seven and a half bathroom space is chock full of amenities, including a library, gym, home theater, and wine cellar. Outdoors, they’ll enjoy a putting green, a lawn for yoga, a spa tub, and a wet bar.
Barrel vaulted ceilings, skylights, and wood burning fireplaces create a unique atmosphere in the space, while the oversized windows throughout make it easy to take in the property’s impressive view of Nolita and SoHo. While details on the price the couple paid are unavailable, it was last on the market in March of 2019 for $42.5 million.

The Weeknd buys a penthouse in Westwood’s Beverly West for $21 million.
After recently selling his luxurious Hidden Hills mansion to Madonna, Grammy Award-winning singer and record producer The Weeknd now resides in a jaw-dropping penthouse in the glittering heart of Los Angeles. The star splashed out $21 million on the purchase, making the condo one of the priciest ever sold in LA.
Abel Tesfaye, the singer-songwriter better known as The Weeknd, has bought one of the remaining penthouses at the Beverly West, a boutique condominium tower in Westwood, in one of the highest condo sales ever recorded in the Los Angeles area.
The “Can’t Feel My Face” and “The Hills” singer paid $21 million — or about $2,555 a square foot — for the residence, which occupies the entire 18th floor. Select designer-curated furnishings were negotiated separately, according to real estate sources familiar with the deal.
The sale ties real estate developer Richard Lewis’ June purchase of another Beverly West penthouse for the most expensive condo sale in L.A. County this year, records show. The two sales are the most paid for a condo in the Los Angeles area since 2010, when Candy Spelling purchased a two-floor penthouse at the Century building in Century City for about $35 million.
No expense has been spared in the penthouse’s state-of-the-art bathrooms either. Clad in swaths of marble, this scheme is the ultimate indulgent spa, complete with a storage island and a freestanding bathtub. We can’t imagine a more perfect spot to soak up those dreamy vistas…
Bigger than your average mansion, the expansive pad in LA’s exclusive Beverly West building spans an astonishing 8,200 square feet and was designed to make the most of the LA landscape. Offering panoramic views across the city’s glistening skyline, the contemporary home is light and pared-down, with minimalist finishes and a clean color palette – a theme in each of the singer’s homes.
From its 11-foot ceilings to its walnut accents, natural stone floors and wall-to-wall glass, the luxurious penthouse is as breathtaking as it is expensive. Covering the entirety of the 18th floor, the house offers four bedrooms, an open-plan great room, a chic chef’s kitchen and two balconies overlooking Los Angeles.
As a full-time resident of the building, The Weeknd also has access to 24/7 security, which was no doubt a draw for the property. Yet such opulence doesn’t come cheap and residential charges reportedly mount up to $6,800 per month, a drop in the ocean for the superstar.
However, it’s a small price to pay for living in the lap of luxury. Complete with gray herringbone wood flooring and a wood-effect feature wall, this stylish bedroom suite wows with a glass-lined bay window that looks out over picturesque green landscapes.

While Beverly West has no end of plush amenities, the penthouse itself features a private home gym so the star can work out in perfect privacy. There’s even a flat-screen TV to keep him motivated! But life wasn’t always this lavish for the acclaimed musician.
With a net worth of around $100 million, it’s no wonder The Weeknd has plenty of cash to spend on real estate. Over the years the ‘Starboy’ singer has lived in some pretty perfect properties, including a 5,000-square-foot apartment in Manhattan. However, the star’s roots are far more modest. Born Abel Tesfaye in Toronto, Canada, the 31-year-old musician has come a long way since he began his career on YouTube in 2010.
Hilton & Hyland’s Bill Simpson, who is an exclusive listing agent for the Beverly West, said people are starting to recognize and appreciate the perks, privacy and location afforded by high-rise living.
And it’s not just older homebuyers who are buying into the lifestyle.
“When you have a buyer like [Tesfaye], it speaks to the market,” Simpson said. “The younger generation is getting hip to vertical living.”
Tesfaye’s penthouse was one of four that hit the market in August and carried a price tag north of $23 million. Occupying the top floors of the 22-story high-rise, each penthouse was designed to fit a certain personality and features a unique design with curated materials and distinct color palettes.
The penthouse Tesfaye purchased is called the “Mogul” and boasts a dark, masculine palette of deep navy blue complemented by walnut wood paneling. The 8,215-square-foot residence also has a designer kitchen, imported wide-plank oak floors, high-end fixtures and direct elevator access. Walls of floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views in nearly every direction.
“This penthouse was designed for a mogul, and it’s a mogul who is buying it,” said building project manager Eric Jencks.
Jencks said Tesfaye fits a similar profile to others who have bought in the building: individuals who don’t want to be in a homogeneous living space, but also don’t want to lose the privacy offered by an estate or single-family home.
“The Beverly West has no common areas besides the amenities floor,” he said. “Every owner goes up on their short elevator ride to their own airspace.”
The Beverly West building, developed by United Arab Emirates real estate company Emaar Properties, has 35 units and features a 24-hour concierge, a gym and a saltwater swimming pool. On the rooftop is a helipad.
Jeff Hyland and Susan Pekich of Hilton & Hyland shared the listing with Simpson. Angel Salvador of The Agency represented Tesfaye in the sale.
