Designer Playhouse Apartments

Inside Kenneth Cole's Central Park Condo

— December 30, 2008 — Luxury
Designer Kenneth Cole owns two apartments and needs to peddle his penthouse quickly. He bought the penthouse in 1985 for the four bedroom home with 1,000 square feet of outdoor area, but is asking $16,950,000 for the space for a quick sale. Oh yeah, you can pick up a maid's apartment in the same building if that is a concern.

Implications - Anything that has been owned by an iconic celebrity or cultural figure instantly becomes more valuable, and it's becoming increasingly common for high-profile sales like this one to dominate the media when they occur. It is highly likely that businesses will emerge that seek to facilitate these kinds of major resale events.
Trend Themes
1. Celebrity-owned Real Estate - The resale value of real estate owned by celebrities or cultural icons is expected to rise, leading to the emergence of businesses facilitating major resale events.
2. Luxury Real Estate Market - The luxury real estate market is seeing an increase in high-profile sales, with designer Kenneth Cole's penthouse being an example, creating opportunities for businesses catering to this demographic.
3. Unique Property Features - Design features such as the 1,000 sq ft outdoor area in Kenneth Cole's penthouse apartments are becoming increasingly sought-after in the luxury real estate market, presenting opportunities for innovative property developers.
Industry Implications
1. Real Estate - The real estate industry can expect to see an increase in sales and demand for unique and luxury properties, creating opportunities for new businesses in property development, management, and resale.
2. Marketing and Advertising - The marketing and advertising industry can capitalize on the high-profile sales of celebrity-owned real estate, offering services to property developers, real estate agents, and auction houses for promoting and managing these events.
3. Hospitality and Tourism - Luxury real estate with unique features such as outdoor areas can be repurposed as hospitality or tourism destinations, creating innovative business opportunities in the hospitality and tourism industry.
