A penthouse once owned by pop superstar Lady Gaga has hit the New York City market for $6.995 million. The four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom duplex is located in The Hit Factory Condominium in Hell's Kitchen, a building renowned for its musical history.
The approximately 3,700-square-foot residence spans the top two floors of the building and features expansive skyline views from its interiors and an 1,100-square-foot private rooftop terrace. The building itself was once home to one of the city's most celebrated recording studios, The Hit Factory, which hosted legendary artists including Michael Jackson, John Lennon, Madonna, and the Rolling Stones.
The recording studio ceased operations in 2005 and was subsequently converted into a 27-unit condominium. Lady Gaga resided in the penthouse while composing her second studio album, "Born This Way," released in 2011. The property has a previous sales history, having been sold for $6.2 million in 2015.
This latest listing features a contemporary renovation while maintaining the residence's considerable scale. The interior includes a double-height foyer with a large skylight, white oak plank flooring, and a main living area with 12-foot ceilings and nine-foot windows offering Manhattan views. The adjacent kitchen has been updated with white marble countertops, streamlined cabinetry, and high-end appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Viking range.
The main level includes two bedroom suites, each with a full bathroom and custom wardrobe space. A glass-enclosed office could also serve as a fourth bedroom. Practical amenities like a full-size washer and dryer and built-in storage are also present.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers ample space for sleeping and seating areas, along with a separate workspace. The en-suite bathroom features marble finishes, a deep soaking tub, and a glass-enclosed shower. The residence also includes deeded parking, a valuable amenity in Manhattan.
Building amenities for residents include a full-time doorman, a live-in resident manager, a gym, and additional storage. The building permits pets and pied-à-terre ownership. Monthly common charges are listed at $4,388, with monthly property taxes of $5,854.
The condominium is situated near Central Park, Columbus Circle, Lincoln Center, and Times Square, with convenient access to multiple subway lines. The listing agents are Lydia Sussek, Pamela Nichols, and David Troutman of Douglas Elliman.
