Career moves and real estate moves often go hand-in-hand, do they not? And, after announcing plans to leave The Daily Show on December 8th, host and comedian Trevor Noah is looking to make his exit from this sumptuous New York City penthouse as well. Listing the fashionable pad for $12.95 million, Noah will make a tidy profit should it sell for asking.
Noah began hosting The Daily Show, which is filmed in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood, in 2015. It didn’t take long for him to zero in on this gorgeous penthouse nearby. According to Compass spokesperson Devin Daly Huerta, “The duplex was purchased for $10 million in 2017.”
When selecting the 3,596-square-foot stunner with three bedrooms, Noah couldn’t have known it would turn into his full-time filming space, too. When the show’s studio was shut down in 2020 during the pandemic, he was the first late-night host to turn to an at-home format. So, whoever buys the penthouse will also pocket a piece of late-night history.
Sitting on the 17th and 18th floors, one can take in majestic views of the concrete jungle from inside or out. There’s a stylish 1,000-square-foot terrace with a plunge pool perfect for moments of wellness. The interiors are also quite a sight if you love 15-foot ceilings, casement windows, arched doorways, and a chic mix of materials. The custom kitchen is especially eye-catching with polished marble slab countertops and cutting-edge appliances, while the sun-soaked great room also wows.
A desirable NYC address to keep, the building now called Stella Tower was originally built in 1927 by Art Deco architect Ralph Walker as the New York Telephone Building. It was restored and converted in 2014 architecture by CetraRuddy and design work by Jarvis Studio.
To nab Noah’s pristine unit, Nick Gavin and Allie Fraza of Compass hold the listing.
