Demi Moore Asks $75 Million For Big Apple Triplex

The New York Post reported today that Demi Moore quietly wants an astonishing $75 million for her triplex digs at the twin-towered and celeb-approved San Remo building on Central Park West. That's right, puppies, $75 million. The sky-high price—which, according to the kids at Curbed, makes it a contender for the highest price co-operative sale ever—includes a ground floor two bedroom apartment for staff and/or guests.

Details about Miz Moore's triplex are—at best—slim, but last year tongues wagged when it became tabloid fodder that Miz Moore wanted her much younger third husband, actor/producer/tech investor Ashton Kutcher, to cough up an unknown but probably giant wad to cover unspecified renovation costs.

Over the years the San Remo has been home to scads and scores of rich and famous folk including (but hardly limited to) Dustin Hoffman, Steven Martin, Steven Spielberg, Glenn Close, Donna Karan, Tiger Woods, Diane Keaton, Princess Yasmin Aga Kahn and her mother, Rita Hayworth. Steve Jobs owned and renovated but never moved into a duplex penthouse he sold to U2's uni-monikered frontman Bono who later did legal battle with his 1980s rocker neighbor Billy Squier over fireplace smoke. Last December (2013) investor/philanthropist Robert Wilson jumped to his death from one of the three terraces of his 16th floor apartment that's currently listed for $25 million.

Miz Moore's property portfolio currently includes a contemporary, canyon side house on a gated, celebrity-lined road in the Beverly Hills Post Office area that she bought in April 2003 for $3.15 million and had worked over by high-octane designer Brad Dunning and much-lauded architects Ron Radziner and Leo Marmol. She formerly shared property with Mister Kutcher and had it photographed for Architectural Digest (March, 2007). As far as we know, she also continues to own a slew of property in and around Hailey, ID.

oh Mama! floor plans for this or Bono's tower apartment? or perhaps descriptions of the 3 floors if possible?

Mama, may we do away with "fodder"? Why do we have to get into peoples lives? She was legally wed to Kutchner and had a very respectable private divorce. Afford them the same respect as the gentleman on Further Lane.

Apparently she took THE penthouse in the south tower (a duplex with no terrace) and combined it with the chopped up duplex below her, resulting in three floors with no outdoor space in a co-op in the middle of the upper west side.
Good luck, ho!

This is PART of the apartment

All of these units except for the top floors (apparently demis apartment) were split up into full floor simplexes after the building was completed.

The link you included specifies that there is a terrace on 26/27.
Its clear to everyone here you haven't the slightest clue as to what you're talking about.

I dunno if i'd call the divorce respectable... she went out and snorted coke and partied with her kids all night long!

Anonymous said...

4:25, You must be new around here. Fodder is and has always been part Mama's thing.

P.S. These two did not have a very respectable private divorce. Like 6:30 said, she was out partying with her kids in very public places so...

Dear Mama , LGB and other longtime readers

i have long thought that these old photos (which i will try to link here), are old photos of what is now Demi Moore's Triplex atop the San remo

and i think the very top floor of this triplex is a very tall ceilinged space -with very few windows- and makes the "Base" of the Temple atop the tower of the san remo.

please check out the linked photos of what looks like child "play rooms" with different 'fantasy' motifs such as a circus tent motif, garden motif and etc in those other photos -and note my other link which displays other rooms in this Apartment located at 145 CPW.

what do you all think?

Note property owner and Address :)
Theodore C. Wiehe [residence],

see how tall the ceilings are in these areas ? and the lack of windows?

http://collections.mcny.org/C.aspx?VP3=CMS3&VF=SearchDetailPopupPage&VBID=24UAYWNW9HZ1&PN=13&IID=2F3XC5UJ6VAG

and finally searched for all rooms listed as the Weiss residence

http://collections.mcny.org/C.aspx?VP3=SearchResult_VPage&VBID=24UAYWNW9HZ1&SMLS=1&RW=933&RH=603

see the staircase photo ?
and see the 2 living room photos? they match the known floor plans of this tower.

what do you all think?

another area in that tall ceilinged floor

So what do you all think?
could this apartment be the Triplex atop the San Remo tower/temple base?

Yeah, I'm all for fodder too. I'm not sure if the above commenter was insinuating that Mama might be favoring homosexual couples over the hetero kind, but, in the case of the Further Lanes, I think fodder was an integral part of that narrative.

I remember as a kid going up to the duplex in one of the San Remo towers that belonged to the legendary producer Robert Stigwood. (And btw, it was all on the up and up -- best friend's brother worked for him.)

I had never been in such a major apartment before.

9:29 I have been around here before you were shoveling cow dung and watching silence of the lambs (hoping to be Clarice one day)as a little girl. I know exactly what this site is for.

Wait, so she's got a wrap around terrace?
Someone here and on curbed said she has no outdoor space, but was at the top of the south tower with three floors.
And I do hope she restored that circus room.

Anonymous said...

The third floor, added to create the triplex, is the "storage/mechanical" space located above the existing duplex. That level has an extensive terrace. You can see it in the tower pics. From what I've read, says third floor took "part of" that upper storage level.

I don't see any signs of life up there, like furniture or greenery, so if they have that terrace, it's not being utilized.

5:58, Love the link. I think there was an error made by whoever typed the description for floors 26 & 27 having a terrace cause clearly they don't (or at least I don't think so). Your floor plan is certainly the footprint for the first two floors. It's always fun to see how these units were originally laid out. Thanks.

I'm in fodder love with this building. I could care less about this owner. Though I'm not beneath fodder generally speaking ;)

Woah, 6:12. Relax. Group hug, okay?

Me again (7:01)
Just found a rear elevation for the tower. There may be bitsy terraces on the back corners. So my speculated typo may not be a typo after all. Not a big deal one way or the other.

You sure? Theres actually two floors above that setback in the south tower.
And it doesn't look like any of the people in this building like going outside, so many empty terraces.
But you can see doors leading outside from both of the tower penthouses.
It looks like the northern ph has double height ceilings.

I think this photo might shut us all up.

The top three floors of the south tower all have the same shades in the windows and they're all pulled down.

the real estate agents and literature have long been playing fast and loose with the details of these penthouses -including how many Floors exist in the 2 towers of the San Remo!

take a good look at photos of the exterior of the San Remo. the literature mentions 10 floors a lot... but that is not accurate.

there are not 10 floors in each tower. there are 13+ floors Plus the Temple/s in each tower.

Maximize the size of this linked photo of the top floor/s plus Temples. Note that 3 sides on both towers have a Green colored copper-covered half~circle 'dormer' just above a small round/oval window. ( located Just below those red-colored roof lines. (note the 4th side in other photos shows a Door located on same level as those copper/dormer windows).

Maximize this photo to see more details.

Next link that some one else provided the other day shows many great photos of exterior of san remo from near and far. Note the photos that include the entire lenght of the towers. if you literally count how many floors in tower from the 'base' up
its not 10 stories but rather many more.

http://www.nyc-architecture.com/UWS/UWS021.htm


the San Remo *towers themselves consist of:

10 stories from the base up to the set-back
PLUS the set back/terrace of 3 floors (including copper dormer windows floor)
PLUS above that is another set-back that starts with the 'base' of the Temple (Which must include another interior /floor/space regardless of what is in it or who has acces to it...)
and plus then the many levels of the "Temple/s themselves.

and to be clear:
the Bono apartment and the Demi apartments ORIGINALLY started from the Set-back on up.
EG) the 11th and 12th floors of each tower
AKA the set-back-floors (with resulting terraces) are the original Tower-penthouses

I think the "Circus" room photos
-including the very high ceilings (about 16 feet) and placement of that one window (about half way up the wall) in the interior photo
means the Original *South Tower
(EG now Demi's) also included a higher 3rd floor (eg the Copper Dormer round windows shown in photo linked above

all rooms listed as the Weiss residence

How is it known that Theodore C. Wiehe owned the south tower penthouse? Beyond establishing that, is there any mention of that being a triplex?

Anonymous said...

@3:57: because the address is 145 CPW, the same as that of the south tower, and because that is the only remaining tower duplex, so it would have that staircase. It has been well known for years that Bruce and Demi expanded into the "attic" just as Steve Jobs did in the North Tower. So that gives Demi 3 floors (top is double height) with a gynormous terrace (Ashton posted a picture of him sitting up there a few years ago). It is one of the most spectacular apartments in New York and there is practically a waiting list of buyers- but I dont believe for a second that Demi is selling or wants 75 million.

Wrong on all counts

$75M for 7,000 square feet. Doing the math, that's $10,700 per square foot -- even when factoring the intrinsic attributes.

... Even when factoring the intrinsic attributes, that's pretty lofty.
