Linda Evangelista has sold her longtime Chelsea penthouse loft in the Spears Building for $6.75 million, according to property records. The supermodel first listed the four-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment for nearly $9.5 million in 2024, then reduced the price to just under $8 million in January. The final sale price represents a nearly 30 percent cut from the original asking figure.
The 4,000-square-foot loft occupies a converted furniture warehouse where Evangelista had lived since 2001, when she reportedly paid $2.4 million. The apartment features polished concrete floors, exposed brick, butcher-block countertops, 13-foot ceilings with skylights, and a primary bedroom overlooking the High Line. The listing also emphasized a 2,500-square-foot roof terrace, though that space became a legal headache in 2015 when the condo board sought to impose the full $1.5 million roof replacement cost on the building's six penthouse owners. Evangelista and neighbors including former Rag & Bone co-CEO David Neville and makeup designer Gucci Westman challenged the allocation in court, and the case ended in an undisclosed settlement. She was also sued by the building in 2023 over an alleged $237,000 in unpaid condo fees and failure to maintain the apartment in "first-class condition"; that suit was also settled.
The sale still leaves Evangelista with a substantial gain over her reported 2001 purchase price, even after the price reduction and the earlier disputes. The apartment was in sufficient condition this past September that Keanu Reeves reportedly paid $45,000 a month to stay there with his partner, Alexandra Grant, during his Broadway run in Waiting for Godot. Evangelista appears to have already moved on: property records show she paid $5.2 million in March 2025 for a three-bedroom corner unit at 35 Hudson Yards, a highly amenitized building with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Hudson and an Equinox downstairs.
What remains unknown is the net financial outcome after the undisclosed roof settlement, the resolved condo fee litigation, and any renovation or carrying costs over more than two decades. Corcoran's Steve Gold, who held the listing, did not respond to requests for comment, leaving the terms and timing of the final negotiation unclear.
