The apartment Giorgio Armani planned to call home has never been slept in.
The fashion designer was preparing to move into a custom two-bedroom residence at 760 Madison Avenue – his eponymous Giorgio Armani Residences building on Manhattan’s Upper East Side – before his death at 91 last September.
Now the 186-square-metre apartment has hit the market for US$9.95 million (roughly A$15.4 million), according to Architectural Digest, offering a rare chance to own a space conceived by Giorgio Armani for his own use but left untouched.
The 12-floor building, opened last year and combines retail, dining, and bespoke condominiums under the Armani brand. His apartment sits on the sixth floor – one of only two two-bedroom units in the building.
The living room spans nearly 46 square metres, with custom white oak parquet floors and 2.4-metre windows and a dining area connects to a corner kitchen featuring minimal white oak cabinetry.
The primary suite includes a walk-in closet leading to an ensuite lined in Brazilian Quartzite Acqua stone, with a dual-sink vanity, glass-walled shower, soaking tub, heated towel rail, and radiant floor heating. The secondary bedroom has its own stone-wrapped bathroom.
Building amenities include a gym, spa treatment room, a library furnished with custom Armani/Casa pieces, a landscaped terrace, and a Zen tearoom with service provided by Armani/Ristorante on the ground floor.
The first two levels house a Giorgio Armani boutique, while the third floor hosts an Armani/Casa store.
The 10 residences in the building sold out in mid-2024 for a combined US$168.2 million (AUD$260 million) – with full-floor four-to-five-bedroom residences priced from US$21.5 million (AUD$33.2 million) at launch, topped by a duplex penthouse with Central Park views. At US$9.95 million (AUD$15.4 million), this two-bedroom represents the entry point into that building.
The listing is being marketed by Madeline Hult Elghanayan and Sabrina Saltiel of Douglas Elliman.
