‘Cabaret’ Star Joel Grey’s Manhattan Loft Just Sold for $7.6 Million
- Broadway actor Joel Grey has sold his Manhattan loft for $7.6 million after owning it for nearly three decades.
After nearly three decades of ownership, legendary Broadway actor Joel Grey has officially offloaded a Manhattan loft he acquired back in 1999 for around $1.6 million shortly after it was newly built. As first reported by Crain's New York Business , the industrial-chic residence traded hands in a hush-hush off-market deal in mid-February, going to an entity tied to the LLC Bring It Hudson for $7.6 million. The listing was held by Tamer Howard of Corcoran, with Philip Tabor of Corcoran repping the buyer.
Sited on a full floor within architect/developer Cary Tamarkin's 11-story, nine-unit CT Architect-designed boutique building at 495 West Street, between Jane and West 12th streets—where photographer Annie Leibovitz also had a place before selling it last year for $8 million—Grey's home has two bedrooms and an equal number of baths. A little more than 3,000 square feet of open-concept living space boasts exposed concrete floors, columns, and ceilings throughout.

At one end of the open-concept great room is a kitchen outfitted with a high-end Wolf range.
Two access-controlled elevators open into a large gallery-style foyer, which leads to a sprawling great room spotlighted by a 64-foot expanse of steel casement windows offering west-facing views of the Hudson River and surrounding parkland. A dining area is tucked off to one side of the living area, while a kitchen on the opposite end has wooden countertops, a walk-in pantry, and a breakfast nook.
The primary bedroom hosts a large walk-in closet/dressing room, as well as a spa-inspired bath equipped with a monolithic concrete-encased soaking tub and a separate shower. The en suite guest bedroom was converted into an office. There's also an in-unit laundry room, along with access to amenities such as a 24-hour doorman courtesy of a $3,961 monthly common charge.
An oversized concrete soaking tub serves as a centerpiece of the primary bath.

Probably best known for winning a 1967 Tony and a 1973 Oscar for his portrayal of the Master of Ceremonies in the musical Cabaret —and also being the father of Dirty Dancing star Jennifer Grey—he told the New York Times in a 2022 interview that he was originally drawn to the loft because of its floor plan and the "wet-clay" possibilities of a new-construction building. "It was about open space, which I found so alluring, and about the mystery of how to make it a home," Grey said. "It was an adventure."
