The co-owner of the famous Nobu restaurant then bought an apartment in Central Park West for the tidy sum of 23 million dollars. Almost nothing has leaked out about the luxury apartment, which is located on the fifth floor, but in 2012 it made headlines when it was completely devastated, along with part of the building, by a fire caused by a faulty dryer. If De Niro and his family were abroad at the time of the events, the neighborhood testified to the disaster: ” Right above my head, flames 3 meters high burst from the window of the fifth floor “explained a man. After the tragedy, De Niro had to find other places to put his suitcases while waiting for the apartment to be renovated.
2012: a duplex in Greenwich village
The actor and his wife Grace Hightower then rent a superb duplex in Greenwich Village. The 1920s building was originally a maraschino cherry factory, so the layout of the place is quite unique.

Five bedrooms and four bathrooms are spread over an area of more than 1000 square meters, to which are added 480 square meters of private outdoor space. The couple lived there for two years.

2014: a penthouse at the top of the Greenwich Hotel
Robert De Niro’s next real estate adventure takes place at the top of the Greenwich Hotel, which he co-owns with Ira Druckier. The Hollywood icon enlists renowned Belgian designer Axel Vervoordt and Japanese architect Tatsuro Miki to create a penthouse suite inspired by the traditional Japanese concept of wabi, which revolves around the idea of finding beauty in imperfection. The elegant aesthetic of the 630 square meter property emphasizes neutral color palettes and the use of wood, stone and other reclaimed materials. « The industrial treatment of the top is in perfect harmony with the building below “, specifies Mr. Axel Vervoordt about the marriage between the hotel and the penthouse which overhangs it. The apartment, with its three bedrooms and two bathrooms, is available for rent, but it’s a safe bet that Robert De Niro occupies it when he sees fit.
