Fashion titan Giorgio Armani had plans to move into a pied-à-terre within Giorgio Armani Residences, the designer’s eponymous building on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, before his death at the age of 91 last September. Now, the never-lived-in Giorgio Armani apartment has hit the market, priced at $9.95 million, and its future owner has the chance to discover whether an Armani suite fits as well as an Armani suit.
New York architecture firm COOKFOX built the 12-floor structure that opened last year at 760 Madison Avenue. It combines retail spaces, a restaurant, and bespoke condos, all under the Armani brand. The Giorgio Armani apartment, a 2,005-square-foot residence with two bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, is accessed via a semi-private elevator that deposits guests in a gallery foyer lined with limestone slab floors. Deeper within the apartment is a nearly 500-square-foot living room, boasting custom white oak parquet floors and eight-foot-tall windows. A dining area connects the living space and the corner kitchen, which features minimal white oak cabinetry, custom-designed by Italian brand Molteni.
Of course, a fashion icon’s primary suite wouldn’t be complete without a spacious walk-in closet, and this home is no exception to that rule. Accessed through the dressing room, the ensuite bathroom is lined in Brazilian Quartzite Acqua stone, a dual sink vanity, a glass-walled shower, a soaking tub, a heated towel rail, and radiant heated floors. The secondary bedroom also has a spa-like, stone-wrapped bathroom to call its own.
Owners in the building also have access to communal spaces and amenities, including a gym, a spa treatment room, a library furnished in custom Armani/Casa pieces, a landscaped terrace, and a Zen tearoom with service provided by Armani/Ristorante on the building’s ground floor. The structure’s first two levels are also home to a Giorgio Armani boutique, while the third floor hosts an Armani/Casa store.
Madeline Hult Elghanayan and Sabrina Saltiel of Douglas Elliman are representing the home.
