Ricky Martin’s apartment, measuring approximately 292 square meters, occupies the entire seventh floor of a building located at 170 East End Avenue.
Ricky Martin’s apartment was originally listed for sale in 2017 for $8.4 million, but it was eventually taken off the market and relisted several times. In September, it reappeared with the price reduced to $6.45 million, information initially reported by Gimme and later echoed by The Richest.
The singer and songwriter, winner of two Grammy Awards, purchased the apartment in 2012 for $5.9 million. The project bears the signature of renowned architect Peter Marino and features striking elements of high-end residential architecture in Manhattan, such as floor-to-ceiling windows approximately three meters high, wood flooring, and an open-concept layout that integrates the living and dining rooms into a spacious, continuous environment.
The gourmet kitchen, equipped with custom cabinetry designed by Marino, is located next to the main social area. The apartment has four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, two of which are full primary suites with spacious walk-in closets and spa-style bathrooms. A fifth room functions as a flexible space and can be adapted as a nursery, office, media room, or library.
Completed in 2008, the building is located near Carl Schurz Park and offers panoramic views of the East River — a highly valued feature in New York’s luxury real estate market. According to The Richest, the building’s architecture reflects the post-2000 contemporary style found in Manhattan’s most prestigious neighborhoods, with a modernist-inspired façade and clean lines.
The waterfront location, combined with proximity to green areas, contributes to the high demand for properties in the region, especially among buyers seeking a balance between nature and urban life. Real estate records also indicate that Ricky Martin maintains an active portfolio in the U.S. luxury market. On the West Coast, he owns a mid-20th-century residence in Beverly Hills and previously owned another property on Davies Drive, currently listed for approximately $49.95 million.
