One of New York’s most iconic lofts, made famous by its appearance in the film “The Devil Wears Prada,” has just hit the market for $8.95 million.
Located in the upscale SoHo district, this loft embodies the glamour and exclusivity of Manhattan living.
A cinematic and design icon
The loft was used as the residence of designer James Holt (played by Daniel Sunjata) in the film, and served as the setting for one of the movie’s memorable scenes, where Anne Hathaway (Andrea Sachs) attends a lavish party and meets Christian Thompson (Simon Baker). Beyond its Hollywood connection, the property has a rich history rooted in design and fashion.
Ranked among the world’s top homes, the space has hosted events for emerging fashion brands and exclusive dinners curated by renowned chefs, including Michelin-starred Michel Bras.
Architecture and design: a sophisticated and timeless space
The loft retains classic SoHo features, including 13-foot ceilings, original Corinthian columns, and 10-foot windows that flood the space with natural light and offer views of the neighborhood’s historic architecture.
The previous owners, founders of the iconic concept store The Apartment, transformed the space into a contemporary retreat without sacrificing its historic character. The decor balances neutral tones with refined furnishings like layered sofas, marble tables, and elegant rugs — perfect for interior design lovers.
Highlights include:
- Custom fireplace with hand-crafted masonry
- Floating bookshelves and bespoke metallic finishes
- Exclusive Boffi kitchen designed by Marc Sadler, with Viking and Miele appliances
Master suite and building history
The master suite features a curved, walk-in closet, a marble-clad bathroom, a freestanding soaking tub, and a separate shower — combining luxury with comfort.
The building, originally a department store from the early 20th century, served as a warehouse for decades before being converted into a boutique condominium in 1999. Set on a charming cobblestone street, the property is steps away from SoHo’s best restaurants and luxury boutiques.
An exclusive opportunity in the New York real estate market
Whether for its cinematic legacy, impeccable design, or prime location, this loft represents the pinnacle of urban luxury. The property is listed by Brown Harris Stevens / Luxury Portfolio.
It’s a rare gem for anyone looking to experience the sophisticated Manhattan lifestyle in a home that offers history, style, and unmatched exclusivity.
