Carmelo Anthony
No surprise here: he’s not even a full week into his tenure as a New York Knick, but the real estate industry is already buzzing about where Carmelo Anthony is going to live. According to the Post, Melo is taking a page out of teammate Amar’e Stoudemire’s book by searching for a downtown rental apartment in the ballpark of $30,000 per month. (Stoudemire lives in a $37,500-a-month condominium in the West Village). Among the buildings he’s reportedly interested in are 158 Mercer Street, where Jon Bon Jovi lives, and Soho Mews at 311 West Broadway, where Justin Timberlake owns a penthouse. He’s also eyeing the West Village. So far, there’s been no word of LeBron James-scale incentives, but athletes are known to get discounts from developers looking to up their property’s cachet. [Post]
