Fashion mogul Elie Tahari is reportedly looking to unload two residential properties in the Hamptons, as part of a massive sell off of properties, according to the Post. The two homes are a $6.8 million Amagansett property and a yet-to-be-priced Sagaponack home that he purchased for $13.5 million, the first of which, a five-bedroom pad, was purchased in his wife, Rory’s, name. The news comes on the heels of widespread speculation that the couple is considering ending its 10-year marriage.

The 141 Prince Street co-op belonging to fashion designer Elie Tahari and his wife, Rory, is quietly on the market and could go for more than $22 million, sources told the Post. Tahari purchased the spot from media mogul Rupert Murdoch for $24.68 million in 2005. The four-story, 9,600-square-foot loft has three main bedrooms, three guest rooms, seven bathrooms, a screening room and an all-glass “sky room” that Elie uses as a yoga studio. The Soho building is a former chocolate factory, and is the second New York apartment the couple has put on the market in recent months. Rory sold her two-bedroom, 72 Mercer Street apartment earlier this month for $3.2 million and a representative for the family said she is looking for opportunities to invest. [Post]
