And the shoe has finally dropped: Steve Madden sells UES townhouse
Buyer was an LLC tied to the Moinian Group
Shoe designer Steve Madden has finally sold his landmarked Upper East Side townhouse, which he had spent years piecing together with his now ex-wife.
A filing with the Department of Finance on Thursday showed the buyer, an LLC tied to the Moinian Group, dropped about $8.97 million for the property, located at 175 East 73rd Street.
Neither party could immediately be reached for comment.
The historic building was built over a century ago and is one of two remaining Italianate rowhouses on the north side of the street, according to a not-for-profit that works to preserve historic UES architecture.
Madden and his ex-wife, Wendy Ballew, over several years bought up the individual co-ops in the townhouse for $7.7 million, according to the Observer.
The couple divorced in 2015, but Madden had first put the 6,000-square-foot townhouse on the market in 2013, also for about $9 million, the outlet reported.
