Is Kelly Ripa the New Donald Trump?
Thursday, December 08, 2005, by Joey

In case you haven't been paying close attention, Kelly Ripa bought the 6,700-square-foot Soho loft on Crosby Street that Nicole Kidman had been living in. The price was somewhere around $9 million. Ripa and her family had actually been living in the same building, in a full-floor three-bedroom loft just one floor below (see pics, above), so once the deal was sealed on Kidman's spot they put the old place on the market for $7.5 million. OK, now that you're caught up, the Observer's Michael Calderone reports two new pieces of fascinating information. (1) After just four weeks on the market, Ripa's old place has gone under contract, and (2) the couple had bought the place in 2002 for just $2.8 million. Now, they did put in $860,000 to renovate the place, but still, that's quite the power play. Over $3 million in profit in just three years? Here's something we never thought we'd say: Kelly Ripa, Curbed salutes you.

Kelly Ripa Rakes It In

By Michael Calderone

While murmurs of a downturn contort brokers’ usually plasticene enthusiasm for the state of the real-estate market, Kelly Ripa continues to smile and rake it in as though it’s all just a bad dream grown-ups have.

Last summer, the perky talk-show host and her husband, Mark Consuelos, bought a Soho duplex for $9.5 million. It was just one floor above the full-floor loft the couple had purchased for $2.8 million in 2002. But rather than creating an awe-inspiring triplex, the couple put their full-floor loft on the market for an eye-popping $7.5 million.

That was on Oct. 26. Now, less than four weeks later, the 5,000-square-foot apartment is under contract with a finance professional. (Wall Street bonus bounce, perhaps?)

Although Ms. Ripa’s broker refused to tell The Observer the final selling price, a source confirmed that it sold at asking or slightly less.

How’d she turn an almost $5 million profit on the apartment in three years?

“I had seen the other lofts in the area, and I don’t fool around,” said listing broker Alida Rubin of the Corcoran Group. “It was priced right, and it was in new condition.”

The 5,000-square-foot condo includes three bedrooms, three and a half baths, a library/den, office and small gym. It also features 22 oversized windows and sleek appliances by Sub Zero and Gaggenau.

“This loft reflected two beautiful people,” said Ms. Rubin. “It was immaculate.”

And the buyer apparently agreed—at least about the “immaculate” refurbishment.

“I had a buyer that was very anxious to secure something in a short amount of time,” said broker Neil Levine, also of the Corcoran Group. “He didn’t want a project, and the renovation on this was exquisite.”

Architect Deborah Berke was hired to do the renovation at an estimated cost of $860,000, according to permits filed with the Department of Buildings. Ms. Berke’s firm was recently employed to design the new Marianne Boesky Gallery in Chelsea, as well as complete work on another flashy residential project—Jon Stewart’s $5.8 million duplex in Tribeca.


But the buyer wasn’t chasing after celebrity leftovers; he was actually unaware of who the owner was when he put in an offer, according to both brokers. The buyer also didn’t know that the Soho building once housed Nicole Kidman and is currently home to film mogul Harvey Weinstein, who purchased a 5,000-square-foot loft a few floors down for around $7 million last spring.

I say good for the Consueli! There's no doubt they are making money in real estate by buying and selling in Manhattan, esp. Soho, but it takes money to make money, and they certainly have enough of it (and plenty of "cajones") to be aggressive with their investments.

Some of you will say sour grapes, but I say I'm just lending some reality to this picture:
Some very nice comments, albeit from agents who are adept at kissing their clients' butts. Just a note of caution about reporting final selling price while a sale is still pending....most agents won't do it. <SPAMSPAMSPAM source confirmed that >> basically the equivalent of reading a tabloid article. Also, there's no way anyone can confirm the $860,000 figure for renovation without Mark or Kelly's input, and it doesn't look like they went on record for these articles.

[DKLA]

Rock on and move on up!

That's all very true, Mark and Kelly are the only ones who know for sure... And there's no guarantee the contract won't fall through until it's signed, sealed and delivered...

Though, actually they did source that figure, but they certainly can't know what the architect charged, or if it came in on budget or not...

So she paid 9mil for another one, nothing great here.

I can sell my home here for 6 times what it cost 15 years ago, but I would have to pay the same inflated price to buy another and the view would not
be as great.

So, unless I want to leave the beach and move to a totally different location, I will have made no money.

Since Kelly did not move down, she made no great investment. IMO

I guess you must be talking about yourself. You (we know who you are) are the biggest idiot of all. You have to be unstable to worship those two.

[PK...]

Ah, but, Shell, you didn't buy your house for it's investment value... That's the difference... If you had, you would have turned it for a bigger and better place years ago...

That M&K completely renovated the first loft, and then bought the new one as bare space and renovated it, "kinda sorta" makes me think they are buying, fixing and moving for the investment potential...

And to "I agree".... What is there to uproot? They are in the same building... They have the same neighbors... Their kids go to the same school, have their same friends, and probably all the same stuff from their rooms... A

Hmmm... Unstable? Well, let's see... Married 10 years, three kids - non out of wedlock, both employed and seemingly very happy... Both have excellent work ethic, and are not afraid to poke fun at themselves... And all this in a profession where willy nilly mating and breeding, drug abuse, etc., runs rampant...

Yes, you're right... They are extremely "unstable"... <<wink>>

Thanks, lmr. I was hoping one of you would come clean as to who would commit an illegal act just to find information out on us posters.

You would have to agree that the person/persons went way over the line on that, don't you?

[PK...]

Buzz off, V...

Nobody did a license plate search on you... Are you feeling left out? And as far as one of you contending there were any "illegal" searches done on any of you, you evidently don't know beans about the law...

You seem to be reinventing yourself once again... Now, after all these years, you are suddenly Violet, and you DO have vanity plates that say Vlanj1 and Vlanj2... How convenient that you suddenly reverse yourself when there is some perceived advantage for you... I seriously doubt you "lied" back then when I joked about your User Name, but I have no doubt you are lying now, about a lot of stuff...

And, I wonder if you ever read the "Terms of Use" for the Yahoo groups... It specifically says that taking information from the groups and posting elsewhere is a direct violation.... Now perhaps THAT is closer to "illegal" behavior than googling - which is NOT illegal any way shape or form... And it seems there is a whole lot of that going on... "Then" and now.... As well as surreptiously intercepting someone's private email...

Tell me, was any license plate number posted? Of course not...

So just get over it Veronica/Violet/Vlanj1 and/or 2... As someone said earlier on this thread... You have made your point, time and time again, so you are now simply trying to create more of a problem...

When you can't get me to play your games, you go after another... Hey... When you apologize your your behavior, I will do the same...

Oh, and Merry Christmas...

I'm glad you finally responded PK.

You were the one interested in license plates, were you not?

You were also the one to post about llissaa's 'fleet' of vehicles.....color, make/model (forget which one....maybe both). How on earth would you 'know' that information?


Thanks a bunch for answering.

[lllissaa]

color, make, model, year, time of year purchased...........

whoever did the research for her made a "boo boo", though.....one car isn't a "fleet".........lol

[PK...]

LOLOL....

So are you telling me the information was correct, too?? Go figure.... My guesses are suddenly quite lucky, aren't they... And how curious, it is you posting the information so that everyone knows what your car looks like. I don't think I ever did that... Just those little cryptic hints that seems to be the way the game is supposed to be played... And now YOU are crying foul about that as well...

Next you will be posting your own license number and blaming me for that as well...

Geeze... I guess you three/uh, 4 are the only ones who are even allowed to play the game...

And I certainly don't remember posting anything about when you bought the car... Would you refresh my memory? ROFL....

So, you buzz off as well, Lisac...

Always spinning your web...........PK, you had someone illegally search someone's motor vehicle information.........aren't you ashamed of yourself? And not to mention the low life loser that would actually do it for you. My gosh......again, you honestly are an evil witch.

Come on..........you act like such a big hotshot on the boards.....tell everyone who helped you do the illegal search? Let's see if big 'ole PK can finally tell the truth for once.....or own up to her wrong doings.

[Since]

when is using "google" a crime? I use it all the time and if it's on the internet and "googleable", it's perfectly legal. Is anyone trying to hide something they've done illegally and they're afraid "google" will out them?

oh, my........you "guessed" the make, model, year, color, and time of year I bought the car? lol. You have quite a "gift". Geez!!!

[PK...]

I did not... How many times do I have to say there was NO illegal search done...

And when you can prove otherwise, get back to me... If I were you, I would consider your source a bit suspect... She has had way too many "honest mistakes" of late...

Oh, and LOLOL... Your comment on spinning is really laughable coming from the queen of stonewall and spin, and switch and bait, and spying and lying...

you can get pretty much any information you want off the web.

Very interesting read here. . . of course we knew the PU would do her dance around the illegal stuff.

And since she didn't respond on the other thread, I'll bring it up again--she's still trying to find stuff out--particularly about me. Any reason it was mentioned you'd be researching "Gails?" Hmm . . .

First it was the "hosie" now it's the "lusk"--YOU ARE ONE SICK NUTCASE!!

Isn't there enough "other" stuff you could be doing? Stuff for your daughters? Stuff for your grandkids? Stuff for your husband? Stuff for your animals?

Good grief woman, I don't know what you ever once "were," but holy crap, what a loser you are now!

And just so ya know PU--it is illegal to do unauthorized MV searches.
