The Soho penthouse is located in an under-construction building on Broome Street, in a building designed by Pritzker Prize-winning Italian architect Renzo Piano. It was on the market for $40.5 million, The Wall Street Journal reported in April.

The four-bedroom apartment measures 6,655 square feet and will have a private elevator that opens into the unit, floor-to-ceiling windows and two terraces leading from the entertaining spaces. It also will have a rooftop terrace with a private 20-foot heated outdoor pool and an outdoor kitchen.
The building, which is slated to be completed by the end of the year, will include a private covered porte-cochere with a mechanical parking system that moves cars into a garage. There will also be a fitness center and a 55-foot pool.
Italian real-estate firm Bizzi & Partners Development is developing the project in partnership with Aronov Development and Halpern Real Estate Ventures. Douglas Elliman Development Marketing is leading sales at the building.
