In Spike Lee’s highly anticipated film “Highest 2 Lowest,” Denzel Washington plays hip-hop mogul David King, who resides in an apartment befitting the character’s status.
According to the Robb Report, the opening scene of Lee’s film begins with Washington appearing on the balcony of a penthouse that is on sale for $17.5 million. It was initially listed for $19.5 million earlier this year.
The five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom apartment is 4,928 square feet and occupies the entire 32nd floor of the Olympia Dumbo building in Brooklyn, New York City. The apartment offers stunning views of the Big Apple and even features a private 552-square-foot terrace.
The apartment also has a laundry room with a washer and dryer, and three of the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms. The penthouse is also accessible via key elevator access only, which is ideal for someone looking to maintain their anonymity, Carl A. Ekroth, associate broker on The Jessica Peters Team at Douglas Elliman, tells CNBC Make It.
“Olympia Dumbo is the highest residential building in historic Dumbo, but what I always like to say is that even though it’s 33 stories tall, we only have 76 apartments in the building, so it feels a lot more boutique than our height would suggest,” he adds.
