Call Russell Simmons Your Neighbor at This $9.4 Million Downtown New York Loft

The apartment isn’t your typical cramped Manhattan space—it’s one of the largest units in the area

Moving into this New York loft means you’ll likely be seeing a lot of entrepreneur and author Russell Simmons—he lives in the penthouse. While that alone might be enticing enough, the Liberty Street space, one of the largest apartments in the Financial District—and one of eight full-floor units in the building—is pretty appealing all on its own, with 12-foot vaulted ceilings and an open floor plan. There’s a large eat-in chef’s kitchen, a home theater, a den with a fireplace, and an airy living-dining area, which features exposed columns and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Zuccotti Park and downtown Manhattan. In fact, the home has an impressive 29 windows in total.
