The stellar skypad has been empty, devoid of occupancy, ever since he moved out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo one has lived there since Sting,\u201d listing broker Michael Lorber, of Douglas Elliman, told Gimme Shelter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sting was one of the first homeowners at 15 Central Park West.

Tim Waltman of Evan Joseph Studios<\/p>\n<p>That $45 million ask is $5 million\u00a0less\u00a0than what the sellers paid when they bought it from Sting and Trudie Styler back in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The spread is on the 16th and 17th floors of <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/12\/02\/real-estate\/inside-the-legacy-of-robert-a-m-stern\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">15 Central Park West<\/a>,\u00a0the iconic Robert A.M. Stern-designed residential building.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While the two-towered limestone structure was positively swoonworthy when it first launched in 2007, it has since been overshadowed by its taller relative, <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/04\/17\/media\/cnbc-anchor-rips-nyc-mayor-zohran-mamdani-for-filming-video-outside-billionaire-ken-griffins-penthouse\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">220 Central Park South<\/a>, which was also designed by Stern, and other new-construction luxury condos.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless 15 CPW is still known as one of the city\u2019s best trophy buildings. Past and present residents have included Robert De Niro, Denzel Washington, Mark Wahlberg, Kelsey Grammer, Alex Rodriguez and NASCAR champ Jeff Gordon.<\/p>\n<p>Sting, using his full name, Gordon Summer, bought the residence for $27 million from the sponsor in 2007.<\/p>\n<p>A sculptural staircase connects the levels. Tim Waltman of Evan Joseph Studios<\/p>\n<p>The residence, where many touches from the couple\u2019s ownership remain, has tons of space for lounging. Tim Waltman of Evan Joseph Studios<\/p>\n<p>The kitchen is a true delight. Tim Waltman of Evan Joseph Studios<\/p>\n<p>Sting and Styler then hired Lee Mindel to design the interiors. That means whoever buys the penthouse gets it with Sting and Styler\u2019s personal custom touches \u2014 including a round gas fireplace in the great room that remains intact.\u00a0Sting first listed the penthouse for $56 million in 2017, before selling it a year later for $50 million. The owners appear to be Asian investors, sources say.<\/p>\n<p>The lofty residence also comes with permit plans to redesign the space from British architect Lord Norman Foster, 90, of Foster\u00a0+ Partners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe plans are in place but they were never done,\u201d Lorber said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The three- to four-bedroom penthouse is in the House section of the tower, and it comes with more than 44 feet of frontage overlooking Central Park.<\/p>\n<p>The aerie features dazzling views from two floors and a 400-square-foot terrace.\u00a0Currently set up as a three-bedroom, it also comes with a large home office that could also function as a fourth bedroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The master bedroom also overlooks verdant views of the park. Tim Waltman of Evan Joseph Studios<\/p>\n<p>The space lends itself to indoor\/outdoor living. Tim Waltman of Evan Joseph Studios<\/p>\n<p>Private outdoor space also looks out to the park and Billionaires\u2019 Row. Tim Waltman of Evan Joseph Studios<\/p>\n<p>At 5,417 square feet, it all opens from a semi-private elevator landing to a large foyer that \u201ccan easily hold\u201d more than 100 people for cocktails in this space alone, Lorber said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The foyer also holds a\u00a0sculptural staircase, and leads to a large living room with floor-to-ceiling French doors that open to a terrace with park views.\u00a0An open fireplace divides the living room from the sitting area, which features built-in bookcases.<\/p>\n<p>The home also boasts a library with built-in bookshelf walls. There\u2019s also an open dining room\/media room and a streamlined chef\u2019s kitchen with its own spiral staircase that leads to the second level \u2014 also accessed by a separate entrance off the elevator. <\/p>\n<p>On the upper floor, a main bedroom suite overlooks Central Park and features two large\u00a0dressing rooms, two spa-like baths \u2014 one with serene park and city views \u2014 and a sauna.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 43-story building features just over 200 units. <\/p>\n<p>Amenities include a motor court, a skylit lap pool,\u00a0a business center and a private restaurant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s a rock star\u2019s museum.
