As Crain\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crainsnewyork.com\/real-estate\/billy-joel-sells-nolita-condo-daughter-alexa-ray-joel\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">first reported<\/a> and as records confirm, the Elizabeth Street apartment went for $4.5 million in a transaction between the two family members\u2019 trusts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.curbed.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmiesabdx001n3b78dfaoj66g@published\" data-word-count=\"87\">The singer first bought the place for $3.3 million in 2010 after a divorce from then-wife Katie Lee. From older staged photos, the 1,600-square-foot apartment looks like something a bachelor might pick up: There are dark herringbone floors, moldings and millwork that have been painted black, and a similarly moody black kitchen. The building, 211 Elizabeth Street, was a ground-up Roman and Williams project with seven stories and 15 units that\u2019s long been popular with celebrities like Karlie Kloss and Josh Kushner, Gabriel Byrne, and Elie Tahari.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.curbed.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmiesabg5001o3b782n57h48q@published\" data-word-count=\"88\">The transfer was largely a formality: Alexa, a downtown girl, appears to have been already living in the apartment for years. (Soon after Joel bought it, the New York Post <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2010\/03\/25\/movin-in\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reported<\/a> that his daughter was seen \u201cmoving out of her West Village digs.\u201d) The handover of 211 Elizabeth is just one of a few of Joel\u2019s recent real-estate moves: He has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/news\/celebrity-real-estate\/billy-joel-relists-long-island-main-home\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">trying to sell<\/a> his enormous Oyster Bay estate, and last year he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/news\/celebrity-real-estate\/billy-joel-buys-east-hampton-home\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">bought<\/a> a $10.7 million house in the Hamptons down the street from Alec Baldwin.<\/p>\n<p>          Sign Up for the Curbed Newsletter<\/p>\n<p>A daily mix of stories about cities, city life, and our always evolving neighborhoods and skylines.<\/p>\n<p>        Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n<p class=\"expanded-terms \" aria-hidden=\"true\">By submitting your email, you agree to our <a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/newyork\/terms\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Terms<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/newyork\/privacy\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Privacy Notice<\/a> and to receive email correspondence from us.<\/p>\n<p>  Related<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo: Myrna M.
