Hugh Jackman Lists $40M Manhattan Penthouse

For over a decade, Hollywood superstar Hugh Jackman has held the keys to one of the most architecturally significant properties in downtown New York City.

Now, the X-Men and Broadway actor is inviting the next custodian to step into his sprawling three-story West Village compound, which has officially re-entered the luxury market with a revised asking price of USD $28.75 million (approximately AUD $41.5 million).

Jackman originally acquired the towering property in 2008 for USD $21.1 million. Serving as a long-time creative sanctuary and urban base for the award-winning Australian actor, the home stands as a definitive masterpiece of contemporary design, offering a level of privacy and cinematic scale rarely found in Manhattan.

Occupying the 8th, 9th, and 10th floors of an elite, 15-story high-rise, the property perfectly reflects the actor's affinity for expansive, light-filled spaces and bold design.

Envisioned by world-renowned architect Richard Meier, the residence perfectly mirrors Jackman's sleek, minimalist aesthetic. Spanning an immense 11,000 square feet (1,021 square meters) of pristine living space, the triplex's definitive crown-jewel feature is an expansive, double-height "great room." Wrapped entirely in dramatic floor-to-ceiling glass walls, this transparent design framework delivers the actor uninterrupted, panoramic vistas across the Hudson River and the Manhattan skyline stretching all the way to the Statue of Liberty.

The interior layout expertly segments grand, experiential entertaining zones from deeply private personal retreats across the three levels.

The lower tier (8th Floor) serves as a dedicated leisure zone, anchored by a vast recreation room, a private terrace, and a secluded library that easily converts into an additional guest suite. The entertaining hub (9th Floor) houses the central double-height great room, a formal dining space, a cosy den, a wine storage cell, and a state-of-the-art professional gourmet kitchen equipped with a separate butler's pantry.

Jackman's private sanctuary (10th Floor) is dedicated entirely to a primary residential suite, this top level functions as an autonomous retreat. It encompasses a sprawling main bedroom, an adjacent private home office/studio, dual dressing rooms, a luxurious spa bath, a fully equipped home gym, and a built-in sauna.

Beyond the private confines of the triplex, the building provides elite, white-glove security, a full-time doorman, concierge support, and a high-tech wellness centre—perfectly suited for an A-list lifestyle.
