Howard Stern's House
New York, NY
The Story
Howard Stern is the radio host who billed himself as the King of All Media, and he moved his show to satellite radio in 2006. The 1997 film Private Parts told his rise.
This tower went up in 1994 on a full city block, replacing a 4-story post office from 1955. Its bulk drew protests, and critic Brendan Gill objected to its scale and mix of uses.
The base holds a 12-screen movie complex with an IMAX theater, a health club, and shops. CityRealty ranks it the Upper West Side's most important mixed-use tower until a rival rose at Columbus Circle about a decade later.
A 2025 magazine profile has Stern starting on the 54th floor in 1998 with 3 condos for $6M. City deeds from that September show 2 condos going to the LLC that later bought the floor below.
The expansion closed on December 18, 2007, not in 2008 as later coverage says, with a $15.1M deed for the floor below. That same profile counts 2 condos there, while the deed lists 3 units.
A Fox News column in April 2002 had the penthouse on the market for $16M, against under $6M paid. City records show no deed out of the LLC for these floors since, so no sale followed.
Beth Stern told the Long Island Press in 2019 that the couple's Manhattan apartment has a foster room for rescue cats. She counted 25 fosters during the previous summer's kitten season.
