Zayn Malik Sells SoHo Penthouse for $9.45 Million
Zayn Malik has just sold his SoHo penthouse after less than two years of ownership. The former boy bander bought the 3,597-square-foot bachelor pad for $10.61 million back in March 2018, shortly after he and Gigi Hadid split for the first time. A little over a year later, however, the couple had gotten back together and broken up numerous times more, and the “Pillowtalk” singer was ready to let go of the industrial loft.
Malik first listed the unit in August 2019 for $10.8 million, gradually lowering the asking price down to $10.2 million toward the end of last year. The four-bedroom, four-bathroom dwelling finally sold for $9.45 million in December, according to reports. Located in a former silk-manufacturing factory constructed in 1877, the penthouse is one of three units on the floor, and retains much of the building’s original industrial look and feel, with exposed brick, thick metal columns, and extra-high ceilings. The main living space is large enough to accommodate two separate seating areas, as well as a formal dining area just at the base of a set of stairs leading up to the 932-square-foot rooftop terrace.
The master suite is located in its own wing on one side of the home, and features a cavernous walk-in closet and brightly lit master bathroom with a subway tile–lined, glass-enclosed steam shower, marble-topped double vanity, and heated marble floors. Two of the three other bedrooms are en suite, with their own generous closet space and expansive views of the surrounding cityscape. The fourth bedroom, tucked on the opposite end of the penthouse loft, could easily be converted into a home office.
Late last year, the former One Direction member sold another one of his homes at a loss: a sprawling Bel Air mansion he bought for $3.1 million back in 2015 and let go of for $2.94 million.
It’s possible that the singer is looking to spend more time at his Pennsylvania farm, which he purchased on the advice of his ex’s mother, Yolanda Hadid. There, he told Billboard in 2017, “I do a lot of farm work. I take the horses out and feed the cows and that kind of stuff. It’s cool.”
