Hotelier André Balazs Checks Out of Manhattan Condo
Jeff Vasishta Hotelier and socialite André Balazs, known for his funky and fabulous celebrity packed hotels such as The Mercer in New York, Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles and The Standard in various locations around the world, plans to check out of his own, longtime Manhattan residence, having listed a chic 4,200-square-foot Soho loft for $12 million. This is, however, hardly the first time the 4-bed and 2.5-bath spread, which Balazs purchased in 2003 for $5.75 million, has come up for sale.
