Here's who's buying Andy Cohen's NYC penthouse
The year looks bright for Emmy-winning playwright Danny Strong, whose 'Chess' — the cult-favorite Cold War-era musical, with music from two members of ABBA — launches on Broadway this fall. But in the lead-up to the curtains opening, he'll also have a new home to call his own. Strong — also a screenwriter and actor recognizable for his roles in hit shows, like 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and 'Mad Men' — and his partner, the actor/producer Caitlin Mehner, are buying Andy Cohen's West Village penthouse duplex, Gimme Shelter can reveal. The power couple have inked a contract for the Bravo honcho's beautifully decorated 2 Horatio St. aerie and are planning to close later this month. The final price is not yet known.

It's also an ideal spot for Strong to find inspiration for new projects. Past work also includes the writing of two 'Hunger Games' movies, 'The Butler,' 'Recount,' and the series 'Empire' and 'Dopesick.'

Strong was represented by Douglas Elliman's Jonathan Stein. It took father-of-two Cohen an astonishing 21 years to acquire and assemble the penthouse, which has graced shelter magazines like Elle Decor. Cohen has since bought another penthouse for $18.21 million, according to property records, at the Emery Roth-designed 299 W. 12th St., where Jennifer Aniston once lived. In a small-city scenario, Strong is in contract to sell his apartment at 299 W. 12th St., which was listed by Stein, of Elliman, and Marcy J. Bloomstein, of Sotheby's International Realty. That two-bedroom, three-bath residence — overlooking Abingdon Square Park — was last asking $6.49 million. Its final sale price is also not yet known.

Andy Cohen has found a buyer for his lavish NYC home — a massive duplex he spent decades piecing together
The king of Bravo is finally trading indoor glam for outdoor green. Andy Cohen, the Emmy-winning TV personality and producer of 'Top Chef' and 'Watch What Happens Live,' has found a buyer for his sprawling West Village duplex after eight months on the market. The 3,500-square-foot Manhattan residence — pieced together over 21 years by combining multiple units — was listed for $14 million in September 2024 before undergoing a $2 million price cut in February. 11 Bravo star Andy Cohen has officially found a buyer for his uniquely customized West Village condo, eight months after it hit the market. Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images 11 Originally listed in September 2024 for $14 million, the three-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom duplex was reduced by $2 million before going under contract. Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images It officially went under contract on May 19, according to real estate broker and longtime friend Ryan Serhant, who shared the news via Instagram. The final price to be paid, as well as the new owner, are not yet known. Serhant, who's now the star of 'Owning Manhattan' on Netflix, first made his name in real estate reality television on Bravo's 'Million Dollar Listing New York,' which premiered in 2012. 'Congrats @bravoandy,' Serhant wrote. 'Thanks for trusting me and @serhant with your home.' Serhant had been eyeing Cohen's unit for years, according to previous reports. 11 Andy Cohen and Ryan Serhant have long been friends. NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Images 11 Over 21 years, Cohen combined four separate units — and later two additional studios — into a 3,500-square-foot dream home. Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images 'The first time I ever walked into Andy's apartment, I said, 'Whenever you are willing to part with this, even if I have to pull it from your grip, please let me know. Because it's a one of one,'' he told the New York Times. 'It's one of those treasures that you wait your whole career for.' When reached for comment by The Post, Serhant could not elaborate on the deal. The apartment reflects a layered, theatrical sensibility befitting its owner. It is currently composed of three bedrooms, with the potential for 4 to 5 bedrooms, and boasts 4.5 bathrooms. 11 Serhant, who had long coveted the listing, called the property a 'one of one' and a career highlight. Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images 11 The home boasts woodburning fireplaces, a steam room, sweeping views of the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings — and standout design touches like a walnut, steel and glass staircase.

The unit features a mix of saturated color palettes, from lacquer-red powder rooms to a royal purple rug in the primary suite. Among its many rarities: multiple woodburning fireplaces, a steam room, three storage units, and a primary bath with a teak soaking tub and a marble vanity. The main bedroom also boasts its own fireplace. 11 The handsome kitchen. Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images 11 A wet bar. Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images Still, even dream apartments have limits. Cohen, who had long pined for an open-air escape, decided to move after finding another West Village home that finally checked the box: outdoor space. 'Outdoor space was the decision! I always have coveted outdoor space,' Cohen, who hails from Missouri, told People. 'There is a dearth of inventory in the West Village with outdoor space, so when I found something that was meaningful enough for me to leave my dream apartment … that's what it took.' Cohen's new home reportedly cost $18 million and comes with a 2,000-square-foot terrace in addition to 3,000 square feet of interior space. When he's not there, he's constantly found walking around the West Village — and has been a common sight on the streets there for years. 11 The Emmy-winning producer and talk show host said he made the emotional decision to sell in pursuit of outdoor space, which he found in a nearby $18 million West Village apartment boasting a 2,000-square-foot terrace.

Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images The sale marks the end of an era for the Bravo figurehead, whose West Village abode served as a longtime personal and professional refuge. Outside of real estate, Cohen continues to juggle a packed schedule. In addition to his SiriusXM channels and hosting duties, he's currently touring the country with CNN anchor, and longtime friend, Anderson Cooper in their live conversation series, 'AC2: An Intimate Evening with Anderson Cooper & Andy Cohen.' As Serhant sees it, parting with the home wasn't just a sale — it was a moment. 'It's one of those treasures that you wait your whole career for, to find something like this that you get to bring to market and sell,' he said.
