A

N ARTIFACT from another era, her skintight Calv in Klein jeans are now on display at the Fashion Institute of Technology. A pair was previously shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Her oft-controversial childhood portraits have been exhibited in the Whitney, the Guggenheim and the Tate — where the photographs were removed after a warning from the London police. But Brooke Shields, 50, is far from being a museum piece. Defying the mantle of victimhood thrust upon too many child stars, Shields has had a robust and surprisingly diverse five-decade-long career. She balanced steamy art house roles and squeaky-clean mainstream good-girl parts. In recent years, she branched out into comedy. In her latest role, Shields plays a Manhattan-lawyer-turned-florist with a penchant for solving crimes in the “Flower Shop Mysteries,” premiering this month on the Hallmark Channel. “It is sort of like ‘Murder She Wrote,’ ” she says, during a recent interview with this reporter. Perhaps it’s only fitting that Shields is playing a Manhattanite again. While she’s part of the broader celebrity firmament, New Yorkers have long embraced her as one of their own. Speaking with friends, family and colleagues in preparation for this interview, I was surprised by the range of memories she inspired, and how each claimed a specific connection to her. A magazine publisher remembered his teenage crush on Shields after watching “Blue Lagoon.” My father, the same age as Shields, quoted her Calvin Klein commercial word for word when I called him after booking the interview. A friend in real estate asked me about her muchpublicized feud with Tom Cruise over her use of antidepressants while struggling with postpartum depression, as discussed in her best-selling book “Down Came the Rain.” My tennis-playing roommate recalled her marriage to Andre Agassi in the late 1990s. But none of this is the legacy Shields herself hopes for. “There is always this very fine line between being flattered, and also realizing the arbitrary nature of it,” Shields says, referring to the fame she derived from her early career as a model. Her first modeling job was at 11 months old for Ivory soap, and by age three, she was a runway model. At nine, she had a controversial role as a child prostitute in the film, “Pretty Baby,” which won the Technical Grand Prize at the 1978 Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for the Palme d’Or. “I just happened to be at the right place at the right time, and I looked a certain way. There is nothing I did to look that way,” she says. “My parents had me, and all of a sudden there was this certain trajectory. What I hope is that I have registered with people by giving them honesty and entertainment.” Shields says that her most satisfying moments are when she is able to reveal her

own experiences and say “you aren’t alone” to those facing difficult-to-discuss issues like postpartum depression. Creatively, she is proudest of playing against type. “My proudest times are in being able to make people laugh,” Shields says. Her sitcom “Suddenly Susan” ran from 1996 to 2000 and earned her a Golden Globe nomination. “I hope that I am remembered as not just an actress, but as a comedic actress as well.” But comedy wasn’t an easy transition, Shields says, not because she didn’t have the knack, but because of her public perception as a pretty face. “I had just never been given the chance [to do comedy],” she says. “I had been on 27 Bob Hope shows. I lived for comedy. Watching comedies, being in the plays at school and laughing with my mom: Those were the purest times. But that wasn’t my role. I was a model and I looked a certain way.” To say that her early films, like “Pretty Baby,” “Endless Love” and “Blue Lagoon,” are not movies known for their comedy is an understatement. “That was the path people wanted me to go on. In that era, you couldn’t be pretty and funny. They weren’t celebrating that in Hollywood. When “Friends” came along they really let me be crazy and funny. That was a revelation for other people. It was such a relief to me,” Shields says, referring to her 1996 appearance on the longrunning sitcom. It was a breakthrough that earned her roles in hit comedies like NBC’s “Lipstick Jungle,” “That 70’s Show,” “Hannah Montana,” “Two And A Half Men” and “The Middle.” Last fall, Shields lent her voice to Adult Swim’s new dark and surreal animated series “Mr. Pickles.” Still, Shields insists both in this interview and in her recent memoir, “There Was a Little Girl: The Real Story of My Mother and Me,” that she is in no way a victim of

those early roles or her mother, Teri, who acted as her agent. On the contrary, she says that without her mother’s guidance and support that she could have suffered the anticlimactic fate of many other child stars. Not only did her mother insist that she stay in school, but she refused call times during school hours. “That was unheard of,” Shields says. “It was an unprecedented way of handling talent. It gave [my mother] a horrible reputation, and she pissed everybody off.” Shields argues that spending her life in Manhattan, rather than Los Angeles, also helped her dodge pitfalls. “I never left Manhattan, which I actually think is a really, really big piece. Because as crazy as people think this city is, the people who went out to California and were taking high school equivalency tests and just going into the entertainment industry and living that life, they had no safety net,” Shields says. “Whereas in New York, I do believe that there is [a safety net]. It’s not just that if you can make it here you can make it anywhere, but there is an intrinsic code of ethics here I believe.” Shields grew up on the Upper East Side. Her father was an Italian-American aristocrat. Her paternal grandmother was princess Donna Marina Torlonia dei Principi di Civitella-Cesi. But after her parents divorced, she spent the majority of her time with her mother, who would expose her to Downtown New York’s bohemian side. “My dad lived on the Upper East Side, and I was with my mom and working and eating Chinese and Indian food. I spanned both sides ever since I was a little kid,” she says. “You know in the 1980s, you didn’t go walking around the Meatpacking District — but I did with my mother. In the 1990s we’d do the Love Balls and Paris is Burning [ball]. I walked in the Love Ball for Paper Magazine [in drag] and we won.”

“ACTING IS LIKE A BLOOD INFUSION FOR ME.” —Brooke Shields

Shields’ parents divorced with the condition that her father would pay for her education. So while many of her acting peers dropped out of high school, Shields enrolled at Princeton where she studied French literature. She would later give a commencement address at her alma mater, an experience she says was both nerve– racking and fulfilling. “I had to go to university. I refused to be denied something that I felt normal people got to do,” she says, acknowledging that not all “normal” people go to Princeton. Before college, she says, “I used to see movies with students and I would think, ‘My god! What freedom it must be to just walk into buildings and have really smart people teach you and make you smart.’” An education gave Shields the security of knowing that if it all disappeared, she had something to fall back on. The fact that careers in entertainment are often ephemeral was never lost on her. Everyday, she says, she was aware that the bubble could burst. Of course, it never did. Today, Shields lives a more leisurely life in the West Village with her family. She resides in a 1910 townhouse house

that was gut renovated a few years ago by MADE, a Brooklyn design/build firm with expertise in historic buildings. The project spared much of the home’s original details and showcases many of her mother’s flea market finds. For fun, she grabs treats at Maison Kayser with her daughters and green tea matcha lattes from Teavana. Dinner is often at L’Artusi or the Waverly Inn. “I have a lot of fun with my daughters. We just engage with the city,” Shields says. “For as big as it is — for as much theater and performance art as we see, for as many museums that we go to — it feels like a small town for us, because of the way we live in it.” But while she’s enjoying Manhattan with more freedom than ever before, she has never quit working, nor does she have any plans to. “You are going to have to drag me away. You are going to have the hearse waiting. I’ll say my last words and you can put me in the box,” Shields says. “Acting is like a blood infusion for me. It was my first love. Before my husband or my kids, my biggest relationship was with performing.”

As a child, Shields’ mother took her and a group of friends to see “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” in the East Village. “There were people in cages and stuff. It was hysterical. I was exposed at a really early age to the color and the vivacity of it all,” Shields says, adding that she and her husband, producer and screenwriter Chris Henchy, endeavor to do the same for their two daughters. “There should be nothing that they are threatened by or afraid of just because it is different,” Shields says. “I think people learn to be afraid of things that they don’t understand, and so whether it is someone transitioning, or someone who is in the art world and is sort of outrageous, if you really indulge it and get into it, I think you gain appreciation. You don’t have to subscribe to it. You don’t even have to like the art. But you have to be able to be able to say, ‘Okay, that is this person’s point of view.’ I think New York is very good at giving all points of view.” But despite her apparently glamorous life as a globe-trotting, internationally famous model and movie star, living through some of the most exciting and creative times in New York’s history, Shields says that she often felt trapped. She says she never really felt free until she went away to study. “I think people look at the entertainment industry and the assumption is that it’s a wish fulfillment and that you are living a dream and its freedom, when it really can be the antithesis of that, because nothing is really on your terms,” Shields says. “You’re wearing someone else’s clothes, you’re being told to stand here and do this. You’re being told that you have to get up at 6 a.m. to do that. You’re a kid on an adult, 14-houra-day workload. You have to play the game, and then you have to get on camera and act positively. You have to sell. And you’re selling yourself and you’re selling the product and you’re selling other people’s money. You’re doing it all because you have a boss of some kind, whether it’s the public or the owner of a studio. Unless you are the person with all the money calling all the shots, there is no freedom in it.” “I was very much on the straight and narrow. I was a good girl. I was America’s sweetheart,” she adds. “My approval was based on being a good girl, on being obedient, and you get rewarded for that. It’s better than being in the detention hall of life. But it still wasn’t on my terms. Nothing was on my terms until I got to university.”

Paint by numbers Pablo Picasso’s 1955 painting “Les Femmes D’Alger (Version O)� sold in May at Christie’s in New York for $179.4 MILLION, the most ever paid for a work of art at auction. Though (big surprise) the buyer was unnamed, rumors swirled that it was former Qatari Prime Minister Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani.

NO. 2 Svelte sculpture

At the same auction that the year’s record-breaking Picasso sold, hedge-fund manager and art collector Steven Cohen bought the most expensive sculpture ever, Alberto Giacometti’s “Man Pointing” for $141.3 MILLION. Though he bought it anonymously, he was later outed as the buyer by Page Six.

NO. 3 Diamond dandy

Chinese billionaire Joseph Lau paid a record-breaking $48.4 MILLION for the “Blue Moon” diamond at Sotheby’s November auction in Geneva as a gift for his seven-year-old daughter, Josephine. We pity any man who ever tries to buy Josephine an engagement ring.

NO. 4 Time to buy

A stainless steel Patek Philippe wristwatch sold in November for roughly $7.26 MILLION as part of the 2015 Only Watch charitable event in Geneva, which raised money for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a genetic disorder. That is the most ever paid for a wristwatch publicly and is 10 times as much as the watch was expected to fetch. That’s mighty charitable! CONTINUED ON PG 00

NO. 5 Sweet ride

What’s the fun of going somewhere if you can’t do it in style? The most expensive car collection ever fetched a total of $65 million at the Concours d’Elegance auctions and shows in Pebble Beach. The priciest car of the lot was a 1964 Ferrari 250 LM that went for $17.6 MILLION.

NO. 7

The cat’s meow

In the bag

Someone really, really likes cat gifs. In November, Sotheby’s in New York announced the sale of the enormous cat painting “My Wife’s Lovers” by the Austrian artist Carl Kahler. The painting, which depicts 40 cats, was estimated to sell for $200,000 to $300,000, but ended up selling to an unnamed buyer for $826,000, making it the most expensive cat painting ever sold.

NO. 8

Bottoms up

A bottle of 1960 Karuizawa Japanese whiskey sold to an anonymous buyer for $118,500 in August at Bonhams auction in Hong Kong, making it the most expensive Japanese whiskey ever sold. Only 41 bottles of this particular type of whiskey were ever made and presumably party boys on yachts have already consumed many of them.

NO. 9

What’s better than an Hermès Birkin bag? A Birkin bag with diamonds on it! One such bag in fuchsia crocodile sold to an anonymous buyer at Christie’s in Hong Kong for $223,000 in June, setting the record for the most expensive bag ever sold at auction.

Brave biscuit

A cracker that sailed on the Titanic sold to a Greek collector for $23,000 in October through the auction house Henry Aldridge & Son in England. This was the highest price ever paid for a biscuit, which actually comes from the survival kit on the lifeboat. Guess the passengers were a bit too stressed to eat it.

NO.10

Under armor

A pair of Queen Victoria’s underwear sold in July for $16,300 at Chippenham Auction House. This was the highest price ever achieved for a pair of her underwear, due to the way the garment was taken in, which allowed historians to date it to the last 10 years of her life.Ʉ

he very rich love to talk about their bootstraps. They all seem to have made great use of them, pulling on them unremittingly to get to the top of the pile. Of course, a ragsto-riches route makes for better PR than a tale of a rich kid who just keeps getting richer, which, if we are honest, is nearly always what really happened. But Barbara Corcoran, 66, is the real thing (although she prefers heels to boots). Unlike so many humble braggers who credit their individual genius for their fortunes, she’s quick to admit that her extraordinary achievements required lots of lucky breaks, mixed with a little tenacity. “Being lucky is an attitude,” she tells LLNYC from the windowed breakfast nook of her Park Avenue co-op. “I am extremely lucky. I always expect luck. But you need scrappiness to recognize a lucky break when it comes along. I think lucky breaks and being scrappy are kissing cousins.” Outside, a sliver of Central Park is visible between two buildings, with the San Remo in the distance. She has lived here for 18 years with her husband William Higgins and her two children, but will soon move two blocks over to an 11-room penthouse at 1158 Fifth Avenue — a home she’s coveted for decades, after delivering a package to the owner and being invited inside. She paid close to $10 million for the duplex apartment and its garden terrace — a splashout for the notoriously frugal Corcoran. And no, she is not buying a private island, as rumor has it. Besides her new apartment, she says her biggest expenditure was a $500 painting of a farmhouse in her lounge. For our photo shoot, she wore $10 costume jewelry, insisting that she never buys the real thing. Most of America knows her from ABC’s reality show “Shark Tank,” where eager entrepreneurs pitch ideas to Corcoran and the other “shark” investors. She has just signed on for another three seasons of the show. But many New Yorkers recognize her primarily as the namesake of the Corcoran Group, one the city’s largest real estate brokerages. She sold her firm in 2001 for

roughly $66 million before getting into the television business. “I watched New York go from a middleclass city to a city of the rich. I watched it go from predominantly New Yorkers to mostly internationals. I watched the city totally reinvent itself, and I was the beneficiary of that,” she says. “It’s terrible for the people who got pushed out. It’s terrible news for families who can’t afford to live here. But if you can afford it, it is wonderful.” The legend goes that Corcoran grew her business into the city’s second-largest brokerage with nothing more than her wits and a $1,000 loan (roughly $5,300 in 2015 dollars) from then-boyfriend Ramon Simone (who, in an act of cliché, would eventually leave her for a junior member of the firm). “I knew I was going to lose my virginity the second I saw him,” she laughs. “Women know these things.” But it’s worth deconstructing this bootstrap myth. It’s to Corcoran’s credit. “How do you grow a business out of $1,000? An inch at a time; no big leaps,” she says. Corcoran comes from a family of 12: 10 children and two parents in a onebathroom house. “My dad was my mother’s 11th child. All he cared about was fun,” she says. They were poor and Corcoran says she always understood that she would need to provide for herself completely. Before she tried her hand at real estate, she had already floated between different 22 jobs. She was a waitress four times; a hot-dog saleswoman along a highway; an over-thephone tent saleswoman (“You would be surprised how many people need to rent a tent.”); a receptionist, twice; a secretary, four times; a stenographer (“I got fired, but it counts.”); a life guard; a “house mother” at an orphanage (“That was one of my best jobs. I got paid double time to sleep.”); a playground guard; a “home teacher;” a sales clerk at a department store; a bookstore clerk; a tour guide at an historic Greek diner; a florist and a babysitter. Getting into real estate seems to have been more or less an accident—or a stroke of good luck.

Before launching her own business, Corcoran worked as a receptionist at a small, family-owned real estate firm. After a year, they gave her their worst listing to market. It was a dark L-shaped onebedroom on the corner of 83rd Street and First Avenue, asking $340 a month. “It sounds absurd now, but that was a good-sized rent in a doorman building,” Corcoran says. “I thought, ‘How the hell am I going to rent this thing? I didn’t want to seem ungrateful.’” It was 1973, and the New York Times and the Village Voice had a near-monopoly on real estate classifieds. Corcoran placed three-line ads for the apartment. “It was like fishing back then,” she says. “If you wrote a good ad, you got a call.” She noticed a glut of ads for onebedrooms priced similarly to her own listing. So she went back to the owner with an idea. “I said, ‘I think I can get you $380 a month if you’ll build me a half-wall in the L of the living room.’ ” Her new ad read: “1BR PLUS DEN $380 A MONTH.” “My phone never stopped ringing. Who wants a one-bedroom, when they can get a bedroom and a den?” Corcoran recalls. “It worked like a dream.” The family hired her

/X[XU\ /LVWLQJV 1<&ɅɅɅ-DQXDU\ )HEUXDU\

to market the rest of the building, and she was able to slowly hire agents. By the end of the year, she had a four-person team. “You sure as heck need lucky breaks,” Corcoran says. “Imagine if I wasn’t working for that family? Imagine if he hadn’t put up that wall?” In 1978, Corcoran formed the Corcoran Group, and luck was with her again as many of the city’s rentals were being converted into more exclusive co-op apartments, which offered much higher sales commissions. Three years later she launched the highly successful and firstof-its-kind Corcoran Report on the health of the residential market, despite having only 11 sales to base her report on. In the following decades, her roster snowballed into a battalion of just under a thousand agents, making billions of dollars worth of deals every year. Corcoran admits that she had one advantage starting out: She credits her oversized, hyperactive family with giving her social skills others are forced to learn later in life. “If you grow up in a house with a lot of kids, you have a tremendous head start,” she says, adding that her mother’s endless

energy and work ethic was particularly inspiring. “We were all grown up before we were grown-up.” She recalls her mother cooking three meals for 12 people at their home in Edgewater, New Jersey, doing eight loads of laundry, ironing all of the children’s clothes and polishing all of their shoes each day. “We wore the same thing everyday, but we were the best-dressed kids in town.” After the kids went to sleep, she would clean the home. “We always woke up to a clean house and breakfast on the table,” she says. “My mother was a dynamo.” Corcoran says her home was run like a boot camp, but that it taught her selfreliance, flexibility, cooperation and how to get attention. “More than anything, you learn to get along with people. If you can do that, you have half of life licked. We had no kings or queens in our family. There was no room for it.” Her upbringing also helps explain her leap into television, which was hardly an obvious move for her at the time. After selling the Corcoran Group, she had intended to CONTINUED ON PG 24

Corcoran will soon move to an 11-room penthouse on Fifth Avenue.

retire and spend more time lunching with friends, cooking pasta and being with her son Tommy, now 21, and daughter, Kate, who she subsequently adopted and is now 10. But it wasn’t that easy. “I was totally lost. I was fighting depression. I lost my children; I had a thousand kids,” she says, referring to the brokers she once managed. Her festive managerial style had created an intimate culture that she missed. “The theme parties were my favorite part of the job,” she recalls. “The best one was my transvestite party. You had to cross-dress to get in, and the straight men all signed a petition saying they wouldn’t come — I didn’t have that many straight men working for me, most were gay. But I didn’t pay attention because I knew they would come. They came and had a ball. It was such a thrill to have 1,000 people all cross-dressed. And I think the straight men had the most fun. It gave them the opportunity to be something they weren’t.” Corcoran says that she prefers the company of gay to straight men. “It isn’t that sex is dangerous, it’s boring,” she says. Corcoran was notorious for mothering her agents, admitting that she needs to be worshiped by those around her. In her offices, she handed out yellow ribbons and cotton candy, hired yogis, masseuses and elephant-drawn carriages (at a countryside event), and threw increasingly extravagant parties. Even after selling her firm, she’s been known to spruce up the flowers in the office window boxes. “I felt like I didn’t belong to anything, it was so sad,” she says of her departure. She considered starting other businesses, first in public relations and then in advertising. But she wanted a job with independence. And after being invited onto Neil Cavuto’s show on Fox News as a real estate commentator, she realized she found her new calling.

“I watched the city totally reinvent itself, and I was the beneficiary.” —BARBARA CORCORAN

“I need attention. I missed my brokers, and I needed something to belong to,” she says, with her television stylist at her side. “I love an audience, and I love people who adore me.” She asked Cavuto for a regular job on Fox, but he found her a spot, not as a real estate or business commentator, but as a political correspondent. “I didn’t even know the difference between the Senate and the House of Representatives. It couldn’t have been a worse suggestion, but I said I’d take it because it was a ticket in,” she says. “It was a joke; all I did was study. I don’t care about politics. Not one inkling do I care about politics. I guess I should, but I really don’t.” She was able to leverage that job into a position as a real estate commentator on “Good Morning America” and the “Today Show” during the depths of the economic recession. “That was another lucky break. Imagine if it was a buoyant real estate market. I would have never gotten that job. Bad news prints.” But it was after she was approached for “Shark Tank” that she became known outside of New York. Still, she says this latest stroke of good fortune wasn’t a smooth transition. “For the first three or four years, ‘Shark Tank’ wasn’t fun. I was afraid all the time that I would be fired. I wasn’t comfortable in my own skin,” she says. “I was labeled a shark and they dressed me in black. It was off-character for me. I’m not a tough shark. If someone asked me for a word to describe myself, I would say ‘sweetie pie’ not ‘shark.’ ”

She says that the part of the show that really clicked for her was motivating the entrepreneurs, who were so similar to the real estate brokers she had managed for years. “My assessment on the show had nothing to do with the business plan. It had to do with my judgment of their personality. And I was very accurate.” Corcoran says she invests in people who have energy, street smarts and are nice. She won’t invest with anyone who is a “bastard.” “I never saw anyone without a lot of energy that was hugely successful,” she says. “And a lot of the people on ‘Shark Tank’ are very well educated … people who went to the right schools, learned the right lingo and have had a life of privilege. I can’t relate to them. For them, succeeding is an option, not a need. But I want someone who is desperate and has something to prove. Basically, I want someone who is insecure.” It’s insecurity, not business school confidence, that Corcoran, and many other successful people, relate to. For them insecurity isn’t a weakness, it’s a driving force. What better motivation is there than the knowledge that at any moment the floor might fall out from under you? This wariness apparently carries over into Corcoran’s personal life, where it becomes fodder for a self-deprecating laugh. “I don’t like sex. I like massages. Oneway sex every time!” Corcoran jokes. “I just don’t have the confidence. Image getting undressed in front of a younger man. Even I get disgusted. I’ve been hit on by younger men, but I am sure they want my money. It can’t be my body! I wasn’t born yesterday.”

ulfstreams are a frequent sight on the tarmac at AspenPitkin County Airport, and they will become even more common when the airport expands its runway, enabling it to accommodate the Gulfstream G650, which has a range of 7,000 miles and is too big to fly into Aspen now. The G650 can seat 19, sleep 10 and costs around $65 million. (The airport can currently accommodate a smaller version, the * ÉˆČƒÉˆD YHUVLRQ RI WKH *XOIVWUHDP 9 DYDLODEOH IRU D PHUH $50 million). According to the Aspen Times, “33 individuals with Aspen real estate connections placed orders for G650sâ€? this fall. Haven’t gotten round to placing your own order? Old plane in the shop? Then you’ll want to fly charter (especially because the wider runway won’t be ready until 2027), in order to travel to Aspen in style and comfort. There are essentially two types of private charters available: “on demandâ€? provided by companies like Charter Jet One, and fractional ownership companies like NetJets, where one purchases a number of hours on a card and uses them like a time-share. “Private charter is a luxury. It holds no comparison to commercial travel,â€? said Janet Mayfield, sales and marketing director for Charter Jet One. “My clients choose the day and time of day that they wish to fly. They are pampered in luxury at the regional airport and on board.â€?

She ticked off a list of potential charges, such a fees for a steward or stewardess, waiting time and even de-icing, which can cost a few thousand dollars. Richard Berger, CEO of Charter Jet One, has 20 years of flying experience. He said the mountains ringing Aspen make flying there a unique situation. Because the mountains are so high and close in, planes do not take off or land there at night. Confused by all the variables? That’s why there are charter jet brokers to work out the details and prevent a bumpy ride, so to speak. “The broker would bear the cost, or at least be able to mediate or defray a loss, if one side were to cancel or if weather would not permit travel, Mayfield said. “Remember, even Miranda could not get off the ground in ‘The Devil Wears 3UDGD ȇɋȋ

How to make a blissful bath Recreating the spa experience at home in the city, with deluxe tubs, high-end showers and fixtures By C. J. Hughes

J

anuary is a time of renewal, when many of us refocus on our health and well-being. But sometimes you can’t spend a week at Canyon Ranch, or you just may prefer a spa that’s closer to KRPHÉˆČƒÉˆOLNH GRZQ WKH KDOO Increasingly, the master bath is playing the role of spa, say interior designers, architects and manufacturers of bath IL[WXUHV 7KH\ H[SODLQ WKDW FOLHQWVÉˆČƒÉˆERWK IRU KLV EDWK DQG KHUVÉŒČƒÉŒDUH DGGLQJ deluxe tubs that soothe with air jets and aromatherapies, installing roomy showers with a range of muscle-loosening sprays, and mounting racks that keep towels toasty warm. The result is an indulgent escape that eases the stress of the world, just a few steps from the bedroom. “Master baths have become the chill room,â€? said Lee Stahl, president of Manhattan-based design-build firm The Renovated Home, who has created retreats like these in high-end apartments from Soho to the Upper East Side. “They are more spa-like now than I’ve seen in 25 years.â€? To insure that you can stretch your legs, the bath needs to be spacious, which can be a tall order to fill in a New York apartment building, even a high-end one. But master baths measuring 200 square feet or more are increasingly common, said Thomas Juul-Hansen, an architect who has styled several luxury condo projects. Glossy new condos, with their trickedout baths, are in turn influencing renovation projects in high-end homes around the city, experts said. For roomier baths, Juul-Hansen said, clients are sacrificing secondary bedrooms. But for some that is not enough square footage, since couples often want separate his-and-hers chambers, a configuration featured at One57, the super-tall 90-story Midtown spire, which has homes with dual-bath layouts on its top 20 floors. “It was really a trend-setter,â€? Juul-Hansen said. Whether for him or her, the centerpiece is often the tub, with a favorite being BainUltra’s Thermasens line, which packs in a spa-like three-in-one experience. First, bathers are massaged by dozens of air jets. Unlike Jacuzzis, which shoot hot water, air is more germ-free, designers say. Second, the tubs, which are available in a slew of decorative shapes, come with an array of colored LED lights, which are mounted on an adjacent wall to add a touch of phototherapy. And essential oils,

In a Park Avenue co-op, Jason Fischer, a designer with the interior design firm of Sandra Nunnerley, recently created a

48-square-foot shower on the “his� side of the master bath, with a few of the fixtures that modern clients demand including a ceiling-mounted rain-head shower from Waterworks’ Henry collection. Eight-inchwide chrome-finished versions start at DERXW That space also featured a Waterworks hand shower, to train streams on knotted muscles; they start under $900. Body sprayers are a must-have for the shower, and some high-end baths even offer a collection of them.

co-op building on the market since May has a new look to entice buyers. Owners of the property at 1025 Park Avenue, which is being offered as a prospective conversion to a single-family home, released new renderings of the building to show what the property would look like if a new owner gutted it. If the 10 units were combined, it would be the largest private mansion on Park Avenue.

igger is much better for billionaires in Manhattan looking to combine units to make mega-homes. The New York Post rounded up a number of the pricey multi pads, including Roman Abramovich’s three-townhouse combination at 11, 13 and 15 East 75th Street. The Russian oligarch filed plans to combine his three units last month. The work, which will cost about $6 million, will produce an 18,000-square-foot space. Abramovich paid $78 million for the three houses, in separate purchases.

SO BRIGHT Four exposures showcase New York City landmarks.

n what will probably be no surprise to residents of the UES, the Manhattan neighborhood has earned the dubious distinction of being number one for parking tickets in NYC. As reported last month by amNY, a recent analysis by RentHop found that nearly 600,000 parking tickets were issued to drivers who parked their vehicles on the UES in 2015, the highest number for a neighborhood in the city. But on a per capita basis, the honor goes to Times Square, where 19.8 tickets were issued per driver, compared with only 2.8 tickets per capita on the Upper East Side.

hinese food goes high end at Jue Lan Club at 49 West 20th Street, the former Limelight space that has seen several reincarnations. Jue Lan (pronounced “U Lan�) opened last month under the direction of former Buddakan chef Oscar Toro. The menu is a mix of the traditional and the inventive, like sloppy bao buns ($16), which are stuffed with braised oxtail, as well as items that appear to throw down a gauntlet, such as hot and numbing crispy beef ($26). Sounds addictive to the non-vegans among us.

Restaurant news

F

or those of us who eschew beef, there is much rejoicing. Vegan restaurants are on the rise in the city, amNY reported (with newcomers V Burger, by CHLOE and Avant Garden, as well as Blossom Du Jour opening its ninth spot last year). By CHLOE, which offers a rave-inducing shiitake “bacon� topping on its kale salad, will open new locations in Flatiron in February and Soho in the summer.

ondo owners at one of the neighborhood’s most high-profile luxury buildings say the property is not all it was cracked up to be. As The Real Deal reported, the condominium association at 15 Union Square West filed a $5 million lawsuit against developer Brack Capital Real Estate, alleging that the firm did not deliver the quality it promised, according to a lawsuit filed last month in State Supreme Court. The building’s roof leaks, the ninth-floor common terrace was never landscaped and electrical service to the building is patchy, among other problems, residents claim. In addition to the $5 million judgment, they’re demanding that Brack renovate the 36-unit building and fix the problems. A spokesperson for Brack said the allegations were a surprise and the firm intends to investigate.

ou can put yourself in the chef’s hands at a new Japanese restaurant offering very fashionable omakasestyle sushi for $125 in the West Village, according to the Wall Street Journal. Kosaka is a petite 18-seat eatery, the vision of sushi chef Yoshihiko Kousaka, formerly the executive chef of Jewel Bako in the East Village. He sources most of his fish directly from Japan, the publication said. That’s something to reflect on before feasting. Development watch

Nothing like a quickie (sale, of course). Actress CAMERON DIAZ wrapped a deal for her Greenwich Village two-bedroom condo, which was listed for $4.25 MILLION, after just 47 days on the market. The “Something About Mary� star picked up the condo on 12th street for $2.95 million in 2008, according to Curbed. Diaz enlisted interior designer Kelly Wearstler to infuse the previous all-white interiors with warm colors, such as the earth tones in the living room.

he Wall Street Journal reports this high-tech dream home, located at 50 Wooster Street, is full of surprises. The biggest is a supersecret cat tunnel designed by owner Sara Tecchia for her three cats to go from the kitchen to the litter box in her pantry. Though the placement of the litter box is slightly unappetizing, the all-white 4,800-square-foot unit has other noteworthy features, like a powder room with walls that change color.

Business update

Shop drop

A

t first glance, retail in Soho, one of New York’s biggest and trendiest shopping districts, looks to be as robust as ever. On any given weekend, boutique and big-box stores are mobbed by New Yorkers and tourists. But the area is at a retail crossroads. While the neighborhood has received a lot of attention in recent years for the rising number of empty storefronts, the situation accelerated in the third quarter of 2015, showing the biggest jump of any Manhattan neighborhood. Maybe you’ll be shopping somewhere else soon?

Cogswell Realty, which paid $31 million for the Lower East Side property in 2015, filed tentative plans to bring 45 condo units to the location on 150 Rivington Street.
