Townhouse Bachelor Pad Extraordinaire
So what does everyone think of the renovation that ex-hedge-fund-manager and man-about-town Brad Zipper did on his four-story townhouse in Little Italy? (Cue the name-related jokes.) The wine cellar is about the only thing we saw that appealed to us, but then we had a different set of criteria and financial constraints when we were…
So what does everyone think of the renovation that ex-hedge-fund-manager and man-about-town Brad Zipper did on his four-story townhouse in Little Italy? (Cue the name-related jokes.) The wine cellar is about the only thing we saw that appealed to us, but then we had a different set of criteria and financial constraints when we were re-doing our house. Clearly he made enough dough on Wall Street that he doesn’t have to worry about getting his money back when he sells the house. In the meantime, it should serve him pretty well as he invites movie stars and models back from the Soho House.

Dan Egar is a HUNK!!!!
This is CLASSIC!!! Do you remember when i used to roll into the bathroom and drop my droors to the floor?
Sorry about the vulgar language I used earlier, Benn. I should have been more polite. The heat of the moment got the better of me.
You’re right that jealousy of some form played a part in my posting. Unfortunately, you’re theory that my jealousy derives from low income is incorrect. Anyways, when the crash comes, we’ll see who’s still making money.
By the way, didn’t their townhouse on Thompson street languish on the market for years?
Hmmmnnn …the hedge fund frat boy does look like a bit of a slob … but he got exactly what he asked for from his designers so I don’t see what the big deal is ….I imagined had he asked for a Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie style townhouse in SoHo, his designers would have delivered …what is all the fuzz about???
well –24 Thompsom sold recently and the asking price was $6.9 …NYPost said seller got close to ask price ….some basketball player bought it http://www.corcoran.com/property/listing.aspx?ListingID=223943&Region=NYC
and 22 Thompson is up for sale at $4.8 and it went for $2.6 in 04 http://custombrokersrealestate.com/22thompson.jsp …so maybe they do alright on the money side, even if it is not my taste
…you know, anonymous, get another set of talking points….this aesthethic purity or calling other’s work as crap is so old, lame, elistist, and effete….there are so many smarter than everybody else college profs, unemployed writers, and unappreciated artists that have never had their work featured featured anyplace whatsover…it is a free country, so you certainly are entiltled to your opinion, but the market speaks volumes on what the public thinks…
Hey anonymous … a very simple calculation: research 22 Thompson Place and 24 Thompson Place, find out what was paid for in 2003-4 and then what it went for in 2005. I know the SixxDesign folks: their worl os featured in several design book (eat your heart out), they own a 8,000 square NYC townhouses, a 20 acre farmhouse in upstate NY, a villa in Brazil and much more … so I guess they know a little about something …it must kill you that one of their cheap flea market items costs more than you earn in a couple of years… 🙂 ….but whine and snivel all you want…while SixxDesign laughs all the way to their next big deal….

They’ve had some great investment timing, but there work is subpar to say the least.
