‘LO’ HI-RISE
Jennifer, Alex pay $15M for Park Ave. pad
HEY, YOU can see the Bronx from here!
Singer Jennifer Lopez and former Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez have purchased a Park Ave. apartment in the world’s tallest residential building, according to a report.
The Bronx native and former Bronx Bomber paid $15.3 million in February for the 4,000-square-foot, three-bedroom, 4½-bathroom pad between E. 56th and E.57th Sts., The Wall Street Journal reported.
“They brought in Newport Construction to do improvements on the apartment,” a source familiar with the deal said.
The price tag shouldn’t be an issue for the power couple. Forbes has reported that J.Lo, who is worth $360 million, brought in $38 million in 2017 alone. Celebritynetworth.com estimates A-Rod is worth $350 million.
The suddenly inseparable pair had been “dating for a few weeks” when People magazine first reported they were a couple in March 2017. Rumors the two were getting serious spread in October, when Lopez put her E. 26th St. penthouse on the market for $27 million.
They’ll have no trouble filling the bedrooms in their new pad. The “Jenny From the Block” singer and actress is mom to 10-year-old twins, while the 14-time All-Star has two daughters, who are 13 and 9.
“J.Lo and A-Rod are on the same page and want the same things,” ET reported Wednesday. “They’ve discussed marriage and what their long-term plan is.”
Lopez is currently performing at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, where she has a residency through October. Rodriguez’s schedule will soon heat up as well. He’s a broadcaster for ESPN and the baseball season starts Thursday.
The superstar couple isn’t the only celeb duo with ties to the high-rise at 432 Park Ave.
The tower was developed by billionaire real estate mogul Harry Macklowe, whose nasty $2 billion divorce took an even uglier turn on Feb. 5 when his wife Linda surrendered a computer to the FBI that she said contained child porn searches. The Daily News exclusively reported that story on Wednesday.
A source said the computer in question was not password-protected and a lot of people had access to it during the five-year period the tawdry searches allegedly occurred.
In their divorce trial, Linda Macklowe charged that her estranged husband was trying to annex part of her $14 million, 78th-floor apartment in the swanky building. He also has an apartment on that floor.
