City condo not bought by Kevin Spacey but by a friend

-

Kevin Spacey’s manager says it is he — not the actor — who is the owner of a multimilli­on-dollar Inner Harbor condo that’s been the subject of rumors linking it to the Oscar winner.

Evan Lowenstein told The Baltimore Sun on Tuesday that he purchased the property at 622 Ponte Villas North in February through a private trust to retain privacy. Tax records list the owner as Clear Toaster LLC and state that the home was purchased for $5.65 million.

David Bolno, a manager of Clear Toaster, is a partner in Nigro Karlin Segal Feldstein & Bolno, a major accounting and business management firm in entertainm­ent circles. His contact informatio­n appears on the tax records for the property. Bolno, who signed the deed, confirmed that Lowenstein purchased the home.

The deed record shows that Clear Toaster got a $5.65 million loan from The 12472 Trust, a California revocable trust. There is no indication of any interest attached to the loan.

Lowenstein, who was photograph­ed at the 2016 Emmys in September alongside Spacey, said he is the actor’s friend, manager and business partner. Spacey’s publicist Staci Wolfe confirmed that Lowenstein is the actor’s manager.

Lowenstein said he relocated from the West Coast and shares the home with his family. This isn’t the first time his profession­al relationsh­ip with Spacey has sparked rumors, he said.

The 43-year-old talent manager, entreprene­ur and former pop singer (he is half of the ’90s music duo Evan and Jaron) went viral after he was seen sitting next to Spacey at the Emmys. Internet sleuths went into a frenzy in attempts to figure out whether Lowenstein was Spacey’s date. Lowenstein said that he does not have a romantic relationsh­ip with Spacey.

In Baltimore, Lowenstein said, the home has been a source of speculatio­n for months.

“If people keep saying it’s [Spacey’s] house, I’m going to start asking him to pay the bills,” Lowenstein joked. Baltimore Sun reporter Doug Donovan contribute­d to this article. — Brittany Britto
