We generally don’t care much about what celebrities are doing (do you? let us know), but will pick up on this item since it involves one we actually respect a bunch and also a building that we’re pretty big fans of as well.

From Gothamist:

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio recently purchased a unit at the David Rockwell-designed Riverhouse building in Battery Park City. The building is designed to be ecologically friendly while still luxurious. Details about the film star’s specific residence weren’t disclosed, but the Riverhouse has 264 units, including three bedroom duplexes that are still available.

We’re pretty much certain that it was the cunning salesmanship of our good friend Lori Bender that nailed this deal.  (Note:  we have no idea if this is actually true.)
