Linda Evangelista is officially strutting away from her New York City penthouse. The iconic Canadian supermodel—famously known for her ultra-short hairstyle nicknamed “The Linda” and the phrase, “We don’t wake up for less than $10,000 a day”—has hoisted her elegant pied-à-terre in Manhattan’s West Chelsea neighborhood up for sale at a speck under $8.2 million. Steve Gold of The Corcoran Group holds the listing.
She previously put the property on the market in May 2024 for $9.5 million. That’s around $1.3 million more than its current asking price, which comes out to $2,051 per square foot—a “value buy at this point,” Gold told the New York Post, adding that he’s sold nearby condos for $5,000 a square foot.
The sky-lit great room’s living and dining areas connect to a seated bar and an office nook.

Perched atop the 1880s Spears Building, a six-story converted furniture showroom nestled between the High Line and Hudson River, the posh digs offer four bedrooms and two baths spread across roughly 4,000 square feet of largely original yet modernized interiors outfitted with exposed brick, polished concrete floors, and high ceilings dotted with skylights. There’s also an in-unit washer and dryer, plus a 2,500-square-foot rooftop terrace that’s ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining.
Other highlights include an elevator that opens into a lengthy entrance gallery lined with artwork. From there, the spacious great room boasts a wood-burning fireplace and large windows overlooking three exposures. A dining area is flanked by a seated bar and a small office, while the galley kitchen is equipped with butcher block countertops, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a windowed breakfast nook.
The Manhattan residence is crowned by a private rooftop oasis spanning 2,500 square feet.

Secluded off by itself is a corner primary suite, which hosts a model-ready dressing room featuring not one but six floor-to-ceiling custom closets, as well as a spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub and a glassy shower. Three additional bedrooms can be used for guests, offices, or creative spaces.
The new owner will also be privy to plenty of amenities via a $5,669 monthly common charge, including a 24-hour doorman, a concierge, storage units, and a common rooftop deck. The pet-friendly building also contains several art galleries.
Known for her work as one of the original supermodels of the ’80s and ’90s alongside the likes of Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, and Cindy Crawford, Ontario-born Evangelista, 59, appeared in multimillion-dollar campaigns for Revlon and Versace. She was also named one of People magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful People” during her heyday.
