Remember me
Back in 2008—around the same time Sting (born Gordon Sumner) was wrapping up a reunion tour with The Police that culminated at Madison Square Garden—the group’s longtime frontman doled out $27 million for two stacked apartments at architect Robert A.M. Stern’s newly designed 15 West complex on the of .
The Grammy-winning musician, who has performed solo for over four decades, and his wife Trudie Styler, an award-winning film producer and a prominent environmental activist, then hired the -based architecture and interior design firm SheltonMindel to create a bespoke duplex showcasing two spiral staircases, including a double-height sculptural one in the entrance gallery, as well as a modern open gas fireplace informed by the shape of the stairs and the Fibonacci spiral. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a 400-square-foot terrace offer premium views over Central Park and the Hudson River.

As they were planning an upgrade to a $65.7 million penthouse in another Stern-designed building at 220 Central Park West, the couple put their stylish aerie up for sale in 2017 at $56 million and sold it a few months later to an unnamed buyer for $50 million. After sitting empty since Sting and Styler moved out, per the New York Post, the stylish spread has just returned to the market for $45 million, a whopping $5 million less than the current owner paid.
Set on the 16th and 17th floors of the 19-story House section of the bifurcated limestone building, which also includes a connected 35-story tower, the home has four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and two powder rooms in roughly 5,400 square feet. A main semi-private elevator landing opens into the bottom level, which is highlighted by a living room separated from a dining area and a bookshelf-lined library by the aforementioned fireplace. A media room adjoins a sleek, all-white kitchen sporting a Viking range, along with a second elevator and spiral staircase.

All the bedrooms can be found upstairs, including one that’s currently being used as an office and a primary suite flaunting dual dressing rooms and baths, plus a sauna clad in dark gray stone.

Plenty of building amenities are also at the ready via a hefty $14,282-per-month maintenance and common charge, including a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a fitness center with a skylit lap pool and spa facilities, screening and game rooms, a wine cellar, and a private restaurant.
The longtime couple, whose primary residence is a 16th-century Elizabethan manor in the Wiltshire countryside near Salisbury, England, maintains a 16th-century villa and 900-acre winery near Florence and a beachside estate in Malibu. They also still own the 220 Central Park West penthouse.
