A New York City loft that was featured in “The Devil Wears Prada” hit the market last week for $8.95 million.
Fans of the 2006 movie, set in the fashion world, will recognize the apartment as the SoHo home of James Holt, played by Daniel Sunjata. There, during a party, Anne Hathaway’s character, Andy, meets love interest Christian Thompson, played by Simon Baker.
Located on Crosby Street in Downtown Manhattan, the real-life loft is located on the third floor of a nine-unit building. Built in 1900, the building was originally part of a department store before serving as a storage warehouse for several decades. In 1999, it was converted into a condo building, according to the listing with Jacques Foussard, Filipacchi and Jason Schuchman of Brown Harris Stevens. They weren’t available for comment.
The sellers are Sara and Marc Schiller, founders of the Apartment, a design concept store that’s also located on Crosby Street, according to the listing. They bought the loft in 2000, property records show, though Mansion Global couldn’t determine how much they paid.
The Schillers couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.
A 120-foot-long brick wall with arches stretches from the entryway to the home’s great room, where there are 13-foot ceilings, Corinthian columns and 10-foot-tall west-facing windows. The space has a fireplace and can accommodate multiple sitting areas as well as a dining table.
Off the great room is a custom-designed kitchen with high-end appliances and butcher block countertops.
The 3,600-square-foot home has two bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. The primary bedroom features a “one-of-a-kind” walk-in closet with “organic curves [that] were built to climb in order to reach the highest compartments,” according to the listing.

Mirvac’s 45-level Trielle has topped out at Yarra’s Edge, pairing riverfront apartments with wellness facilities, private dining and resident services.

Mirvac has topped out Trielle at Melbourne’s Yarra’s Edge, with more than 70 per cent of the riverfront development sold and approximately 80 per cent of purchasers intending to make their apartment a home.
The figures, released on September 22, point to an owner-occupier audience for one of the precinct’s final residential towers. Mirvac began developing Yarra’s Edge in 2003, and its latest addition occupies one of the remaining absolute riverfront sites.
Mirvac CEO of Development Stuart Penklis said existing residents were among those moving up within the neighbourhood.
“Many purchasers already have a connection to Yarra’s Edge,” Mr Penklis said, describing buyers whose changing needs were encouraging an upgrade within the precinct.
“As one of the final residential towers within Yarra’s Edge, Trielle represents the culmination of more than two decades of creating one of Melbourne’s most established and sought-after waterfront communities,” Penklis said.
“Positioned on the Collins Street axis with absolute river frontage, Trielle offers residents a rare opportunity to enjoy sweeping views across the Yarra River, Melbourne skyline and Port Phillip Bay, while remaining seamlessly connected to the CBD. With Trielle now more than 70 per cent sold, we’re continuing to see strong demand from buyers seeking quality homes in established locations.”
The developer also flagged a penthouse and sub-penthouse collection with larger layouts, premium finishes and broad outlooks. The planned wellness centrepiece, The Oasis, encompasses a 900-square-metre elevated urban rainforest.
Mirvac General Manager Residential Development Victoria Elysa Anderson said Trielle had resonated strongly with buyers seeking a rare lifestyle offering in Melbourne.
“Opportunities to secure a new luxury residence on a riverfront site of this calibre are incredibly rare, particularly within a community like Yarra’s Edge,” Anderson said.
“What makes Trielle unique is the combination of exceptional views, world-class residential facilities and the lifestyle that already exists around it. Residents are buying into a mature waterfront community with parks, promenades, dining, wellness and strong community connections already in place.”
The 45-level tower brings a substantial new presence to that waterfront. Its residential offering spans one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments, with Signature, Prestige and Sub-Penthouse collections accommodating different household sizes. The north-facing position connects the apartments visually to the river and city beyond.
Seven storeys above the promenade, the planned Oasis combines planting and a running stream with a Scandinavian-inspired wellness club developed with spa specialist Naomi Gregory. Facilities include a 25-metre lap pool, hot magnesium pool, sauna, hydrotherapy, a gym, yoga and Pilates room, and treatment spaces.
The amenity extends beyond exercise. Residents will have access to The Biblioteca library and workspaces, ground-floor work pods, and The Salone piano lounge. A private Chef’s Table dining room offers a setting for larger gatherings, while a cinema, games room and sports lounge broaden the entertaining options. Concierge services and a dog-wash area support everyday routines.
Trielle comprises a collection of one, two, three and four-bedroom residences. Reflecting strong demand from owner occupiers, approximately 80 per cent of purchasers to date intend to live in their homes, highlighting the project’s appeal to those seeking a long-term waterfront lifestyle.
Mirvac has recently delivered The Albertine, a premium apartment development on the edge of Melbourne’s CBD, and is nearing completion of Prince & Parade in Brunswick, further strengthening its portfolio of thoughtfully designed apartment communities in some of Melbourne’s most sought-after urban locations.
