Coldplay’s guitarist, Jonny Buckland, has paid $3,400,000 to buy a two-bedroom, 2,107-square-foot condominium unit in a 116-year-old converted loft building in Manhattan’s East Village area.

 

The New York Observer’s Ben Abelson broke the story online on Tuesday morning of Buckland’s purchase of the <removed> floor, corner unit, then elaborated on the purchase in the paper’s “Manhattan Transfers” column

 

 

Indeed, records show that Buckland, 31, went to contract on the unit on September 10, with the deal closing on November 17. The deed was recorded with the city on Monday.

 

The Observer bent over backwards to emphasize the location of the building where Buckland bought, which is why we don’t mind also reporting that the 50-unit building’s address is <removed>.

 

Features in Buckland’s new unit, which had been listed for $3,550,000, include two and a half baths, loft-like windows, exposed brick, 14-foot-plus ceilings, an unobstructed view of Cooper Square and the famous Cube, custom recessed lighting throughout, a dramatic foyer (”perfect for showcasing your art collection,” as Abelson noted), extra-wide oak wood flooring, a washer/dryer hookup, soundproofed bedroom windows, central air conditioning, a custom tailored large closet space and an open Poggenpohl chef’s kitchen with a Viking refrigerator, a Bosch oven and range, and a Miele dishwasher, according to listing information. Other features include bathrooms with marble floors and full Neptune tubs, according to listing information.

uh,SO HARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

^ uh, yeah :thinking:

Geez... first the address and now the floor number!? :angry: That REALLY is going too far. It is bad enough the location of the block, but which floor is a real invasion of privacy. It's just plain creepy... :(

^^

 

agreed........ poor Jonny :\

Now he can be alone with Chris.

Agreed. Shouldn't be. I'm surprised there isn't a privacy thing Jonny could have signed or requested so that this sensitive info could not get out there. If such a thing does exist I wonder why it wouldn't have been utilized.

lucky jonny, a starbucks right below his house

I agree. Its why I didn't post the article on coldplaying when I saw it on tues. Its not fair to publish the address like that.

Now he can be alone with Chris.

Hahaha Daniel!!

 

I was thinking that too:P

 

:lol:

Quite a few

thats a lot of money!

The baby has to sleep on the couch while Chris is sleeping over

Hahaha!

 

But seriously this is starting to royally piss me off! :veryangry:

 

It's one thing for me and other harmless, hard-core stalkers to know about it but another thing entirely for the whole world to know! I think he should sell it. And sue the person who wrote the article.

 

.

OK that's it! I am emailing Debs. I want to be absolutely sure he knows this article is out there.

 

 

 

.

i'm so glad i know what make of stove, fridge and dishwasher jonny will be using :lol: :rolleyes:

 

i also agree with everyone: publishing the address is nuts. maybe he's not as susceptable to stalking or paparazzi action as chris is, but it's still absolutely insane to publish the address like that. i like to pretend i'm a stalker when i post on here, but i sincerely hope no real stalkers get hold of that.

 

for some reason, it took me a few moments to remember that jonny has a daughter and a very serious girlfriend. guess it's not so much of a bachelor pad after all--chloe will probably never let jonny have the guys round because she'd have to shush their giggling all night :P

"which why we don't mind..." What a bunch of jerks

It's utterly insane for anyone to publish the address like that. It's a lack of respect of his privacy, and in America the combination of stalkers and guns has been a deadly cocktail in the past.

 

I'm against the litigious nature of society in general, but I think Johnny has a good case to sue here for lack of privacy (assuming such laws exist in the US of course - anyone from the US know?)

 

He should claim the cost of moving or the extra cost of security he will need as a result of this stupidity as damages

 

Why can't they be left alone in peace? :angry:

Agree entirely

Just thinking. We post messages & comments on articles & blogs which slag Coldplay off. Maybe we should do the same for these articles telling them how disgusting we think it is.
