Thierry Henry is once again trying to sell his New York home. The former Arsenal and Barcelona striker and his partner, Andrea Rajacic, have put their penthouse at 39 Crosby Street, in the heart of SoHo, back on the market with an asking price of $25 million. Vanity Fair Italia toured the property in a photo gallery this weekend, and the listing is held by Joshua Judge of Sotheby’s International Realty.
A New York chapter that began in 2010
Henry bought the apartment in 2010, the year he moved to the city to play for the New York Red Bulls. According to Vanity Fair Italia, the couple had viewed several homes without finding the right one until they saw this penthouse, and knew straight away it was the place for them. After he retired and settled in London, Robb Report says, the couple kept it as a holiday base. They first tried to sell it in 2025 for $26.75 million, then withdrew it because they were too attached to let go.
Glass, marble and 360-degree views
The home spreads over several levels, with roughly 521 square metres inside and about 427 square metres of terraces, according to the listing details reported by Vanity Fair Italia. There are five bedrooms and five full bathrooms, plus two private parking spaces linked to a key-operated lift, so residents can go straight from the car to the front door, a real rarity in Manhattan.
The main living floor is built around a great room with ceilings of more than four metres, a gas fireplace and walls of glass framing the Brooklyn Bridge and One World Trade Center. A marble kitchen island sits among made-to-measure Italian cabinetry, and a rooftop terrace of around 113 square metres comes with its own outdoor kitchen. Elsewhere, an indoor bamboo garden leads to a media room with a second terrace, while the main suite takes up an entire floor, complete with two spa-style bathrooms and separate dressing areas.
The building itself has a long history. It was designed in 1872 by the architect Edward H. Kendall in the Neo-Grec style, with the cast-iron and brick front typical of the SoHo Cast Iron Historic District, and was converted into a small block of flats in 2010.
A home of cool marble, glass and city light suggests a jewellery palette to match: icy topaz earrings, soft blue aquamarine pendants and deep sapphire rings, with our men’s rings for a quietly polished finish.
