The penthouse apartment that serves as the on-screen home of Kendall Roy on HBO’s Succession has sold for a whopping $35million.
It remains unclear who purchased the modern five bedroom, six-and-a-half bathroom residence — which spans the entire 90th floor of the luxurious 35 Hudson Yards apartment building — as New York City property records only show that it was purchased under a shell company, Sky Palace LLC.
The apartment was originally listed in 2021 for $59 million, boasting the city’s highest perched terrace that was on the market at the time, at 920 feet above street level. That’s 70 feet higher than the Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center.
It also boasts a private elevator landing and views of the World Trade Center, the Statue of Liberty, the East River Bridges and even the Atlantic Ocean.
The penthouse apartment rose to fame in the third season of the HBO show, serving as Kendall Roy’s newest residence as he plotted his rise to grandeur.
Kendall Roy is the second-oldest son of fictitious media mogul Logan Roy, played by Brian Cox.

Succession tells the story of Logan Roy’s children and their battle for control of Waystar RoyCo, the global media giant, which is facing an uncertain future due to the founder’s failing health.
Actor Jeremy Strong said in an interview with EW last year that the swanky apartment is ‘necessary’ to show off just how wealthy the characters in the show are.
‘I think it’s necessary that the rarified world that these characters live in, that we are in the show, and the show has that wingspan and that grandeur.
‘It was limited by the pandemic in terms of where we could go and what we could do, but I think they really pulled it off,’ he continued. ‘My apartment this year was at the penthouse at Hudson Yards [in Manhattan] which is a really spectacular piece of real estate.’
