Denton, a digital media pioneer, has decided to sell his spacious 2,152-square-foot corner loft as he and his family prepare for their move across the Atlantic. Having spent much of his time shuttling between Europe and New York in recent years, Denton expressed his deep appreciation for his home in a recent statement, saying, “For the last few years, I’ve been shuttling back and forth between Europe and New York.

So, I compare the apartment to hotels in London and Paris. And I appreciate our home even more. Croissants for breakfast from the French bakery across the way, business meetings in the red-leather booths in Balthazar, and Equinox just a block away — better than any hotel gym. Five stars!”

The condo is located on the second floor of a building that blends the exclusivity of a townhouse with the security of a full-service structure. Accessible through a private entrance or the building’s doorman-monitored lobby, the unit boasts nearly 13-foot ceilings, wraparound southeast-facing windows, and several original architectural elements such as cast-iron columns and wooden ceiling beams that reflect the area’s industrial past.

The home’s primary suite is a sanctuary, offering a teak-clad bath with a Japanese soaking tub and rain shower. Denton’s favorite spot is a small nook opposite the master bedroom, which he uses for work, explaining that his children have developed a city-based interest in “trucks” and “fire engines.”

Denton has a history with the loft; in 2016, it was briefly on the market for $4.25 million, and it was also rented out for $14,000 a month. The media mogul famously ran the Gawker empire from this very space, where he and his team sparked cultural conversations with bold stories. Now, Denton is ready to pass on the baton, leaving the property behind for its next chapter.
