As buzz builds around his new film and possible new romance with Pamela Anderson, award-winning actor Liam Neeson has offloaded his longtime Manhattan apartment for $10.3 million.
The Irish-born actor is currently starring alongside Anderson in The Naked Gun, and the two are generating round-the-clock headlines about their rumored relationship while promoting the hit comedy, a reboot of the 1980s franchise.
Located on the 28th floor of a Lincoln Square skyscraper, Neeson’s now-former condo was created by combining three units to form one 4,500-square-foot residence containing five bedrooms. Perks include a chef’s kitchen, primary suite with two baths, and sweeping views of Central Park.
Neeson first bought the apartment in 1999, when married to actress Natasha Richardson, who died tragically in 2009. The couple shared two sons and raised them in the West 67th Street tower. (One son, Daniel, recently gave his dad’s potential coupling a stamp of approval, per the New York Post.)

The Taken star, who also owns a compound in Upstate New York and several properties in Ireland, listed the Manhattan apartment last summer for $12.75 million before taking it off the market and re-listing it with agent Matthew Coleman of Coleman Real Estate Group, who handled the current sale.

Besides the unit’s spacious interiors and panoramic vistas, the building’s location and in-house amenities were surely a draw to the new buyers. Among them are a 24-hour doorman, storage units, and a concierge, while a 140,000-square-foot Equinox Sports Club packed with perks is located on the ground floor. Its convenient Upper West Side location also provides easy access to shopping, transportation, and cultural amenities such as Lincoln Center and the American Museum of Natural History.
One of the bedrooms is spacious enough for its own sitting area.
