Actor Adam Driver may not have been raised in New York, but the actor is firmly declaring the state his home. After attending Juilliard, where he met his wife Joanne Tucker, he rose to fame on the HBO comedy “Girls” before becoming a household name with the success of the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy, where he portrayed the villainous Kylo Ren and the redeemed Ben Solo. Although he travels frequently for his roles, the two-time Oscar nominee recently made a massive real estate move with a giant price tag.
It looks like the “House of Gucci” is staying in Brooklyn Heights after all! The actor previously put his home on sale in the same neighborhood for $5 million. The apartment was a combined double unit that he created after buying two neighboring spaces in 2014 and 2017.
Now, it seems that Driver and his wife are looking for more space to raise their two children. As first reported in The New York Times, Driver dropped $11.5 million on three adjacent sixth-floor condo units at the historic Standish building.
The three new contiguous units reportedly span around 3,500 square feet, bringing the price tag to over $3,200 per square foot. Although the exact floor plans for the combined space have not been made public, combining multiple units in one apartment complex has become a way for celebrities to make the space their own.
Adam Driver’s Co-star Also Lives In The Building
The Standish is a 12-story Beaux-Arts building originally constructed in 1903 as a residential hotel, and Driver is not the only celebrity who lives there.
His “The Last Duel” costar Matt Damon, who is fresh off the success of Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” adaptation, shattered real estate records when he purchased the building’s penthouse spread for $16.74 million in 2018, as per Architectural Digest.
Actor John Krasinski and his wife, Emily Blunt, also previously owned a full-floor unit in the building, which they sold for $6.5 million.
Kevin Feige Reveals Adam Driver Turned Down Marvel Roles
@happysadconfused Kevin Feige says Adam Driver turning down Marvel has become a tradition
While speaking with host Josh Horowitz on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, Marvel boss Kevin Feige revealed that Driver has turned down joining the MCU so many times that it has become a “tradition.”
Feige said that “it’s not secret” that they’d like to work the “Ferrari” actor; however, it’s become a “tradition to Zoom with him and then he passes. That’s a long-lived tradition.”
That being said, Feige insisted that Driver “couldn’t be more cordial” and that he is “usually upfront about how he is feeling.”
At this time, he did not reveal what roles Driver passed on or whether he would be interested in joining the MCU at a later date.
‘Paper Tiger’ To Open The New York Film Festival
After having a successful premiere at Cannes, James Gray’s crime thriller “Paper Tiger” will open the 64th New York Film Festival on September 25. In addition to Driver, the film also stars Miles Teller as Driver’s brother and Scarlett Johansson as Teller’s wife.
This is the second time that Driver has shared the screen with Johansson, as she previously played his estranged wife in 2019’s “Marriage Story.”
In 2025, she told PEOPLE magazine that working with Driver was a “great” experience. “I love Adam as a person, and he is an absolutely extraordinary actor,” she said at the time. “If I could make every movie with Adam Driver, I would.”
Although she missed out on Cannes due to another commitment, she told The Hollywood Reporter, “I would’ve loved to have had even more scenework with him,” adding, “I love working with him.”
