Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick has listed his Tribeca apartment for $3,450,000.
Background and Controversy
Kaepernick purchased the two-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment in New York City for $3,210,000 in 2017, amidst controversy. During his time as the San Francisco 49ers quarterback, he gained attention for kneeling during the national anthem to protest racial inequality. This action sparked a broader movement across the NFL but led to Kaepernick's release from the 49ers in early 2017. Despite becoming a free agent, he received no offers from other NFL teams and filed a grievance against the league, ultimately reaching a settlement.
Property Details
The apartment, spanning nearly 1,800 square feet, boasts abundant sunlight from multiple exposures. It is described as being in immaculate condition, featuring upgrades such as central AC, remodeled baths, closet built-ins, and in-unit laundry. Additionally, it includes a storage room and a parking spot.
Luxurious Amenities
Located in a boutique condo building, the apartment offers residents a range of amenities, including a full-time door attendant, an on-site resident manager, a private parking garage, a gym, and an outdoor heated pool. Its downtown Manhattan location at the corner of Tribeca and SoHo provides convenient access to various amenities, including shops, restaurants, art galleries, and transit options.
Kaepernick's Career and Current Ventures
Kaepernick, now 36, played college football with the Nevada Wolf Pack before being selected by the 49ers in the second round of the 2011 draft. During his six seasons with the 49ers, he led the team to the playoffs in 2012 and 2013. Despite not signing with another NFL team, Kaepernick reportedly maintains an ongoing deal with Nike.
