John Krasinski and

Emily Blunt have sold their ninth-floor apartment at The Standish, a luxury residential building in Brooklyn Heights, for $6.5 million. The off-market deal, completed in June 2026, comes around two years after a trust linked to the couple purchased the property for $5 million.

According to property records cited by Patch, the sale was conducted through a trust associated with the actors, while the buyer used a limited liability company (LLC), keeping their identity private.

The transaction marks a $1.5 million increase over the apartment’s purchase price, representing a 30% rise in value in just over two years.

Inside John Krasinski and Emily Blunt’s Brooklyn Heights property

The nearly 1,600-square-foot apartment, identified as unit 9B, is located directly above the couple’s eighth-floor residence at The Standish. Similar apartments in the building’s B line feature three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Krasinski and Blunt initially purchased two apartments spanning the eighth floor of the building in 2018 for a combined $11 million. A trust linked to them acquired the ninth-floor unit in January 2024 for $5 million, with renovation permits subsequently filed, according to property and city records.

The reason behind their decision to buy the additional apartment and sell it later remains unclear.

The Standish has attracted several celebrity buyers

The sale adds to the list of high-profile real estate transactions at The Standish, a historic limestone-and-brick building completed in 1903.

Actor Matt Damon purchased a penthouse spanning approximately 6,000 square feet in the building for $16.7 million in 2017. Earlier in 2026, actor Adam Driver bought three sixth-floor apartments measuring a combined 3,500 square feet for $11.5 million.

The building offers residents amenities including a 24-hour doorman, a fitness centre and a rooftop terrace overlooking the harbour.

Krasinski, best known for The Office and the A Quiet Place franchise, and Blunt, who has starred in films such as The Devil Wears Prada and Mary Poppins Returns, have maintained a presence in the luxury property market.
