Long gone are the days of rockstars flinging television sets out hotel windows. In 2026, a famous musician’s home is more likely to resemble a well-kempt, hi-fi listening lounge. Look no further than the Dumbo condo of Joe Jonas, complete with an extensive art collection and a trove of vinyl rare enough to make any crate digger green with envy.
Just over two years after purchasing his Brooklyn home for $6.5 million, the 36-year-old singer and actor is putting his lofty corner back unit on the market for a modest markup. He’s asking $6.75 million for the three-bedroom, four-bathroom property, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows and 26-story-high views of the Manhattan Bridge.
The 2,700-square-foot condo is located in the sail-shaped luxury tower Dumbo Olympia. The building has become a kind of shorthand for Brooklyn luxury in recent years: Ben Simmons from the Nets calls it home, and its 32nd-floor penthouse doubled as Denzel Washington’s contemporary art-filled residence in Spike Lee’s latest movie Highest 2 Lowest.
Jonas’s apartment is also filled with art, including pieces by Andy Dixon, Daniel Arsham, and other makers Jonas discovered in small galleries and artists’ studios while touring around the world. In an interview with CULTURED editor-in-chief Sarah Harrelson for her forthcoming book, The Cultured Collector, Jonas said the process of looking “really helped me understand my own taste—what moves me and what doesn’t. At the end of the day, for me to bring something home, it has to hit me emotionally.”
Jonas spends much of his time on the road (he is currently finishing up a yearlong 20th anniversary tour with the Jonas Brothers), so building a welcoming and nourishing home base has always been a priority. “New York feeds creativity like no other place,” the singer told Harrelson. “The city’s energy has definitely made me bolder—I’m less afraid to take risks or mix things that don’t ‘fit.’”
The interiors, designed by Sarah Ivory, combined with Jonas’s trove of art, offer a window into his taste for the bold. Inside the primary bedroom hangs work by Ryan Hewett, an artist Jonas credits as his gateway into collecting years ago. Hewett’s painting Origin 1 is a reliable source of provocation for visitors. “It’s unexpected, and people always ask about it,” Jonas said. “It ends up being the start of every conversation, which I love—that’s what great art should do, pull you in and make you curious.” One day, Jonas told Harrelson, he even dreams of opening a gallery of his own.
Jonas moved into the Dumbo home from Nolita, where he sold his longtime apartment in 2024 for $5.3 million. The Brooklyn pad is outfitted with blond hardwood flooring and custom white oak shelving. Through the entry foyer, pocket doors reveal an eat-in kitchen with a walk-in pantry, Gaggenau appliances, and a sleek wood-and-marble island. The spa-inspired ensuite terrazzo stone bathroom contains a freestanding tub. The listing also boats a “speakeasy-inspired lounge” outfitted in crimson paint.
The building’s amenities—which include an indoor and outdoor pool, an outdoor tennis court, and even a water park for children—befit its celebrity clientele. The apartment is listed by real estate mogul and fellow art collector Carl Gambino of Gambino Group at Compass.
