Take a look inside the 5 penthouses Johnny Depp owned in Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES – The photos offer a rare look inside actor Johnny Depp’s five former penthouses in Los Angeles.

Depp has been embroiled in an ongoing court battle with his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard. On April 11, the two returned to the spotlight in a defamation trial. The trial focused on Depp’s allegation that Heard smeared him in a 2018 article in The Washington Post. The op-ed did not name Depp but alluded to their public strife: “Two years ago, I became the face of family abuse and I feel the full extent of the outrage of our culture. our culture towards women who speak out.”

Depp penthouses are not currently on the market. Report on the top 10 real estate deals Depp sold them for nearly $10.9 million in 2017.

The Los Angeles Eastern Columbia building, which has five penthouses side by side, was built in 1930. The 13-story structure was designed by architect Claud Beelman. It was originally built to house the Oriental Apparel Company and Columbia Apparel Company. Top Ten Real Estate Deals says the building is “regarded as one of the city’s finest examples of Art Deco architecture still standing”. The building was refurbished in 2007 shortly before Depp began acquiring individual units.

In total, the apartments are approximately 11,500 square feet, including four two-bedroom units and one one-bedroom unit.

The five units were never consolidated, but he treated them as if they were parts of a larger whole, according to the Top Ten Real Estate Deals.
