New York Mets star Francisco Lindor — who scored a $341 million-dollar, decade-long contract with the franchise — is moving on up … town, that is.
We hear the shortstop was spotted checking out an $18 million penthouse apartment at the Charlotte on the Upper West Side.
The Columbus Avenue building is eco-friendly and focuses on sustainability, with their website touting offerings like, “Non-toxic interior materials and finishes” and a Passive House Institute certification that reduces “energy usage of up to 90 percent for heating and cooling and has exceptional air quality.”
The site also states, “The lobby and amenity spaces have separate, independent ventilation systems that keep fresh filtered clean air circulating at all times. The air is also treated with UV light to eliminate almost all pathogens and moderated to ensure comfortable temperature and humidity levels.”
Sounds useful in the age of COVID.
The building has just seven units. The penthouse has two floors, a terrace, walk-in closet, high ceilings, four bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths.
Lindor has a growing family. He wed Katia Reguero in December after a one-year engagement. The pair have a daughter.
He has said the best thing about the city is “the convenience to everything, at all times you can get something to eat.” But, “The worst part of living in New York is if you get stuck in traffic, you in traffic for a while.”
Lindor, known as “Mr. Smile,” previously played for Cleveland before signing the massive deal with the Mets last year.
The New York Post reported that he just tied Jose Reyes for most RBIs by a Mets shortstop in a season (81) and joined David Wright as the only Mets player ever to score at least one run in 13 straight games.
