The three-bedroom penthouse where pop star Lady Gaga once lived atop the iconic Hit Factory building has hit the market. Before it was converted into residential units, the iconic recording studio location produced The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Ready to Die” album.

The legendary studio is now a coveted residential building with a live-in resident manager, doorman team, gym, and private parking. Penthouse C, listed with an asking price of $6,995,000, spans 3,700 square feet, with three bedrooms, a flexible space that can be made into a fourth bedroom, three full and one half baths, and a spectacular corner location.

On the upper floor, the primary suite features multiple seating areas and a complete wall of windows.
