The Seattle Penthouse That Inspired Christian Grey’s ‘Fifty Shades’ Home Just Hit the Market

Fans of Fifty Shades of Grey can now channel Christian Grey in all his glory, as the ritzy penthouse that inspired the billionaire businessman’s fictional home in the erotic romance film trilogy has just popped up for sale at the Escala residential tower in downtown Seattle, just minutes from Pike Place Market, for $11.5 million.

The Escala building was completed in 2009, and this penthouse first traded hands in 2010 for $5.9 million, according to Mansion Global, which first reported the listing. In 2016, a year after Fifty Shades of Grey was first released, the unit sold for $8 million. Shortly after the third movie in the trilogy came out in 2018, it returned to the market for $11.5 million. Magouyrk, who bought it a year later, has since relocated to Nashville, where Oracle is building a 65-acre campus to house its world headquarters.
