Damon Dash a Landlord, for $18,000 a Month
Damon Dash.
When Mr. Dash purchased the 2,888-square-foot Laight Street triplex for $1.775 million in March 2004, he was still riding high as partner to Shawn (Jay-Z) Carter--running both Roc-A-Fella Records and the Rocawear clothing line. But in the last two years, the famous partners severed their business ties. Mr. Dash now has several business ventures, mostly in clothing.
The apartment's first floor is composed of a living room, a windowed state-of-the-art kitchen, and a powder room. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms with skylights. Other notable features include hardwood floors, oversized windows, walk-in closets, and a marble bath.
