Mindy Kaling finds a buyer for her downtown New York loft

Actress and producer Mindy Kaling is about to sell her midtown Manhattan loft.

A two-bedroom, two-bath home on One Kenmare Square, at the crossroads of Soho and Nolita, went on the market for $2.75 million last September and is currently under contract.

Kaling bought the site at 210 Lafayette Street for $3.1 million in 2017. The price of the contract is not clear, but we have heard that it is less than the purchase price.

What is clear, however, is that Kaling bought the apartment through a trust named after her favorite movie character: Meg Ryan’s Kathleen Kelly in the hit 1998 film by former New York Post writer-turned-Hollywood director Nora Ephron. Got mail.” A year later, Kaling transferred ownership of the apartment from the Kathleen Kelly Trust to the front company Kathleen Kelly LLC.

Kaling loves Kathleen Kelly so much that she even named a bar after her in The Mindy Project.

“The name of the bar our characters go to is called Kathleen Kelly’s. She was so stylish in her really understated hot Manhattan librarian style,” Kaling once said.

Kaling has also made a name for herself in TV series including The Office. It was there that she met B.J. Novak, with whom she had “an insanely complicated relationship” that could also be the subject of a romantic comedy. There were even rumors that he is also the father of her two children.

(Earlier this week, Novak presented Kaling with the Norman Lear Achievement Award at the Producers Guild Awards, where he praised her and spoke publicly about their “complex relationship” for the first time.)

The 1,166-square-foot apartment has 10-foot ceilings, a chic kitchen, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Williamsburg Bridge to Brooklyn. According to the description, the house has many coveted closets and is a “quiet haven away from the hustle and bustle of the area.”

Facilities in the building include a 24-hour doorman and a gym.

The listing brokers are Carl Gambino and Reilly Adler of Compass.
