Matt Damon just moved to a fancy new penthouse in Brooklyn Heights, New York… and he shut the place down in order to do it. The Oscar-winner reportedly closed down an entire street on Tuesday so he could move into his new place.
Damon bought the 6,000-plus-square-foot penthouse in 2018, which was Brooklyn’s most expensive apartment at the time with a price tag of $16-point-five-million. Local residents tell “Page Six” that he closed down the street “all day” for the move-in, and while there was no sight of Damon, there was a giant crane and a “huge team of contractors” loading in his stuff.
“We were all waiting for the grand piano to be wheeled out,” one resident says of Damon’s dramatic arrival. “We call the building the Standoffish because it is a little bit of Hollywood dumped in the middle of the more low-key Brooklyn Heights.”
