Tribeca Film Festival co-founders discount their Dakota home



The once-married co-founders of the Tribeca Film Festival are struggling to sell their marital home at the Dakota — as the latest price cut puts the long-listed unit at a staggering $24 million below its original ask, The Post has learned.

Jane Rosenthal and Craig Hatkoff have just re-listed their sprawling, multi-unit Upper West Side co-op for $15 million, down from $19 million last year — and far below the $39 million they sought in 2016, when they first floated the property on the market following their 2014 divorce.

The two had been married for 19 years.

The latest price drop marks the latest chapter in the listing’s history, which now spans nearly a decade. The two still own it jointly.

“It wasn’t the greatest divorce, but I don’t think it was totally about the apartment,” said a source familiar with the couple, who described the unit as once being the site of frequent gatherings.

“They hosted a lot of parties in the apartment and it has a beautiful, gracious layout and design.”

Spanning the entire eighth floor of the Dakota, the offering includes a 6,000-square-foot main residence with over 130 feet of Central Park frontage, plus additional flexible space — roughly 1,500 square feet — across the hall.

Together, the home encompasses 7,500 square feet with five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, 19 park-facing windows and four exposures. The unit includes period features such as 11-foot ceilings, coved archways, a formal dining room and two wood-burning fireplaces.

“It took 30 years and 20 transactions to create this home,” Benjamin P. Dixon of Douglas Elliman, who reps the listing, told The Post in a previous interview. “It was not easy to create, and it has the most Central Park frontage than any other residence in the building.”

The couple assembled the home over decades.

But after their split, the unit quietly began its descent through a gauntlet of unsold listings and slashed price tags. For a time, Hatkoff reportedly lived in another Dakota apartment they owned; records also show he owns a residence in Tribeca.

“The apartment was priced very high, and I’m not sure the Dakota has the same cachet it used to,” said the source. “It’s a huge apartment, though.”

When asked about the home’s return to market with the latest price cut, Dixon told The Post in a statement: “Now at $2,500 per square foot, this residence delivers unmatched value for a property of its scale and pedigree. You simply cannot replicate the grandeur, proportions, and craftsmanship of the Dakota anywhere else on Central Park West — or in Manhattan.”

The Dakota has a prime place in New York City history. It was built as the first luxury apartment building in America as the wealthy transitioned from living in mansions to smaller units that resembled their layouts.

The 1884 Gothic and Renaissance Revival building remains iconic for its architecture and lore — perhaps most infamously as the site of John Lennon’s assassination — but some in the luxury market now favor sleeker new developments.

Still, the Dakota remains a fortress of old New York glamour, with a who’s who of former residents: Roberta Flack, Boris Karloff and Lauren Bacall, who lived there for over 50 years.

Rosenthal is best known for producing “Meet the Parents” and “Wag the Dog,” while Hatkoff is a real estate financier and chairman of Turtle Pond Productions. Together with Robert De Niro, they co-founded the Tribeca Film Festival in the aftermath of 9/11.
