SOHO — The Broome Street loft where actor Heath Ledger died in 2008 has been converted into a condo that is expected to sell for $5 million.
Ledger was renting the 4,400 square foot fourth floor of the building at 421 Broome Street between Lafayette and Crosby streets when he was found dead of an accidental prescription pill overdose.
The New York Times reported that the building has been turned into condominiums, which people working in the building said were due to be put on the market any day now.
The owner of the building, Donald Burns, renovated the lofts after the actor's death, converted them into condominiums and added two floors to make a $20 million penthouse, the Times reported.
Other condos in the building were valued at $3.9 million, for a two-bedroom with 4,400 square feet of space and $5 million for a three-bedroom, the paper reported.
Ledger had rented the three-bedroom, 4,400 square foot loft for $23,000 a month, Curbed reported.
A real estate agent for the lofts with the Corcoran Group, Jim Farah, said the lofts were not yet on sale.
Just 28-years-old at the time of his death, Ledger starred in the films "10 Things I Hate About You" and "Brokeback Mountain" before posthumously winning the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role as The Joker in the movie "The Dark Knight."
Ledger had moved to the SoHo loft following his divorce from "Brokeback Mountain" co-star, Michelle Williams, with whom he had a daughter, Matilda.
Immediately following Ledger's death, police reported that the loft where Ledger died belonged to actress Mary-Kate Olsen but the NYPD and Olsen's spokesperson later said it was not her apartment.
