Strong, whose musical Chess heads to Broadway this fall, called the duplex “my dream home,” previously telling The Post, “We are so excited to be moving there.”
He and Mehner, new parents to a 7-month-old daughter, had been looking for more space to accommodate their growing family.
Designed by architect Gordon Kahn with interiors by Eric Hughes, the home includes a chef’s kitchen, a nanny’s room, and a glass-and-steel staircase leading to a home office.Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images
It features 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, two fireplaces, and striking details like a gold-tiled bar, marble fireplaces, and a spa-like main bathroom with Empire State Building views.Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images

The purchase also marks a bit of a real estate shuffle.
Strong is in contract to sell his current residence at 299 West 12th Street — the sam Emery Roth-designed building where Cohen just purchased a new penthouse for $18.21 million, The Post reported.
That unit reportedly features over 2,000 square feet of outdoor space, something Cohen had long been seeking.
“Outdoor space was the decision! I always have coveted outdoor space,” Cohen told People. “There is a dearth of inventory in the West Village with outdoor space, so when I found something that was meaningful enough for me to leave my dream apartment … that’s what it took.”

The sale also marked a professional milestone for real estate broker and former Million Dollar Listing New York star Ryan Serhant, who shared news of the contract on Instagram back in May.
“Congrats @bravoandy,” he wrote, adding, “Thanks for trusting me and @serhant with your home.” Serhant later told The New York Times, “It’s one of those treasures that you wait your whole career for.”
Cohen had initially listed the property for $14 million in September 2024 before cutting the price by $2 million earlier this year.
The duplex ultimately found a buyer after about eight months on the market.

Serhant and Donna Strugatz of Serhant represented the listing, while Jonathan Stein of Douglas Elliman represented Strong.
Inside, the home features 4.5 bathrooms, two wood-burning fireplaces, wide-plank oak floors, and 25 windows offering views of Jackson Square Park, the Empire State Building, and the Chrysler Building.
The main suite boasts a custom dressing room, a corner bath with a teak soaking tub, and a marble steam shower. Other highlights include a lacquered bar, a gold-tiled powder room, and a chef’s kitchen with cobalt blue cabinetry.
Strong is best known for scripting Recount, The Butler, Dopesick, and two Hunger Games films.
