Former mayor Rudy Giuliani has listed his decadeslong Manhattan co-op, which was raided by the FBI in 2021, for $6.5 million.
Located on the Upper East Side at 45 East 66th Street, the home first hit the market at the end of July.
Records obtained by The Post show that Giuliani, 79, purchased the three-bedroom, three-bathroom corner unit in 2002 for $4.8 million.
It is unclear why Giuliani is selling his longtime home and whether this means he is leaving the Big Apple for good, but a source tells The Post that he could be gearing up for other possible court cases.
One legal eagle told The Post: “There is no doubt that if he is federally indicted he will need top-notch lawyers to see his case through. Most criminal indictments on the federal level can take years to prosecute and you are responsible for paying your lawyers throughout. It will cost a pretty penny.”
“I am not aware of his financial circumstances, but considering what he could be up against, it is not uncommon to sell assets or even list your home for some quick income.”
The Post has reached out to Giuliani’s reps for comment.
Located a stone’s throw away from Central Park, the Manhattan residence includes a wood-burning fireplace and a semi-private elevator landing. Features of the building include a 24-hour doorman and a rule barring construction work during the summer.
Designed by renowned architects Harde & Short in 1906 and classified as a landmark in 1977, the home boasts original details and high ceilings, according to the listing.

Situated on the 10th floor, this is the same residence that was raided by federal agents on April 28, 2021, during their probe into Giuliani’s alleged dealings in Ukraine. At the time, Giuliani was being investigated over whether he illegally lobbied former President Donald Trump on behalf of officials and oligarchs in Ukraine.

The FBI raided Rudy Giuliani’s home on April 28, 2021, during its investigation into his alleged dealings in Ukraine. James MesserschmidtGiuliani shot back, accusing federal authorities of “trying to frame me” — and alleged that he was under investigation because of his work for former President Donald Trump.
“Usually a person who has been a former assistant US attorney, a US attorney, a mayor, the associate attorney general, usually they receive a subpoena — not have their home raided,” Giuliani said at the time in an interview with Fox News.
“The only lawyers they raid are lawyers for Donald Trump. I can’t think of another lawyer that has been raided other than lawyers for Trump.”
He added that during the raid, they purposefully ignored copies of Hunter Biden’s computer hard drives and blamed the investigation on “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
The unit, which boasts three bedrooms and three bathrooms, is now up for sale at $6.5 million. James Messerschmidt“You’re not going to stop me. And you’re not going to convict me of some phony crime,” the former New York City mayor said.
In November 2022, prosecutors eventually dropped the case and let a Manhattan federal court judge know that they would not be pursuing criminal charges following their investigation.
Despite avoiding criminal charges in 2022, it looks like “America’s Mayor” allyship with Trump could land him in hot water once again.
The unit was put up for sale five days before the former president was indicted for his alleged role in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election. While not explicitly named, it’s widely believed that “co-conspirator one” in the indictment is Giuliani himself.

A year after he purchased the UES co-op, Giuliani married Judith Nelson on the lawn of Gracie Mansion.
Following their divorce 16 years later, Nelson lived in the unit until May 2019. While Giuliani held onto the co-op after the divorce was finalized, she received the Hamptons home in Water Mill, which she sold in 2021 for $5 million.
It’s unclear which property in Giuliani’s portfolio is his primary residence, but he purchased a home in Florida in 2020.
