Colin Kaepernick has quietly parted ways with his luxury New York City estate.
The former NFL quarterback recently sold his longtime Tribeca condo, closing the deal at approximately $2.82 million, according to property records. The final price landed below the $3.21 million he paid when he purchased the residence in 2016, marking the end of an era tied closely to a pivotal chapter in his life.
Kaepernick bought the condo inside One York, a boutique Tribeca building designed by architect Enrique Norten, just months before his decision to kneel during the national anthem drew global attention. That moment shifted his football career and cemented his role as a prominent voice in athlete activism.
The downtown apartment spans about 1,733 square feet and features a flexible two to three-bedroom layout. A dedicated home office can easily convert into an additional bedroom. The unit opens into a foyer that leads to an open living and dining space, anchored by a sleek chef’s kitchen with glass-front cabinetry. Design highlights include 9.5-foot ceilings, oversized windows, and wide plank oak flooring throughout.
The primary bedroom offers custom closets and an en suite bathroom, while the second bedroom provides sweeping city views. The sale also included a temperature-controlled storage unit and a rare parking space within the building’s automated garage, a premium feature in Manhattan.
Amenities at One York include a rooftop heated pool, sundeck, and full-service building perks that have long attracted low-key celebrity residents.
Kaepernick played six seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, leading the team to Super Bowl XLVII. Since leaving the league, he continues to train while building a family life with his wife, Nessa Diab, and their daughter, born in 2022.
