Cher Sells Condo in The Sierra Towers of Sunset Strip for $5.25 Million - West Hollywood (90069) - For Sale & For Lease

Cher has just sold her condo in the Sierra Towers of West Hollywood for $5.25 million! The 4000 sq ft property had amazing jetliner views of Los Angeles. She is leaving behind other celebrities such as Elton John, Lindsay Lohan, Matthew Perry, Courtney Cox, Brody Jenner, etc.

The Sierra Towers of West Hollywood, designed by architect Jack A. Charney, is located at 9255 Doheny Road at the base of the Hollywood Hills just off the famous Sunset Strip. The Sierra Towers is often considered the most luxurious and exclusive residential condo in all of Los Angeles. The building offers panoramic views of all of Los Angeles from the mountains to downtown LA to the Pacific Ocean and boasts of amenities and services including 24-hour valet and concierge services, pool, spa, fitness center, ballroom, catering kitchen, and more.

The 32-story building was originally built in 1964 and has 146 units. Each floor has around 6 units, but some units have been combined over the years. The units typically have one to three bedrooms and floor to ceiling windows.

The building is unique in that it is 15 stories taller than any other building in a two-mile radius, giving it unobstructed views. With current zoning and building restrictions, there will unlikely be another similar tower built in the surrounding area.

There are currently 4 properties for sale in the building ranging from $2.175 to $3.495 million. There is also a small separate staff quarters in the building listed at $395,000.

The Sierra Towers is a great place to purchase a property if you are interested in a luxurious Hollywood lifestyle. Of course, there are also other more affordable buildings and condos in the West Hollywood/Sunset Strip area.

Please feel free to contact me at (310) 717-1321 or JamieTian@RodeoRE.com if you are interested in purchasing, selling, or leasing a unit in the Sierra Towers or another condo in Los Angeles!
