- Share via
Singer-songwriter Paul Anka has purchased a unit at the Carlyle Residences, a newly built 24-story high-rise along the Wilshire corridor.
The condominium that Anka bought has two bedrooms in 2,800 square feet. The sales price was not available, but the unit was listed at $3.6 million. Condos with the same floor plan are priced from $2.7 million to $5.3 million.
The tower has 78 units with 2,700 to 5,000 square feet of living space. All have private elevator entrances and access to amenities, including concierge service, fitness facilities and a dining room.
Anka, 68, became a teen idol in the late ‘50s with the No. 1 smash “Diana.” He started working in movies in the ‘60s. “Lonely Boy,” another of his top hits, became the title for a 1962 documentary about his career. He appeared in Season 3 of “American Idol” singing a tongue-in-cheek version of “My Way” that satirized the show. Anka wrote the lyrics for the Frank Sinatra classic.
Valerie Fitzgerald of Coldwell Banker, Beverly Hills, was the sales agent.
