Damon Dash foreclosure auction scheduled for Tribeca, N.Y., loft

Co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records, Damon Dash, is about to lose his duplex loft, which is located in a Tribeca, N.Y., “power building,” according to Curbed.com.

Dash, who purchased the 5,200 sq. ft. “stunner” in “The Atalanta” building for $3.875 million in 2004, currently owes his lender nearly $9 million after a refinance in 2006. He stopped paying the $78,000/mo. mortgage in late 2008.

Here’s a description of the property:

“This stunning 5,200 SF duplex loft boasts 20 foot ceilings in the living room, 4 bedrooms and 4 baths on TriBeCas best block. Add huge windows facing north and south, a mint kitchen and luxurious bathrooms, it leaves nothing to be desired. Located in the preeminent full service doorman building, the Atalanta, Must be seen!!”

The duplex is scheduled to be put on the auction block today (Wednesday, July 28, 2010) at 1 p.m. ET, during which a new buyer will emerge or the bank will claim possession of it.

Stay tuned.
