The Harry Potter star’s luxury new apartment is located on the fifth floor of a 13 storey block in Manhattan’s exclusive SoHo district.

Radcliffe plans to rent the property out for USD20,000 per month until he moves in just before the Broadway run of Peter Schaffer’s hit play Equus – in which Radcliffe strips off nude -starts in September 2008.

Designed by architect Jean Nouvel, the two-bedroom property, which boasts floor-to-ceiling windows and multiple bathrooms, is one of the “sexiest new developments” in the area, according to the actor’s letting agent Chris Pomeroy.

Radcliffe, who has an estimated fortune of UKP23 million, will also have access to a 50ft swimming pool, sauna and steam room and “hotel-like” services when he becomes a resident.

After getting his hands on his fortune on his 18th birthday last July, Daniel claimed he didn’t “have any plans to buy anything extravagant”, adding: “The things I like buying are things that cost about UKP5 – books, CDs and DVDs.”
