Designer Michael Kors has had a busy month—selling a Manhattan apartment on the eve of New York Fashion Week.

Mr. Kors sold the 2,200-square-foot rooftop unit for $7.625 million at The Greenwich—a century-old department store in Greenwich Village converted into 67 luxury condominiums in 2001, according to city property records.

He sealed the off-market deal on Feb. 5, the day before New York Fashion Week commenced. The buyer is listed in records only as a limited liability company, EDHNY LLC.

Mr. Kors, 58, bought the home in 2006 from comedy talk show host Jon Stewart for nearly $4 million, according to property records.

Photos from Mr. Stewart’s time show a vast outdoor terrace covered with plants spanning more than 1,500 square feet. At the time, the home was fashioned as a one-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment, according to a former listing with Douglas Elliman.

The designer, who put on a fashion show for his fall 2018 ready-to-wear collection on Valentine’s Day, never publicly listed the property. That leaves details of how Mr. Kors decorated and updated the unit to the imagination.

But the 12-story building boasts high ceilings ranging from 11 to 14 feet, open kitchen floor plans with fireplaces, maple cabinetry and granite countertops, according to a description of the building on StreetEasy.

Building amenities also include a doorman, gym and children’s playroom.

An email sent to Mr. Kors’s eponymous company was not immediately returned.

Women’s Wear Daily first reported the sale.
