'Mac Guy' Buys Into Lower East Side's Blue

Actor Justin Long, best-known for his starring role in a series of Macintosh computer commercials, has purchased an apartment at the high-rise Blue luxury complex at 105 Norfolk St., on the Lower East Side.

The two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment, listed by the Corcoran Group, was purchased for $2.4 million, according to the real estate Web site StreetEasy.com.

The 32-unit building, distinctive for its pixilated blue glass and contorted form, was designed by a former dean at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation, Bernard Tschumi, and completed in September.

Mr. Long will move into a 1,975-square-foot unit called "Tower 15," which features palm floors and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Manhattan skyline. The apartment, one of two floor-throughs, includes a combined living-dining area, a walk-in closet, a windowed study, and a kitchen furnished with Boffi cabinetry and countertops.

Mr. Long plays the rumpled but relaxed "Mac Guy" in television commercials for Apple. A tabloid fixture because of his relationship with the actress Drew Barrymore, he appeared last summer alongside Bruce Willis in the film "Live Free or Die Hard."

Mr. Long's publicist, Chantelle Aspey, declined to comment.
