A tech power couple is selling their beautiful New York City apartment for $2.2 million

A New York City apartment belonging to a noted couple in tech has hit the market for $2.2 million.

The owners of the East Village home are Jeff Hammerbacher, an early Facebook employee and cofounder of Cloudera, and his wife Halle Tecco, founder of medical venture fund Rock Health. They bought the apartment from Chloe Sevigny for $1.76 million in 2012.

The couple then spent nine months renovating the space.

"We struggled to use color in our last apartment in San Francisco, which was all gray and navy, so we really wanted to experiment with color, pattern, and texture in this home," Tecco told Business Insider.
