- Descendant of Stanley Ho’s casino legacy lists NYC brownstone at reduced price
- Ho, famously known as the “King of Gambling,” ruled Macau’s casino scene until 2000
A descendant of the late Stanley Ho’s multi-billion dollar casino empire, built over decades of gaming monopoly in Macau, has put his Upper West Side brownstone in New York City on the market.
Crain’s New York Business reported that Stanley Willers, a grandson of Ho through his four wives and 17 children, has put his expansive five-story, 5,139-square-foot home on the market for $9.6 million.
This elegant five-bedroom, six-bathroom townhouse boasts an abundance of sunlight through large windows. It is described in the listing as a “unique blend of architectural excellence, environmental impact, and luxurious refinement.” The property includes 1,400 square feet of outdoor space, an elevator servicing all floors, a private gym, and a modern ventilation system that refreshes the air throughout the home. The brownstone also features a rooftop deck.
The annual property tax amounts to $94,344, as indicated by the listing agents at Corcoran, the real estate firm established by Barbara Corcoran from “Shark Tank.”
Stanley Willers Background
Stanley Ho Willers is the son of Angela Ho, the eldest of the late casino mogul’s 17 children, and her then-husband, Uwe Willers. Angela was the daughter of Stanley Ho’s first wife, Clementina Leitao.
Details about Uwe Willers are scarce. Angela later divorced him and wed Peter Kjaer, a Danish artist and businessman. Together, they opened a ballet school in Hong Kong and previously owned an art gallery in New York City.
Stanley Willers has leveraged his substantial inheritance into his own entrepreneurial ventures, particularly in Ho Gaming.
Established in 2006, the Malta-based iGaming company operates in the B2B sector, offering live dealer and software management solutions for online casinos across Asia. Ho Gaming’s portfolio includes live dealer options for blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and sic bo.
NYC Real Estate
Willers’ mother purchased the property at 53 W. 71st Street in November 2012 for $5.99 million. After acquiring it, a multi-year renovation by Ingui Architecture transformed the brownstone, creating “a home of superior design and technical excellence.” The property was later passed down to her son.
This property boasts Passive House certification, which recognizes buildings that adhere to high energy performance standards established by the Passive House Institute US.
“Structures certified to Passive House standards can achieve up to a 90% reduction in energy necessary for heating and cooling, and up to 75% lower total energy consumption compared to conventional buildings,” clarifies the NYC Housing Preservation & Development website.
