The basketball star, who grew up in New Jersey, will have to leave behind several luxury homes in his home state after being traded to the Dallas Mavericks by the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday.
Irving, who has had numerous arguments with Nets owner Joe Tsai, owns two properties in the Garden State.
In 2019, Irving, now 30, purchased a three-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse in Union City — about a 40-minute drive from the Nets’ practice facility in Brooklyn — for $925,000.
Occupying 3,130 square feet, the property offers breathtaking views of the New York skyline.Described as an “extremely rare loft in authentic SoHo style,” the residence features a locking elevator, oversized windows, wide-plank hardwood floors, 13-foot ceilings, original beams, exposed brick, original industrial elements preserved, and a designer. Kitchen with stainless steel appliances.
The home’s open floor plan includes two spacious living areas. According to real estate records, his sister, Asia Irving, also owns an apartment in the same building.
Meanwhile, Irving has another location in West Orange, located outside of Newark.
The leader purchased the nine-bedroom, seven-bathroom property four months before purchasing his Union City loft for $1.17 million, records obtained by The Post.
Spanning approximately 8,000 square feet and billed as a “mid-century contemporary gem,” the property sits on a 2-acre lot surrounded by mature trees and foliage.
The home features cathedral ceilings, detailed moldings, and stone and hardwood floors.
Features include indoor and outdoor pools, multiple entertainment areas, and open-concept living areas.

Built in 1967, the house has been renovated several times since and is currently estimated to be worth $1.8 million.
Sources told the Post that Irving was able to break the lease on his previous place in Brooklyn Heights, where he was paying $17,000 a month during the pandemic. Around this time he began living in Jersey on a more permanent basis.
It’s unclear what Irving plans to do with the property now that his career has taken him to the Lone Star State. The Post has requested comment.
Irving had expressed his displeasure with the Nets in the weeks leading up to the trade.
“I just knew I wanted to be a place where I was celebrated and not just tolerated or treated in a way that didn’t make me feel respected,” Irving said Tuesday, meeting with the media for the first time since his trade.
“There were times throughout this process when I was in Brooklyn, where I felt very disrespected…I work extremely hard at what I do. However, no one talks about my work ethic. Everyone was talking about what I was doing.
