Taylor Swift is not only an 11-time Grammy winning singer-songwriter and iconic popstar but also a surprising real estate investor. The acclaimed American artist has spent $50 million on a single cobblestoned street in the Tribeca neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, New York. Beside her $18 million townhome at 153 Franklin St., she also owns three units at 155 Franklin St. totaling near $30 million. In 2014, Swift purchased an $19.95 million penthouse duplex at 155 Franklin St. from “Lord of the Rings” director Peter Jackson. Later on, she purchased another $9.75 million unit in the same building.

Other notable residents of the charming brick building include Orlando Bloom, comedian Aziz Ansari, former New York Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh, and Steven Soderbergh. Now another unit, on the fourth floor of 155 Franklin, has sold for $9.99 million. While the space was intended to serve as a rental, the buyer reportedly fell in love with the unit and purchased it on the spot crowning them the title of Taylor’s swift’s new neighbor.

The classic 19th-century building formerly served as the Sugarloaf Warehouse before its conversion into a 6.5 story residential space. Spanning 3,532 square feet, the newly purchased Tribeca unit features four bedrooms and three baths. The marvelous great room highlights corner exposure, a woodburning fireplace, and oversized windows for plentiful natural lighting. The open chef’s kitchen is equipped with a quaint breakfast bar. The luxurious primary bathroom encapsulates a spa like atmosphere and offers a dressing room and private seating area. Decorative elements of the home consists of classic loft features such as cast-iron columns, exposed brick, and wood-beamed ceilings.

Kirsten Jordan of Douglas Elliman, a star of “Million Dollar Listing New York,” as well as Karishma Sani of Douglas Elliman held the listing for this property.
