Inside Ed Sheeran's $18.5 million waterfront pad
Ed Sheeran has snapped up a waterfront condo in Brooklyn Heights after renting there for two years. According to The Real Deal, the Grammy-winner and his wife, Cherry Seaborn, bought an unit at the Pierhouse condominium for less than $US12 million ($A18.5 million) after previously renting a different apartment in the same development. The off-market deal was made through Patrick Walker LLP, a UK-based entity registered to the couple, the New York Post reports. The deed for the transaction appeared in the city register last week.

It was last sold in 2017 for $US6.1 million by real estate broker Jillian Woods and her husband, Jordan Woods. While Woods confirmed to the outlet she was the seller, she declined to comment further. Sheeran is no stranger to the building. In 2023, he made headlines by signing the most expensive rental contract in Brooklyn that year, paying $US36,000 ($A55,000) a month for a different unit in the same building. That apartment, Unit S405, was later leased to a professional athlete and recently relisted for $US38,000 ($A58,000) a month. Pierhouse, developed by Toll Brothers City Living and Starwood Capital Group, launched sales in 2014 and has become a magnet for celebrity residents. Rapper Kendrick Lamar purchased a duplex there for $US8.6 million ($A13.2 million) in 2023. The 100-unit complex offers luxury amenities including two fitness centres, a garage with EV charging stations and 24-hour attended lobbies. The Sheeran deal comes amid continued strength in Brooklyn Heights' luxury market. While the area is typically dominated by high-priced townhouse sales, select condominiums have broken through the leaderboard. Just this month, a unit in the same building asked $US7.5 million ($A11.5 million), while another at 118 Remsen St. recently went into contract with a $US7.3 million ($A11.2 million) asking price. The neighbourhood's highest residential sale remains a townhouse at 8 Montague Terrace, which fetched $US25 million in 2020.
