Mariah Carey is selling her triplex atop 90 Franklin Street, which was featured in Architectural Digest and “MTV Cribs” and exemplifies the rarified experience of penthouse living. Asking $27 million, the three-floor, 12,700-square-foot home has 1,100 square feet of outdoor space, wrapped by dazzling Hudson River and Manhattan skyline views in every direction. With interiors designed by Mario Buatta, the Art Deco residence is no less opulent today.
In 1999, the “Queen of Christmas” paid $9 million for two top-floor units, the penthouse and a full-floor unit below, at the 100-year-old bank building Franklin Tower, which was converted from offices to apartments. The listing marks the first time the home will be available since Carey lived there.
The world first got a look at her glamorous penthouse in an iconic episode of “MTV Cribs” in 2002, where the singer famously exercised in stilettos and took a bath. In the episode, Carey also mentioned, but did not reveal, Marilyn Monroe’s white baby grand piano, which she paid over $660,000 for in 1999.
In 2022, as 6sqft reported, Carey hosted “Mariah’s Ultimate Holiday Experience,” a Booking.com partnership that included a Christmas-themed photoshoot in the penthouse.
For space alone, the possibilities are about as endless as you’d imagine in a home this size. The 16th floor is a downtown paradise on its own. The two floors above add up to a sky mansion topped by an endless private terrace. Combined, it’s an estate of epic proportions.
The listing description says the next owner can “enjoy it as one expansive private home or reimagine it as an exceptional blank canvas for a developer or design-minded buyer.”
Surrounding a stunning glass-wrapped rotunda, the jewel atop this trophy-level downtown crown is a vast roof terrace. The airstrip-sized patio features an indoor/outdoor room with a fireplace for multi-season use.
The condominium tops a 17-story Art Deco brick tower built as a bank in 1915. Historic details like high, beamed ceilings and exposed brick give the space a graceful pre-war elegance.
Amenities include a doorman, a concierge, and a gym.
