A source with knowledge of the matter claims that British musical icon Ed Sheeran has leased an apartment at Pierhouse, a new development in Brooklyn Bridge Park, New York City, for $36,000 per month.
Sarah Williams of Societe Real Estate previously listed the unit for rent as a completely furnished, 3,200-square-foot residence featuring four beds. Pierhouse, a condominium complex comprising approximately 100 units, is situated in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood. Notable buyers of the property include Amy Schumer and Matt Damon.
Property records indicate that the apartment was last sold for $6.01 million in 2018, but Mr. Sheeran’s landlord’s identity could not be immediately ascertained. In January, when it was listed for $36,000 per month, the Sheeran property in Brooklyn was the priciest rental available. It was discontinued from circulation approximately two months ago, as reported by StreetEasy.
According to the listing, the apartment features a private rooftop terrace with views of Brooklyn Bridge and lower Manhattan, in addition to an outdoor dining area and a barbecue. Walnut cabinets and Calacatta Tucci marble countertops adorn the kitchen. According to the listing, the apartment is furnished with items from Crate & Barrel, RH, and Serena & Lily, among others.
A representative for Mr. Sheeran could not be reached for comment at this time. Last week, Mr. Sheeran, whose Һit singles include “Shape of You” and “Perfect,” appeared in New York to testify before a federal jury in a copyright infringement trial. The trial revolves around the question of whether his song “Thinking Out Loud” excessively sampled Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On.”
Mr. Sheeran has residences in Suffolk, England, and London.
