Orlando Bloom Moves near Taylor Swift in Tribeca, Buys Condo for $4.8 Million

Orlando Bloom, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor, has reportedly plunked a plum $4.8 million on a bachelor pad condo in the same Tribeca building that Taylor Swift, the "Red" singer, supposedly purchased in.

News of Bloom's purchase comes months after he finalized his split with wife of three years, model Miranda Kerr.

"Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr have announced that they have been amicably separated for the past few months. After six years together, they have recently decided to formalize their separation," a spokesperson for the couple told Daily Mail.

"Despite this being the end of their marriage, they love, support and respect each other as both parents of their son and as family," the spokesperson added.

He recently sold off his home in Hollywood Hills, the one that he shared with Kerr and that was robbed by the "Bling Ring" group, for $3.9 million in an off-market deal.

Now that the family residence is sold, moving into a cozy bachelor pad in a svelte Tribeca building doesn't come as a surprise.

This is the same building where the "Lord of the Rings" director Peter Jackson listed. A few months after the listing emerged, speculations of Taylor swift being the buyer broke out. She was also spotted going in and out of the building several times, which only added fuel to the fire.

Now that bloom will be reprising his role of "Legolas the elf" in "Lord of the Rings", moving to a building where his director once lived isn't such a bad idea!

The New York Post revealed that Bloom is under contract to buy the fourth-floor, three-bedroom home in the 155 Franklin Street building. The cast-iron columns, exposed-brick walls and wood-beamed ceilings reportedly captured Bloom's heart.

Curbed reveals Bloom's condo is called the "Sugarloaf Condo." The floor plan provided by Streeteasy show that the entrance of the house opens into a large living room that has an open gourmet kitchen and a breakfast bar. Two guest bedrooms are to the right of the living room while the master suite is just adjacent to the left of the living area.

Describing the plush interiors of the residence, the listing said "These are among the architectural details which are coveted by many and rarely found."

"The Sugarloaf Condominium, a historic 1882 building on Franklin Street, the quintessential eye of the needle of TriBeCa," it added.
