Mariah Carey Lists Iconic Tribeca Penthouse at 90 Franklin Street With Sotheby's International Realty
In the heart of Tribeca, a truly one-of-a-kind residence has entered the market. The penthouse at 90 Franklin Street, formerly home to Mariah Carey, is now being offered for the first time, presenting a rare opportunity to own a property defined by scale, light, and unmistakable cultural significance.
Spanning the top three floors of one of downtown Manhattan’s most sought-after addresses, the residence offers over 12,700 square feet of interior space, complemented by 1,100 square feet of private outdoor living. With four exposures, the home is filled with natural light throughout the day and delivers sweeping 360-degree views—from the Hudson River to the Manhattan skyline.
Design Pedigree Meets Pop Culture Legacy
Originally designed by acclaimed interior designer Mario Buatta, the residence carries both design pedigree and cultural cachet. Known for his bold, layered approach to interiors, Buatta’s influence is evident in the home’s sense of grandeur and personality. Beyond its design, the penthouse holds a distinct place in pop culture, having once belonged to one of the most recognizable names in music. This blend of architectural significance and celebrity provenance sets it apart in a competitive luxury market.
The layout is as compelling as its scale. The 16th floor can function independently, while the 17th and 18th floors create a distinct upper duplex crowned by a private roof terrace. This flexibility allows for a variety of living arrangements—whether as one expansive private residence or a thoughtfully reimagined space for a design-driven buyer.
The home features:
- 8 bedrooms
- 6 full bathrooms and 3 half baths
- 12,728 square feet of interior living space
At the top, the private roof terrace offers a true retreat in the city, complete with an indoor-outdoor room and fireplace—an ideal setting for both quiet mornings and evenings overlooking the skyline.
A Rare Opportunity in Downtown Manhattan
Properties of this scale, history, and adaptability rarely come to market—especially in Tribeca, where demand for large, light-filled residences continues to grow.
Whether preserved in its current form or reimagined as a modern architectural statement, the penthouse at 90 Franklin Street represents a unique intersection of lifestyle, design, and legacy.
