Is Gracie Abrams Building a $12 Million Mega-Penthouse in NYC?

"The Grammy-nominated pop star, budding real estate mogul, and daughter of Hollywood director J.J. Abrams spent $4.5 million on an apartment at Greenwich Village's One Fifth Avenue. The landmarked Art Deco structure, designed by architect Harvey Wiley Corbett in 1926, originally served as a luxury hotel before being converted into a residential co-op in 1976."

"Since late 2024, the singer has snagged a total of three units. She owns a three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence on the 18th floor, which was combined from two separate units, for $5.5 million in early 2025. The modern dwelling was initially on the market with an asking price of roughly $6 million; however, the price tag dropped to $5 million by the time Abrams closed on the deal in December 2025."

"Abrams's newest apartment sits adjacent to her other 18th-floor unit. Similarly, it consolidates two smaller apartments into a large one-bedroom space with two terraces. While it's unclear what Abrams plans to do with her multiple penthouses, she could easily configure her same-level units into a mega-dwelling. If merged, it would boast a total of five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and five terraces with views of Washington Square Park."

Gracie Abrams, Grammy-nominated pop star and daughter of director J.J. Abrams, has acquired three residential units at One Fifth Avenue, a landmark Art Deco building in Greenwich Village designed by Harvey Wiley Corbett in 1926. Her latest purchase is a one-bedroom apartment with two terraces for $4.5 million, located adjacent to her previously acquired 18th-floor three-bedroom unit purchased for $5.5 million. She also owns a 16th-floor midcentury unit acquired for $1.95 million in November 2024. The building's units could potentially be merged into a mega-dwelling featuring five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and five terraces overlooking Washington Square Park. One Fifth Avenue has historically housed numerous celebrities including Jessica Lange, Patti Smith, Keith Richards, Tim Burton, and Helena Bonham Carter.
