According to NY Daily News , Karlie Kloss, the Victoria's Secret supermodel, would be be able to get a big amount of money -- a little over $2 million -- after the building she is currently staying at in Manhattan, is bought by a real estate developer.
The bestfriend of the recent hits "Shake it Off" and "Blank Space" singer, Taylor Swift, is reportedly excited. Who will not be excited with $2 million? The VS model would be able to buy a new pad or have some extra dollars more in store for shopping.
The report from NY Daily News said that Kloss' profits will amass to more than double the initial investment of $1.98 million she parted with when she bought the two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit in the two-story West Village co-op way back in 2012.
The West Village Building board co-op decided to sell the 12-unit apartment to an investor. It is reported that the investor plans to demolish the whole building down to make way for a luxury, single-family compound. Although, it is reported that the investor may develop townhouses instead, according to NY Daily News.
According to the West Village listing broker, Sabrina Saltiel of Douglas Elliman, "An investor could build an 88-foot-wide private mansion on the property" He can even have himself a parking built underground.
Daily News also quoted Sabrina Saltiel remarking that "This is one of the largest development sites left in the West Village... This could be one of the most spectacular mansions in the city."
So, Taylor Swift's BFF must have to move out after everything is settled. In a way, she will not regret it because, with the asking price of $59million for a dozen units, she is about to profit well.
A report from The Real Deal quoted Karlie Kloss' words of excitement and happiness:
"I'm buying my very first home, my very first apartment," she said.
"It's beautiful. I can't wait to have a home in the city, and finally feel at home."
She is then set to find a home and settle her roots in the city.
It is now becoming apparent that Manhattan's housing market is growing and more developers are looking for investments in the city, noted The Real Deal, even displacing supermodels in the process.
