Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping, Sports

Charlotte Bobcats owner and basketball legend Michael Jordan is putting down roots in Charlotte, North Carolina. Although Jordan is at work on a lavish Florida mansion he also needs a home in Charlotte (in addition to his longtime Chicago residence). The Charlotte Observer reports that Jordan is combining two units in the Trust, a condo building walking distance from the Time Warner Cable Arena.

He bought the two top-floor penthouses at The Trust for $3.15 million to create one massive 7,000-square-foot residence with his own private elevator.

The seven-floor Trust building is home to the Chima Brazilian Steakhouse and eight units. The former Home Federal Savings and Loan Building was built in 1967. Building amenities include a private rooftop lounge. The condos have gourmet kitchens, outdoor living spaces, grilling areas and gas fireplaces.
