David Ortiz is used to swinging for the fences. However, the former Boston Red Sox slugger has traded his garden fence for a condo’s luxury amenities, having just agreed to buy a branded residence at ORA by Casa Tua, the New York Post reports.
Ortiz, who sold his Miami-area mansion for $10.6 million two years ago, is happy to put his money where his mouth is as Casa Tua is part of an upscale restaurant chain with locations in Miami, New York, Paris, and Aspen, Colorado. He recently posed for a photo at the building’s sales office with his broker, who promptly posted it on Instagram.

Ortiz’s ex-wife, Tiffany, oversaw the construction and development of his former mansion, The Wall Street Journal reported, paying $1.5 million for the lot the same year that Ortiz retired. The couple owned multiple homes around the time they sold their former marital home in Miami in 2023, according to the Journal.
