Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes bought a New York apartment and turned it into a playroom for their daughter Suri.

The Hollywood couple have reportedly been purchasing several apartments in the 12-storey building, and thought two-year-old Suri could benefit from a bigger area to keep her toys in.

A source said: "Tom and Katie now keep five units in the building. They turned one into Suri's playroom. One they use for a gym, and two apartments are for staff. In the past couple of months they've bought up all these other apartments. They're all separate and on different floors."

However, while 'Mission: Impossible' star Tom has been attempting to mix with the neighbours, Katie - who is in the city starring in Broadway play 'All My Sons' - has been keeping to herself.

The source added to the New York Post newspaper: "Tom is seen coming in and out all the time, and he's really friendly to everyone he meets. But Katie just kind of keeps her head down. Everyone in the neighbourhood is buzzing about it."

A representative for the couple denied the claims.
