This colossal 4,600 square foot pre war full floor loft offers a rare opportunity to create a truly spectacular residence or a refined work environment in the heart of Flatiron.
Currently holding a commercial Certificate of Occupancy, this sprawling space comes with the valuable "as-of-right" to convert to residential, providing a unique opportunity to design a home perfectly tailored to your vision.
Residential Luxury:
With an entire private floor and direct keyed elevator access, this loft delivers a level of privacy and flexibility rarely found. The footprint allows for an expansive 4 or 5 bedroom residence with generous living and entertaining spaces and the potential for multiple bathrooms, designed entirely to your specifications. *Any potential conversion must be independently verified by the buyer, and any such work would take place after closing.*
A Designer’s Dream:
Soaring 12 foot ceilings, grand proportions, and 13 oversized windows (with potential for a 14th) create an ideal canvas for a custom loft build. The open, flexible layout lends itself to dramatic architectural moments while still allowing for practical, well separated living spaces.
Commercial Capacity:
Currently configured as a photography studio, the loft demonstrates remarkable versatility. Ideal for a gallery, creative agency, studio, headquarters, or seamless live work conversion for those who need scale and functionality without compromise.
Privacy:
Exclusive, key locked elevator access opens directly into the space, offering true full floor living. An upgraded passenger elevator and dedicated freight elevator support construction, art, furnishings, equipment, and inventory with ease.
Light:
Oversized windows span north and south exposures, filling the loft with natural light throughout the day. There is also potential to explore additional western exposure, further enhancing light and openness.
Building and Location:
Set within a classic, historic loft building with a virtual doorman and full time superintendent, the property is perfectly positioned at the intersection of Union Square, Chelsea, and Greenwich Village. The building allows pets, washer/dryer in unit, Pied a terres, live/work, flexible purchasing scenarios. Surrounded by dining, culture, and retail, and served by numerous subway lines and the PATH, this location offers unmatched connectivity.
Opportunities of this size, approval status, and flexibility are exceptionally rare. This is your chance to create a statement residence or visionary work environment with endless possibilities and enduring value.
