Formerly the New York City Police Headquarters and now a full-service co-op, the building rises six stories high and is comprised of 44 distinct homes. Known for their dramatic ceiling heights, duplexed floor plans and large-scale windows, apartments at The Police Building rarely come up for sale. Surrounded by downtown's most desirable neighborhoods, residents here have easy access to Nolita, Soho, Noho, Tribeca, Little Italy, the LES and Chinatown.


Entering 2N is an experience in Beaux Arts and Edwardian Baroque architecture styles and the original detail seen throughout the home cannot be replicated today. This stunning duplex spans approximately 1,100 square feet, has 16-foot ceilings, nine-foot tall arched windows facing east over Centre Market Place, central a/c, a large master suite and two renovated bathrooms.


Through the front door you are greeted by a grand salon with dramatic, cathedral height ceilings. Live, dine and entertain in an impressive, 24-foot long great room framed by three massive windows overlooking Centre Market Place which is a discreet, one-block lane. Soaring ceilings and amazing natural light define the space along with an open, windowed kitchen equipped with a large breakfast bar. The foyer leads you down a gallery which houses three oversized closets, in-unit washer/dryer and one of two renovated bathrooms. Upstairs is the master suite which is pin drop quiet. The bedroom has a large dressing area with two large closets, a built-in reading bench and a renovated master bathroom with Lefroy Brooks fixtures and a shower/tub combination.


Meaningful upgrades done by the current owner include brand new central a/c and heat, soundproof windows upstairs, a fully enclosed and privatized bedroom and an open kitchen with a Carrara marble breakfast bar.


The Police Building is known for its unprecedented level of white glove service and privacy. The building staff includes 24/7 concierge, a separate doorman on duty, a full time resident manager and porters. Each exclusive home has access to a fitness room, a bucolic resident's garden accessed through large double doors and additional private storage in the building. 240 Centre is a pet friendly co-op which allows pied-à-terre, subletting and 70% max financing.
