Overview of The Machinery Exchange at 136 Baxter Street

The Machinery Exchange, located at 136 Baxter Street, was originally built in 1915 as a horse stable for the nearby Beaux-Arts Police Headquarters. The building underwent a significant transformation in 2007, converting it into a boutique condominium with just 14 units. This seven-story structure is situated at the intersection of SoHo, Nolita, and Chinatown, providing residents with easy access to vibrant dining and cultural experiences.

Architects Ohlhausen Dubois preserved the building's historical character while incorporating modern amenities. Residences feature high ceilings—ranging from 10.5 to 14 feet—exposed brick walls, and original timber beams. Kitchens are equipped with high-end finishes, including Valcucine cabinetry, Miele appliances, and Sub-Zero refrigerators, ensuring a blend of historic charm and contemporary convenience.

Notable units include spacious lofts with flexible layouts, ideal for both living and working. The building offers amenities such as a virtual doorman, a full-time resident manager, and deeded storage units. Among its notable residents is actor Norman Reedus, adding to the building's appeal as a sought-after residence in downtown Manhattan.

With its unique architectural history and prime location, the Machinery Exchange stands out as a distinctive option for those seeking a blend of character and modern living in one of New York City's most dynamic neighborhoods.
