About 129 Lafayette Street
This stately 11-story commercial building one block north of bustling Canal Street was erected in the early 20th Century as facilities for the printing industry.
In 2004, it was converted into 27 luxury condominium apartments including two penthouses that were added to the structure.
The building has a two-story rusticated limestone base, large windows and an impressive cornice. It is across Lafayette Street from an attractive Holiday Inn.
Apartments, which range in size from 1,200 to 5,200 square feet, have 12-foot-high ceilings, entrance foyers, Marvin wood-frame windows and white oak floors. Many have balconies and most are corner units.
The building has a roof terrace for all its residents and a 15-foot-high, spacious lobby.
The south penthouse has a heated "in-ground" pool on its terrace.
There is good public transporation and excellent local shopping and this location is very convenient to SoHo, NoHo, Little Italy and Chinatown.
