About The Lofts of Greene Street II, 109 Greene Street
This very handsome, 7-story building at 109 Greene Street was completed in 2005 and is a modern interpretation of the historic district’s famous cast-iron structures that uses I-beam and riveted girders in the style of early 20th Century bridge construction.
The building is known as The Lofts at Greene Street II and it is one of the most stunning new buildings in SoHo.
It was developed by Goldman Properties and designed by Cook + Fox.
The façade of the mid-block building is painted in two tones of gray and the very large windows are framed in black and the overall effect is both historic and high-tech, subtle yet dramatic.
It is in stark contrast to some of the street’s other buildings such as 101 and 103, which were also developed by Goldman Properties and are known as The Lofts at Greene Street.
The cast-iron facades of both are painted white and the façade of 103 was copied and applied to 101, whose original façade was burned in a fire in 1950.
This cobblestone street has several famous retailers such as Louis Vuitton and Mont Blanc. The building has a very central location in SoHo and is located between Spring and Prince Streets and it is very close to a former post office on Greene Street between Prince and West Houston Street that is now an Apple store.
Many of the apartments have 13-foot-high ceilings. The building central air-conditioning and a key-locked elevator and it is on a block that has been described as "SoHo’s best."
There is subways nearby.
