345 West 13th Street

Overview of 345 West 13th Street

345 West 13th Street stands as a distinguished example of industrial-to-residential conversion in one of Manhattan's most coveted neighborhoods. Originally built in 1890 for John Jacob Astor's estate and initially housing the Mines Press printing company, this handsome 6-story brick building was thoughtfully converted to 47 loft condominiums in 1999 by architects Byrns, Kendall and Schieferdecker. The conversion added a seventh floor to create seven penthouse duplexes, all featuring private terraces, while preserving the building's timeless façade with its dramatic metal cornice, detailed panels, and attractive brick pilasters.

The building's loft apartments showcase their industrial heritage with soaring 10-12 foot ceilings, exposed brick walls, original cast iron columns, and heavy timber beams. Many units feature expansive layouts with some unusual configurations, including maisonettes with separate entrances and duplexes with massive recreation rooms. Common features across apartments include wood-burning fireplaces, oversized windows, wide-plank hardwood floors, and high-end finishes. Several units boast particularly impressive spaces, such as 38-foot-long living rooms and 54-foot recreation areas, while penthouses offer substantial private terraces with Manhattan skyline views.

Notable residents have included actors Will Ferrell and Julianne Moore, as well as theater producer Eric Nederlander, reflecting the building's appeal to high-profile New Yorkers. Strategically positioned at the intersection of the West Village and Meatpacking District on Hudson and West 13th Street, the building sits just steps from the High Line, Hudson River Park, and the Whitney Museum, surrounded by some of the city's finest shopping, dining, and cultural attractions.

As a full-service condominium, 345 West 13th Street offers residents a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, and a landscaped common roof garden with views of the Manhattan skyline and Hudson River. Additional amenities include individual storage units, bike storage, and laundry facilities, making it one of the area's most sought-after residential buildings.
