Overview of 59 John Street

59 John Lofts is a 74 unit boutique condominium created from a former office building in 2005 by Broadway Management Co. The conversion, designed by architect Karl Fischer with interiors by renowned designer Andres Escobar, added three floors to the original nine story beige brick structure to create setback penthouses with a distinctive roofline. Located at the northwest corner of John and William Streets in the Financial District, the building is also known as 111 William Street. Escobar's signature design touches include bathrooms with blue-green glass walls, soaking tubs, and large stainless steel vessel sinks, along with kitchens featuring expansive black granite counters.

Most apartments feature ceiling heights of 11 to 12 feet, oversized windows, and open chef's kitchens with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Many units include in-unit vented Bosch washer/dryers and French white oak hardwood floors. The penthouses are particularly notable, with many offering private terraces and balconies. One penthouse boasts over 1,400 square feet of private outdoor space, while another features 478 square feet of terrace accessible from multiple rooms. Several units include decorative fireplaces, and the flexible loft style layouts allow for customization, with some buyers opting to modify bedroom configurations.

The building offers full service amenities including a 24 hour doorman and concierge, live-in superintendent, and recently renovated common areas. Residents enjoy access to a furnished rooftop deck with communal grills, a fitness center with Peloton bikes and weight training equipment, a media lounge/library, a children's playroom, and a Zen inspired interior courtyard garden. The building is pet friendly and Fios ready.

The Financial District location provides convenient access to the Fulton Transit Hub and numerous subway lines including the A/C/E, J/Z, 2/3, 4/5/6, R/W, and PATH trains. The neighborhood has transformed into a residential hub with Whole Foods, Eataly, South Street Seaport, Westfield World Trade Center, and Brookfield Place all nearby. The building sits one block north of the Federal Reserve Bank and across from specialty food purveyor Zeytma on Pine Street.
