The American Thread Building at 260 West Broadway stands as one of TriBeCa's most distinguished residential conversions, with a fascinating history that spans over a century. Originally constructed in 1894-1896 as the Wool Exchange Building by architect William B. Tubby in Renaissance Revival style, the 11-story structure was designed to help New York overtake Boston as the nation's wool trade center. When that venture failed, the American Thread Company occupied the building from 1901 to 1964, giving the building its enduring name. The building gained additional cultural significance when a Keith Haring mural was discovered in 2007 during renovations—painted by the then 20-year-old artist in 1979 when the space served as an exhibition area.
Converted to 52 condominium apartments by Rose Associates in 1980, the building was among the first luxury loft conversions in TriBeCa and has since housed notable residents including models Gisele Bundchen and Naomi Campbell, and actress Isabella Rossellini. The building's distinctive curved façade overlooks TriBeCa Park, and its placement on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005 underscores its architectural importance. The structure features imposing limestone banding on the first two floors, arched ground-floor windows, and a grand staircase entrance with two-story columns, though it has lost its original cornice over time.
The building's 52 residences showcase the grandeur typical of pre-war loft conversions, with many units featuring soaring ceilings up to 26 feet, oversized arched windows, and original architectural details like cast-iron columns. The apartments range from traditional two-bedrooms to spectacular multi-level penthouses and a remarkable 8,000-square-foot triplex maisonette that includes the Keith Haring mural. Common features throughout units include hardwood floors, working fireplaces, central air conditioning, and chef's kitchens equipped with high-end appliances from brands like Sub-Zero, Miele, and Liebherr. Many apartments are configured as duplexes, taking advantage of the building's generous ceiling heights and loft-like proportions.
Residents enjoy full-service building amenities including a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, rooftop gym, landscaped roof deck with city views, bicycle storage, and basement storage units. The building's prime location at the northern edge of TriBeCa, adjacent to SoHo and near multiple subway lines, provides easy access to the neighborhood's renowned dining and shopping scene. While the building lacks a garage and sidewalk landscaping, its historic character, spacious apartments, and prestigious address continue to make it one of downtown Manhattan's most coveted residential buildings.
