The handsome 1905 building at 71 Nassau Street at the northwest corner at John Street is being converted to condominium apartments.
The 16-story, white-brick structure, known as the Croft Building, will have 52 units and occupancy is expected in the first quarter of 2006. The building, which is one block east of Broadway and five blocks north of Wall Street, will have a 24-hour concierge, a fitness room and a rooftop terrace.
Shamir Shah is designing the lobby, which will have bamboo resin panels and exotic stones. The apartments will have 10- to 13-foot-high ceilings, double-pane windows, and Sub-Zero and Bosch appliances. The building has a two-story rusticated limestone base and top, five stringcourses and a cornice with center decorative elements.
It has a central Financial District location with convenient public transportation and the neighborhood has many handsome pre-war buildings that have been converted as well as a great detail of retail activity. It is between John and Fulton Streets.
