45 Great Jones Street: Review and Ratings

Review of 45 Great Jones Street by Carter Horsley

This handsome, 7-story, brick and metal building at 45 Great Jones Street in NoHo was erected in 2015 by Joseph and Anthony Lauto and Donald Capoccia.

The Lautos met Mr. Capoccia in 1999 and partnered with him to convert 48 Bond Street, one block to the south of this site.

This building has 5 condominium apartments and was designed by Richard Metsky of Beyer Blinder Belle.

Bottom Line

An attractive enlargement of an 1893 building erected for Wagner & Sandford, manufacturers of billiard tables, in the heart of NoHo offers full-floor apartments with finishings fine enough for art collectors.

Description

The building has a bold façade with a dark metal base and wide but thin dark metal cornice element flanked by orange brick piers framing dark metal window frames and spandrels.

There are two bandcourses of orange brick between dark metal elements above the second and third floors and the latter is larger than the former.

The second and third floors of the orange brick piers are rusticated, a reference to the Romanesque-style design of the original building on the site.

The building has ground-floor retail space.

Amenities

The building has direct entry elevators, storage units, bicycle storage and a 24-hour virtual doorman.

Apartments

Apartments are two-bedroom units with ceiling heights ranging from 10 to 11-and-a-half feet with custom-designed LED lighting in recessed coves, 9-inch-wide white oak wood floors, Calacatta gold marble in kitchens and bathrooms, Miele kitchen appliances, high-gloss kitchen cabinetry, Lefroy Books bath fixtures, defogging bathroom mirrors, radiant bathroom floor heating, in-unit Miele washers and dryers, and balconies.

History

In 1914, Rosenzweig & Elson leased the building for a lumber business and in 1934 changed its name to the Great Jones Lumber Corp.  In 2008, it merged with Michbi Doors Inc.
