Overview of 129 Lafayette Street

129 Lafayette Street is an 11 story pre-war condominium originally built in 1911 as a printing facility and designed by Frank H. Quimby. Converted in 2004, the building contains 27 residences, including two penthouses added to the original structure. Its exterior has a two story rusticated limestone base, broad window openings, three stringcourses, and a substantial cornice.

Apartments range from about 1,200 to 5,200 square feet and retain a loft character, with ceilings generally around 12 feet, oversized wood frame windows, open living spaces, and central air conditioning. Many are corner residences, and balconies recur in several layouts. Penthouse A spans the top two floors, placing its main living level and wraparound terrace above the bedroom floor.

The building has an attended lobby with 15 foot ceilings, resident storage, and a landscaped roof terrace of roughly 2,000 square feet with open city views. Pets are permitted.

129 Lafayette occupies the southeast corner of Lafayette and Howard Streets in NoLiTa and Little Italy, one block north of Canal Street and at the meeting point of SoHo and Chinatown. Rihanna has lived at the building.
