Overview of The Solita at 161 Grand Street

The Solita is a former light industrial loft building at 161 Grand Street, built in 1911 and converted into an 18 residence condominium in 2001. It occupies the corner of Grand and Centre Streets where NoLiTa, Little Italy and SoHo meet, with its residential entrance at 221 Centre Street.

Residences span roughly 1,800 to more than 3,600 square feet, encompassing half floor and full floor loft arrangements with 11 to 11.5 foot beamed ceilings, oversized windows and broad open living areas. Many have fireplaces, and several upper floor homes open to private terraces or balconies. A duplex penthouse is entered from roof level and rises to a mezzanine beneath ceilings over 20 feet high.

The building has an attended lobby, video intercom, live-in superintendent, bike room and private basement storage. Its landscaped roof terrace has skyline views above Grand Street, and the condominium is pet friendly.

The Beaux Arts former Police Headquarters building is next door and appears in north and east views from many residences. The Solita has been home to filmmaker Sofia Coppola and musician Thomas Mars. The 6 train stops at Spring Street, the N, Q, R and W at Prince Street, the B and D at Grand Street, and the J and Z at Bowery.
