Overview of 56 Crosby Street

56 Crosby Street is a six-story brick loft building completed in 1900 and converted to a luxury condominium in 2000. The building features nine apartments that showcase historic details such as exposed brick, Corinthian-style columns, arched entryways, and oversized windows. With a doorman and concierge service, it is ideally located between Broome and Spring Streets, providing residents with easy access to the vibrant shopping, dining, and nightlife of Soho and Nolita.

The apartments range in size, with two units per floor measuring either 2,935 or 3,200 square feet, and two expansive penthouses of 4,000 square feet. Ceiling heights vary from 12 feet 4 inches to 16 feet, and initial prices ranged from $1.65 million to $3.2 million. The building's design includes a small lobby and a well-maintained elevator, contributing to its boutique feel.

Notably, Unit 3A has been a hub of creativity, belonging to the founders of "The Apartment," the USA's first concept design store. This unit was also featured in the film The Devil Wears Prada, showcasing its unique architectural features, including a 120-foot long wall of brick arches. The lofts are designed with custom finishes, including a Boffi kitchen and bespoke cabinetry, enhancing their appeal for discerning buyers.

56 Crosby Street has attracted notable residents and has become a symbol of luxury living in Manhattan, with its discreet exterior and lavish interiors. The building's location on a cobblestone street offers a serene escape from the bustling city while still being close to the best that downtown has to offer.
