16 Desbrosses Street is a post-war condominium building in Tribeca, Manhattan, completed in 1940. The 6-story building contains 8 units and offers washer/dryer facilities. Currently, 1 apartment is for sale.
A former textile warehouse at 16 Desbrosses Street was converted into a condominium in 2001, retaining the industrial scale of its 1940 construction. The six story post war building has eight residences on a cobblestone street in the Tribeca North Historic District, with Architecture Research Office associated with its conversion and residential design.
The apartments are characterized by loft proportions, exposed timber and steel elements, broad windows, and ceiling heights that reach the low twenties in several residences. Duplexes use mezzanine levels to separate living and sleeping areas, while open layouts and large entertaining spaces recur across the homes. The penthouse is the building’s most distinctive configuration, with a double height main level and two terraces oriented toward One World Trade Center, the Hudson River, and the New Jersey skyline.
Building services include central air conditioning, laundry facilities, a virtual doorman system, a superintendent, and a planted rooftop terrace. Washer dryers and central air also appear in multiple residences, while private storage rooms are associated with several homes. Pets are permitted. Former resident Lena Dunham, known for “Tiny Furniture” and “Girls,” has been associated with the building.
16 Desbrosses Street sits at the border of Tribeca and SoHo, close to Hudson River Park and the galleries, restaurants, studios, and shops of both neighborhoods. The building’s setting combines the quiet of a cobblestone block with access to the broader downtown Manhattan streetscape.
