16 Jay Street is a six story, six unit boutique condominium in Tribeca, originally built in 1920 and converted to condos in 1999. Located on a quiet, one block long cobblestone street between Hudson and Greenwich Streets, the building offers an intimate residential experience with a key-locked elevator and private basement storage for each unit. The building's prewar character is preserved throughout, with exposed brick walls, cast iron columns, and timber beamed ceilings common to most residences.
Units range from approximately 3,744 to 4,300 square feet, with configurations including full floor lofts, duplexes, and a triplex penthouse. Common features across apartments include floor-to-ceiling windows, high ceilings ranging from 10.5 to 24 feet, chef's kitchens equipped with Sub-Zero refrigerators and Viking ranges, in-unit washers and dryers, and multi-zoned central air conditioning. Most units feature three to four bedrooms, with spa like master bathrooms, custom built storage, and access to private outdoor space.
The building's most distinctive residence is a triplex penthouse designed by renowned interior designer Kelly Wearstler, spanning 4,200 square feet across three stories with 1,200 square feet of terrace space and views of the Freedom Tower. The unit features cerused and ebonized walnut floors, a wood burning fireplace, a skylit staircase, and book matched marble in the bathrooms. Another notable duplex underwent a renovation exceeding $2,000,000 over 18 months, featuring a custom welded cast iron and mahogany elliptical staircase, an oxidized copper screen, and hand embroidered wall coverings with Japanese style sliding doors.
Outdoor spaces are a significant feature, with several units offering substantial terraces and patios. One duplex includes a 940 square foot patio with heated limestone flooring and a 25 foot tall outdoor sculpture framed by concrete columns with backlit plexiglass panels. The penthouse offers two private landscaped terraces with a wet bar, while other units feature bamboo planting terraces accessible from bedrooms.
The building's location provides access to Tribeca's restaurants, parks, and schools, with proximity to Hudson River Park, Whole Foods, and Target. The cobblestone street setting offers a quiet residential environment while maintaining convenient access to downtown Manhattan transportation and amenities.
