Overview of 451 Washington Street

The Fleming Smith Warehouse at 451 Washington Street is a six story Tribeca building constructed in 1891 as a commercial warehouse and converted to six co-op lofts in 1979. Designed by Stephen Decatur Hatch, it is also known as 135 Watts Street and is recognized as both an individual New York City landmark and a National Register property. Hatch later designed the Princeton Club and the original New York Life Insurance Company Building.

Its neo Flemish façade combines yellow brick with a rusticated stone base, Romanesque arches, grouped windows, red window surrounds, copper lined stepped gables, dormers, weather vanes, and ornamental tie backs. Copper numerals marking 1891 and Fleming Smith’s monogram remain visible on the western gable. The building occupies the corner of Washington and Watts Streets in the Tribeca Historic Landmark District, one block south of Canal Street and about one block from the Hudson River.

The residential program consists of half floor and full floor lofts, with layouts that range from approximately 2,100 to 4,200 square feet. Apartments commonly have ceiling heights of roughly 11 and a half to 12 and a half feet, large windows on north or west exposures, and open plans that retain elements such as pine floors, exposed brick, columns, beams, and clerestory windows. Some full floor layouts have separate street and building access, while the co-op’s small scale gives the residences an unusual degree of privacy and spatial flexibility.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
