Overview of 55 Hudson Street

55 Hudson Street stands as a distinguished example of Romanesque Revival architecture in the heart of Tribeca, designed by Edward Hale Kendall in 1890 and originally constructed to house American Express stables and offices. This landmarked red brick building features impressive architectural details including a terracotta cornice with arcaded brick parapet, bandcourses above multiple floors, and distinctive arched windows on the sixth and top floors. The building's rusticated lower floors and cast iron lintels reflect its industrial heritage, while two separate lobby entrances provide convenient access to residents.

Converted to a 60 unit co-op in 1983, the building's loft apartments showcase authentic industrial charm with barrel vaulted ceilings ranging from 10 to 16 feet, exposed brick walls, cast iron columns, and restored hardwood floors. Many units feature expansive layouts with walls of oversized arched windows that flood spaces with natural light, while high end chef's kitchens with islands, in-unit washers and dryers, and flexible floor plans accommodate modern living. Several apartments offer unique features like private roof terraces, spiral staircases leading to lofted areas, and the ability to easily configure additional bedrooms within the generous square footage.

Residents enjoy a 6,000 square foot landscaped common roof deck with sweeping downtown views, along with practical amenities including a live-in superintendent, bike room, and both basement and individual floor storage. The building's prime corner location at Hudson and Jay Streets provides exceptional access to Tribeca's renowned dining scene, Washington Market Park, Hudson River Park, and multiple subway lines including the A/C/E, 1/2/3, R/W, and PATH trains.

The co-op maintains flexible policies allowing co-purchasing, guarantors, gifting, subletting, and pied-à-terre ownership, all subject to board approval. Pet friendly policies and the building's boutique scale create a sense of community while preserving the authentic loft living experience that defines this historic Tribeca address.

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.
