The Cobblestone Lofts is a historic Tribeca building, originally built in 1899 and converted to a 31-unit condominium in 2000. Located at 28 Laight Street, it offers amenities like a doorman, gym, and roof deck, and provides easy access to Soho and Tribeca's best attractions. Currently, 1 apartment is for sale.
The Cobblestone Lofts at 28 Laight Street comprises four red brick warehouses originally built in 1891 and converted in 2001 by architect Chris Smith of CMS Design into 32 residential lofts across seven stories. The site was formerly owned by Trinity Episcopal Church. The building gained attention in the early 2000s when Joanne Corzine, former wife of Senator Jon Corzine, purchased a four bedroom penthouse for $3.7 million, invested over $1 million in renovations, and listed it for $6.9 million in 2003. She also paid $51,000 for a permanent parking space, reflecting the premium placed on this amenity in the neighborhood.
Apartments showcase classic loft characteristics including wood beamed ceilings ranging from 11 to 12.5 feet, exposed brick walls, and oversized casement windows. Many units feature wood burning fireplaces and expansive great rooms measuring 30 to 40 feet in length. Kitchens are typically outfitted with high end appliances from Sub-Zero, Wolf, Viking, Miele, Bosch, and Thermador, often with marble countertops and custom cabinetry. Several units include private stone gardens ranging from 400 to 550 square feet, and at least one duplex configuration exists with features like a 1,000 bottle wine cellar and 12 foot ceilings.
Most apartments include in-unit washer/dryers and generous storage throughout. Larger units feature multiple walk in closets, powder rooms for guests, and spa like master bathrooms with soaking tubs, steam showers, and double vanities. Some units offer convertible layouts that can accommodate three to four bedrooms, and at least one unit features a private entry from the cobblestone street with a former loading dock entrance. Several listings note exceptionally low monthly carrying costs, with common charges and taxes under $3,000 per month.
The full service building offers a 24 hour doorman, live-in superintendent, fitness center, library, and a landscaped rooftop deck with panoramic views of lower Manhattan including the Freedom Tower and Hudson River. A private garage with parking available for purchase is a notable amenity in this area. The building underwent lobby renovations and fitness center updates, maintaining its boutique character with only 32 residences.
Located on a quiet cobblestone street at the northern edge of TriBeCa near the Holland Tunnel, the building sits conveniently between TriBeCa and SoHo with access to the 1, A, C, and E trains. The location provides proximity to Hudson River Park, Hudson Square, fine dining, boutique shopping, and is zoned for PS 234. The street itself is low traffic, adding to the residential character of this warehouse conversion.
