Finishing touches are being applied to the lobby at The Lofts at Greene Street II, one of the most stunning new buildings in SoHo.
Developed by Goldman Properties and designed by Cook + Fox, the seven-story building, whose address is 109 Greene Street, is a modern interpretation of the historic district's famous cast-iron structures that uses I-beam and riveted girders in the style of early 20th Century bridge construction.
The facade of the mid-block building is painted in two tones of gray and the very large windows are framed in black and the overall effect is both historic and high-tech, subtle yet dramatic. It is in stark contrast to some of the street's other buildings such as 101 and 103, which were also developed by Goldman Properties and are known as The Lofts at Greene Street. The cast-iron facades of both are painted white and the facade of 103 was copied and applied to 101, whose original facade was burned in a fire in 1950.
This cobblestone street has several famous retailers such as Louis Vuitton and Mont Blanc. The building has a very central location in SoHo and is located between Spring and Prince Streets and it is very close to a post office on Greene Street between Prince and West Houston Street.
The building opened about four months ago and recently sold out. Its last available apartment, which contained about 2,352 square feet on the fourth floor, was recently listed for about $3,150,000.
