150 Wooster Street, #Loft2
In this article:
150 Wooster Street was a rare opportunity for KUB Capital to build a ground-up residential development in SoHo's landmark district – and it was not squandered. Inside the masonry and steel facade lies loft 2, a 1,907-square-foot private landscaped garden with an outdoor kitchen, four bedrooms, and four bathrooms. The home has all the modern conveniences, including a smart home automation system and Lutron motorized shades, but also blends new and old with a sculptural gas fireplace that elegantly separates the living area and the dining room.

5 beds, 4.5 baths – $11,900,000 Million
