Prior to the mid-20th century, many districts in lower Manhattan, Soho and Tribeca among them, were teeming with commercial and industrial tenants whose buildings were designed to support their machinery and workers. When the businesses closed or moved elsewhere, the neighborhoods went downhill and the lofts were left empty, cold, and devoid of running water in some cases. These factors made it affordable for artists to live and work in lofts, which in turn brought new respect for neighborhoods like Soho Tribeca, and Chelsea.
In recent years, the typical loft's open plan, oversized windows, and high ceilings supported by thick columns are seen as assets by developers converting the commercial spaces to residential. This week's new condo listings show just how far the loft has come - these homes in some of the city's hottest neighborhoods come with top-of-the-line fixtures and super-luxe amenities.
