Carter's Review

This very handsome building at 260 Bowery in the Special Little Italy Historic District was erected in 2019 by Premiere Equities and was designed by Morris Adjmi who also designed the adjoining building at 250 Bowery about a decade before.  There are only 5 condominium apartments, the lower four of which are floor-through, three-bedroom units.  The penthouse is a duplex five-bedroom unit with its own roof deck. 

This 8-story building, which is between Houston and Stanton streets, has a light brick façade in contrast with the dark façade at 250 Bowery. 

The lower two floors of this building are devoted to retail and much of the façade there is a double-height space. 

The closest subways include the B, D, and F at Broadway—Lafayette; the J and Z at Bowery; the R and W at Prince Street; and the 4 and 6 trains at Spring Street.

Bottom Line

This light-colored, mid-rise building and the adjoining dark one, both designed by Morris Adjmi, add a lot of welcome and sedate modernity to this once dreary boulevard.
