Experience quintessential downtown loft living in this extraordinary duplex at the iconic The Police Building, once home to one of the most iconic fashion designers of the 1990s and biggest brands of fashion to this today. With soaring 16-foot ceilings, dramatic stately windows, and beautiful natural light throughout, the home offers an atmosphere that is both grand and inviting. Thoughtfully renovated with exceptional attention to detail, the residence features expansive living and entertaining spaces, an elegant dining area, a refined chef’s kitchen, three private bedroom areas, serene baths, and a sculptural staircase that serves as a true architectural centerpiece.
Originally completed in the early 1900s as New York City’s Police Headquarters, the building famously served as the office of Theodore Roosevelt during his tenure as Police Commissioner before its celebrated residential conversion in 1988. Residents enjoy premier white-glove services including a full-time doorman, concierge, resident manager, fitness center, and private garden, all moments from the best of SoHo, NoLita, and Tribeca dining, shopping, and culture.
