129 Lafayette St

Constructed in 1911 and reimagined for residential use in 2004, this limestone-clad, 11-story former printing house houses a boutique collection of loft-style three-bedroom condominiums. Architecturally it retains prewar character—exposed ceiling beams, oversized industrial-style wood-frame windows, and lofty 12–14-foot ceiling heights—paired with contemporary finishes installed during conversion. Individual units emphasize open-plan loft living with expansive great rooms, separate dining area or formal dining rooms, generous foyers, hardwood floors, chef-caliber kitchens by Valcucine with high-end appliances (Viking, Sub-Zero, Thermador, Bosch), and modern conveniences like in-unit laundry and central HVAC. Primary suites typically include large walk-in closets and spa-like baths with soaking tubs and separate showers; many residences include private outdoor spaces ranging from compact balconies to sizable terraces and access to private storage. Common areas are understated but full-service: a grand attended lobby with 24-hour doorman/concierge, a landscaped roughly 2,000-square-foot roof deck with city and skyline views, on-site porter/management, and secure storage. The building allows pets and provides easy access to multiple subway lines and the retail, dining, and cultural destinations at the confluence of SoHo, Nolita, Tribeca, Chinatown and the Bowery, supporting a downtown urban lifestyle that blends historic loft character with modern condominium services.
