140 Nassau St

A landmarked 15-story cooperative erected in 1879, the Morse Building is a converted loft residence that preserves late 19th-century masonry character while offering contemporary loft living. The red-and-black brick façade is articulated with Romanesque arches and large arched windows; the building’s exterior reads as a vertical example of Victorian and early Edwardian decorative masonry. Interiors emphasize expansive, flexible loft layouts: typical units feature 10–13+ foot ceilings, oversized double-paned arched windows, exposed brick walls, solid hardwood floors, deep marble window sills, and generous wall space for art. Unit footprints range mainly as two-bedroom-capable lofts with den/office options, sleeping lofts and multiple flexible alcoves; many plans include pantry or eat-in kitchen zones and entry foyers with ample closets. Common areas retain historic details in a renovated lobby with mosaic-tile murals, keyed elevators with video intercom, a full-time superintendent, laundry room and individual storage lockers. Outdoor amenities include a landscaped common roof deck with panoramic downtown views and occasional private terraces on upper units. Practical building services include wired-for-FIOS infrastructure, basement storage, and on-site maintenance; the co-op permits pets, pied-a-terre ownership, and board-approved in-unit washers/dryers and subletting options in many cases. Parking is street/garage nearby rather than onsite. Sited at the nexus of FiDi, City Hall Park, Tribeca and the Seaport, the building puts residents three blocks from Fulton Center’s subway hub and within walking distance of Brookfield Place, Westfield World Trade Center and a dense array of dining and grocery options. The location supports a downtown urban lifestyle centered on walking, cultural sightseeing, and strong transit access.
