26 Beaver St

A boutique, prewar cooperative in Lower Manhattan, this 19-story building dates to 1919 and was converted to residential use in the late 20th century. The property contains just ten expansive full‑ and multi‑floor loft units, many occupying an entire floor, with configurations that range from large one‑bedroom live/work spaces to five‑bedroom duplexes. Architecturally the building keeps industrial prewar character: exposed concrete or tin ceilings, original hardwood floors, cast‑iron details and oversized multi‑pane windows that provide cross‑exposure light. Interiors commonly feature private keyed elevator landings, generous storage rooms, eat‑in chef’s kitchens, walk‑in closets, pantry space, entrance foyers and in‑unit laundry options. Exterior elements include private balconies or Juliet terraces for select apartments and building storage in the basement. Building systems emphasize boutique service: two keyed elevators with video intercom access, a weekday on‑site superintendent, package handling by request and a virtual doorman system. The cooperative permits 80% financing, pied‑à‑terre ownership, subletting and pets, and includes community conveniences such as bicycle hooks, individual caged storage and a sizable operating reserve with recent capital work (roof and façade improvements). Heating is typically steam/radiator with approvals available for central or multi‑zone air conditioning. Located on historic Beaver Street in the Financial District, the building sits steps from the World Trade Center, Brookfield Place, Stone Street, South Street Seaport, ferries and major subway hubs. The neighborhood mixes corporate, cultural and dining destinations, offering a live/work lifestyle tailored to owners who value large, customizable loft layouts within a low‑density, well‑managed cooperative steeped in downtown history.
