26 Beaver St

26 Beaver Street is a 19-story, early-20th-century cooperative converted from the Norton Lilly Shipping Company and completed in 1919. The prewar structure retains industrial and decorative details—exposed beams, original tin ceilings in some units, cast-iron accents and large, multi-directional windows—while offering modernized systems such as keyed elevators, a video intercom and updated roof and facade work. Residences are full-floor lofts and duplexes, often oversized (2,200–4,500+ sq ft in representative listings) with ceiling heights from roughly 9' to 18', open-plan great rooms and flexible layouts that can accommodate multiple bedrooms, home offices or live/work configurations. Interior amenity patterns across units include eat-in and windowed kitchens, pantry and storage rooms, dens, entrance foyers, abundant closets and private on-floor or basement storage cages; several apartments feature washer/dryer hookups or dedicated laundry rooms and allow central air conditioning with coop approval. Exterior features include Juliet balconies or small terraces where accessible, bike hooks and building storage in the basement. Building services are weekday superintendent coverage, package handling, and a virtual doorman system; the co-op allows pets, pied-à-terre ownership, subletting and up to 80% financing. Located in Manhattan’s Financial District, the building sits within walking distance of transit hubs, waterfront ferries, Brookfield Place, Stone Street dining and the South Street Seaport, offering a historic downtown lifestyle with substantial live/work flexibility.
