312 E 23Rd St

Built in 1901 and rising ten stories, this prewar loft conversion occupies a small, intimate footprint of 16 residences that emphasize generous ceiling heights and open-plan layouts. Converted from a factory, the building preserves industrial character through exposed brick, oversized windows, original columns, and barrel-vaulted ceilings that reach roughly 10–12 feet in many units. Homes are primarily two-bedroom configurations with features like entrance foyers, separate dining areas, dens, built-in storage, pantries, recessed lighting, and updated kitchens and baths in many units. Common building touches reflect a lived-in, service-oriented fabric: a resident superintendent, video intercom entry, bike room, common laundry, and secure storage. Outdoor amenity space is concentrated on a planted, furnished roof deck with grilling and panorama views; a building barbecue is also noted. The property operates as a condop with flexible occupancy rules—allowing co-purchases, pieds-à-terre, gifting, live/work use, guarantors and liberal subletting after one year—and permits in-unit washer/dryers. Pets are allowed and management communicates policies such as a 2% flip tax and financing guidelines (typically up to 80%). Located in Gramercy/Flatiron-adjacent New York, the building sits within a walkable neighborhood with nearby pharmacies, supermarkets, and transit, offering loft-style residences that blend historic details with contemporary upgrades.
