80 John St

The South Star at 80 John Street is a prewar, Art Deco condominium originally completed in 1926–1927 and reconfigured as a full-service residential tower. Rising 24 stories, the building contains a mix of loft-style one- and three-bedroom residences (representative layouts emphasize two- and three-bedroom loft units) with generous ceiling heights typically around 10–11 feet and large oversized windows that create bright corner exposures. Units commonly feature wide-plank Brazilian cherry wood floors, open chef’s kitchens with high-end stainless appliances (Sub-Zero, Bosch and similar), granite or marble countertops, and en-suite baths; many layouts include separate dining areas, foyers, dens, abundant built-in storage and in some cases private terraces or small private outdoor spaces. Common-area programming reflects full-service living: a 24-hour doorman/attended lobby, live-in superintendent, concierge/porter, on-site fitness center, laundry rooms on many floors, an attended parking garage with valet and direct elevator access, and for-fee services such as dry cleaning. The building underwent an extensive renovation and condominium conversion in the 2000s that introduced modern mechanicals, contemporary finishes, and improved services while retaining Art Deco character in the restored lobby and façade. Located in Lower Manhattan’s Financial District and steps from Fulton Street and the South Street Seaport, the property sits within immediate walking distance of multiple subway lines, waterfront parks, shopping and restaurants, making it convenient for commuters and those seeking an active urban lifestyle. Pets are allowed; pied-à-terre and investor ownership are accommodated.
