Your renovation, your home. PLEASE NOTE: ALL PHOTOGRAPHS ARE AI-GENERATED RENDERINGS showing what this residence can look like after a cosmetic renovation. The apartment is offered in its original, unrenovated condition. Current-condition photographs are available on request. Residence 2D is the rare downtown loft that has never been touched. Cast-iron columns, exposed beams, original hardwood floors, and south light across Lafayette Street — 1,500 square feet of true pre-war industrial volume in one of the most tightly held loft conversions in SoHo. Livable today. No structural work required. What it needs is kitchen, bath and finishes — and every one of those choices is yours. The opportunity is the price. Renovated homes at 285 Lafayette trade well above this level; the last closed sale was $2,472 per square foot. 2D is priced for its condition, not its address. Instead of paying a premium for someone else's renovation, buy the bones, do the work your way, and hold the building's value on the other side. It is also the only residence in the building under 2,000 square feet — the entry point to an address that rarely trades. Bring your contractor to the showing. Buyers will be introduced to Manhattan renovation firms with experience in this building and comparable SoHo and Nolita conversions, so the work can be scoped and priced before contract. Ask for the price history; there is a clear story behind it.

They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Sales data through June 2026. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
