The magnificent Police Building in the heart of Soho, set on coveted extra-wide Centre Street offers exceptional loft residences blending historic integrity with modern style. Residence 4K is a stunning duplex loft that inspires awe with its soaring 16’ ceilings, massive windows bathing interiors in brilliant light, and seamless open concept enriched by refinished wood floors and refined finishes throughout. The gracious entry foyer pours into a dramatic living/entertaining area complete with open dining, a top-of-the-line custom chef’s kitchen, and handsome den (that can be converted to a second bedroom) with custom millwork and built-ins. Wall space galore is perfect for hanging favorite works of art. The spacious main level additionally presents a richly-appointed full bathroom, convenient washer-dryer, and generous closets.

The original headquarters for the NYC Police Department, historic 240 Centre Street is an architectural masterpiece designed at the turn of the last century by Hoppin & Koen. The building was converted into luxury residences in 1988 by Ehrenkranz Group & Eckstut, and remains one of downtown’s most distinguished addresses. The white-glove cooperative retains many of its incredible original details and offers discriminating residents the highest level of privacy as well as upscale amenities like a 24-hour doorman, concierge, live-in superintendent, fitness room and outdoor garden. The prime location at the crossroads of vibrant SoHo, Nolita and Little Italy easily accesses the great shops, eateries and other attractions all around you.

Little Italy | Manhattan

Quick Profile

It’s fitting that the neighborhood’s name is Little Italy because It’s been getting smaller for decades. The Italian immigrants that flooded New York City and built the vibrant ethnic enclave in the 1860s and 1880s eventually left for greener pastures, assimilating into other parts of the city or suburbs. The disappearance of Little Italy is a sad story as far as neighborhoods go, but it’s one that should be told. 

Little Italy once spanned 50 square blocks and represented the biggest population of Italian immigrants in America. But in recent years, it’s been squeezed by the growth of Chinatown and SoHo and muscled from the rebranding of other neighborhoods like NoHo and NoLIta. In fact, NoLita was the culprit that cut the neighborhood in two. Little Italy’s boundaries may vary depending upon who you ask. Today it’s down to just a few blocks along Mulberry Street. 

One of the best ways to experience Little Italy is through its food. Take your pick from mom-and-pop markets, meat and cheese shops, or authentic sit-down restaurants that offer the very best in Italian cuisine. 

Every September (since 1926), the neighborhood hosts the Feast of San Gennaro, which celebrates the patron Saint of Naples Italy. 11 days of food, colorful parades, music performances, and more food. The aroma of zeppole and grilled sausage can be smelt for blocks. Try planning your visit around this festive time. It’s well worth it.
