Step into Residence 2112, a rare high-floor historic loft offering an exceptional blend of scale, light, service, and cultural legacy in the heart of the Financial District. Spanning approximately 1,809 square feet, this striking home defines classic downtown loft living with soaring 11-foot beamed ceilings and nearly 50 feet of uninterrupted living and dining space-an extraordinary volume seldom found in Manhattan.
Situated on the 21st floor, three oversized west-facing windows frame open views over Broad Street, the New York Stock Exchange, and glimpses of One World Trade Center's soaring spire. The expansive great room-over 20 feet wide-offers outstanding flexibility for entertaining and daily living, with the potential to create additional sleeping areas while maintaining grand-scale proportions.
The open Philippe Starck-designed chef's kitchen features sleek custom cabinetry, white quartz countertops, and top-tier Bosch appliances, with ample storage and the option to add a substantial center island. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the living space.
The king-sized primary suite enjoys an oversized window with NYSE views, generous proportions, abundant closet space, and a spa-like marble bathroom with double vanity, deep soaking tub, and separate glass-enclosed shower. A spacious secondary room-ideal as a bedroom, home office, or private study-offers its own entrance and adjacent full bath. Both bathrooms were also designed by Philippe Starck.
Residence 2112 is located within Downtown by Philippe Starck at 15 Broad Street, a full-service luxury condominium offering white-glove service and one of the city's most comprehensive amenity collections, including a 24-hour doorman and concierge, housekeeping and dry-cleaning services, lap pool and hot tub, state-of-the-art fitness center with locker rooms and saunas, yoga and dance studios, basketball and squash courts, bowling alley, screening room, business center, sports lounge, children's playroom, and an exceptional 5,000-square-foot landscaped roof park with reflecting pool, lounge seating, fireplace, and sweeping city views.
Beyond its architecture, the residence carries a rare artistic provenance. For more than two decades, the loft served as the creative studio and home of pioneering Italian-American artist Bettina Werner-known worldwide as "The Salt Queen"-who invented the first use of colorized salt as an artistic medium. Her internationally exhibited works imbue the space with a distinct creative energy. In many cultures, salt symbolizes blessings, prosperity, and fertility.
In conjunction with an ongoing exhibition at The Bettina Werner Museum in Italy throughout 2026, celebrating "60th Birthday: 35 Years in Manhattan and 25 in Italy," select showings may include a curated presentation of the artist's works. Select pieces may be available for acquisition in conjunction with the apartment; artwork is not included in the asking price.
Ideally positioned amid history, luxury retail, and world-class dining, the building is moments from Hermès, Tiffany & Co., Brookfield Place, celebrated restaurants, nearly every major subway line, the PATH, and the NYC Ferry.
Please note some photos are virtually staged. There is a current assessment for $539.43 to be completed in December 2026 (elevator modernization, LL11, and park landscaping restoration).
Quick Profile
The Financial District (FiDi) today is a bit of a hybrid neighborhood, as the residential component continues to grow in an area that has been historically dominated by the financial and insurance industries. The residential experiment, which began more than two decades ago, continues to evolve in an area with a large concentration of older, large office buildings. Developers have taken to these aged buildings and have re-positioned them as residential properties. In turn, the public spaces, services and retail establishments needed for a thriving residential neighborhood have followed making this an important destination for city residents.
Since 2000, the residential population of the Financial District has nearly tripled in size from about 23,000 residents to more than 60,000 inhabitants. Many of the residential pioneers to FiDi were people attracted to the lower rents in the neighborhood, particularly the post-collegiate crowd. While the millennials still maintain a large footprint here, there are plenty of families that now consider the Wall Street area home.
Many of those that live in the Financial District walk to work. If you reside here and need to commute elsewhere, the transportation from here is about as good as it gets. Express trains can take you to Midtown, either east or west, in twenty minutes. Brooklyn is but a single subway stop away. There are also ferries across to Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.
