Astor Place at 445 Lafayette Street is one of Downtown Manhattan's most architecturally celebrated buildings.
Designed by the acclaimed firm Gwathmey Siegel & Associates and completed in 2008, the 22-story condop is immediately recognizable for its fluid, curvilinear façade of glass and precast concrete — a sculptural presence that holds its own against the iconic cube installation at its base. With just 39 residences, the building offers an intimacy rarely found at this level of design, with homes featuring soaring ceilings, expansive curved windows, and open-plan layouts that capture light and city views in equal measure.
Positioned at the convergence of NoHo, the East Village, and Greenwich Village, residents enjoy effortless access to some of the city's finest dining, culture, and green space — with Cooper Union, Lafayette Street's restaurant row, and Washington Square Park all within easy reach. Amenities include a full-time doorman, concierge, fitness center, residents' lounge, and private storage. For those who value architecture as much as address, Astor Place stands in a category of its own.
