An extraordinary opportunity awaits in the heart of Union Square— the full floor Penthouse of a landmarked building, featuring a sprawling 4,300 (SF) loft and your own double 1,386 (SF) private outdoor roof decks. Currently half the floor operates as a home and the other half operates as a daycare center.This full floor Penthouse is a blank canvas offering immense potential to create a truly bespoke New York City residence, limited only by your imagination.
With 23 oversized windows and 8 skylights, this rare Penthouse flourishes with natural light flooding the entire space throughout the day, while soaring ceilings enhance the sense of openness and scale.
