Spanning approximately 4, 100 square feet, the entire seventh floor at 6 West 20th Street presents a rare opportunity to acquire an expansive, authentic live/work loft at an exceptional value. Dramatic 12.5-foot ceilings, generous proportions, and an abundance of original architectural detail establish an extraordinary foundation. Original beamed ceilings, exposed brick, and oversized steel-casement windows lend the space an unmistakable industrial character, while open northern and southern exposures invite beautiful natural light in throughout the day. The result is a light-filled, authentic loft with a remarkable sense of scale and architectural integrity—qualities increasingly difficult to find in Manhattan. Situated within the Ladies’ Mile Historic District, the distinguished building offers a connection to a storied chapter of New York’s architectural and commercial history, when the surrounding streets formed one of Manhattan’s most celebrated retail corridors. Today, the neighborhood seamlessly blends its historic character with a vibrant contemporary energy, defined by acclaimed restaurants, independent boutiques, destination shopping, and cultural attractions. Moments from Fifth Avenue’s premier shopping, Madison Square Park, and the celebrated dining destinations of Flatiron and NoMad, the property is also ideally positioned near the Union Square Greenmarket, where some of the city’s finest local farmers and purveyors gather throughout the week. A short distance away, West Chelsea’s renowned gallery district offers access to some of the world’s leading contemporary art galleries, making this an especially compelling location for collectors, artists, and those drawn to New York’s creative pulse. The result is an exceptional downtown setting that combines architectural heritage, cultural sophistication, and everyday convenience. Known more intimately as The Greenwich Building, 6 West 20th Street is a boutique, 11-story cooperative comprising just nine residences, designed and built in 1910 by esteemed architects Schwartz & Gross. The building has recently completed a series of capital improvements and infrastructure upgrades, including new passenger and freight elevators, updated electrical and plumbing systems, and a new Butterfly virtual doorman system, with a new roof nearing completion. The cooperative permits ownership through LLCs and trusts, pied-à-terre use, subletting, and pets. A full-time superintendent is on site Monday through Friday, providing attentive care for the building, while private access to an extra-wide freight elevator on every floor makes deliveries, art installations, and the movement of oversized furniture and materials exceptionally convenient.
