In 1884, construction at 443 Greenwich Street was completed. For the rest of the 19th century and well into the 20th century, this building functioned as a book bindery and a variety of other industrial operations. While the building eventually fell by the wayside, it has been converted into a residential building that reflects its history while also providing residents with the latest amenities.
History
The modern history of 443 Greenwich can be traced back to 2006. Before the financial crisis of 2008, the NYC hotel market was on fire. As a result, there was a lot of interest in purchasing this eight-story building and converting it into a hotel. The sales description even said that “its bland exterior hides an interior courtyard that could be used for taxis and limos to drop off guests.”
Although the building was purchased with the intent to convert it to a hotel, that plan never came to fruition. Instead, Metro Loft bought the building in 2012 and moved forward with their plan to turn it into a residential space. The result is a gorgeous building with a total of 45 loft-style homes.
