$2.3M FiDi loft in a former eyeglass factory is easy on the eyes

Built as an eyeglass factory in the 1920s, this classic loft at 138 Fulton Street occupies a full floor with enough space for four bedrooms. There's also outdoor patio space—rare in a downtown loft. Asking $2,300,000, the 2,200-square-foot residence in the heart of the Financial District has a level of warmth and architectural character that's getting harder to find in a New York City condo.

Your guide to the Financial District, NYC’s oldest new downtown neighborhood

By Michelle Cohen

15 Broad Street: FiDi’s Downtown by Starck is Anything But

By Stephanie Hoina

The year is 1928: Scotch tape is first marketed by 3M, the first air-conditioned building opens in San Antonio, the clip-on tie is designed, the NY Yankees sweep the Cards in the 25th World series – and the Equitable Trust Building at 15 Broad Street was completed. For nearly 80 years the L-shaped grey brick stone building would house some of the most influential financial companies in the world, until developer A.I. & Boymelgreen rescued it from certain demolition in 2003 and tasked French architect Phillipe Starck to turn it into a luxury condominium worthy of the financial capital of the world.
