Iliyopo katika kiunganisho cha SoHo, TriBeCa, Nolita, na Chinatown, Kitengo 1B katika Mtaa wa 136 Baxter kinatoa fursa adimu ya kuishi katika loft halisi ya katikati ya jiji ndani ya condominium ya kuishi/kufanya kazi kabla ya vita. Kiwango sawa cha jinsi ya sanaa, ateli, na muundo wa usanifu unaoashiria, nafasi hii ya duplex inakidhi kiwango na ukweli vinavyoendelea kufafanua mazingira ya kuvutia zaidi ya New York.

Ineweza kuingia kupitia ingilio la mtaa la kibinafsi lililojaa miti au kupitia mapokezi makuu ya jengo, loft inaenea katika viwango viwili vinavyoruhusu kutenganisha wazi kati ya kazi za umma na za kibinafsi. Kiwango cha juu kinafafanuliwa na dari za pine zenye urefu wa futi 14, madirisha makubwa ya mtindo wa ghala, matofali yaliyonyooshwa, na viimalizo vya awali vilivyoifadhiwa, pamoja na jikoni iliyoingizwa kwa furaha. Hali na mwangaza vinaunda mazingira bora kwa ukusanyaji wa sanaa uliochaguliwa, studio ya ubunifu, au mazingira ya show-room yenye kubadilika, huku ikihifadhi ukimya wa jazba unaotarajiwa kutoka kwa nafasi ya katikati ya jiji.

Chini, kiwango cha pili cha duplex hutumikia kama eneo la kazi kubwa au nyongeza ya nyuma, bora kwa ajili ya maktaba, uzalishaji wa vyombo, au matumizi ya ofisi za ziada. Imezuiliwa na ngazi ya chuma, kiwango cha chini kinaongeza hifadhi na maeneo yaliyowekwa yanayotoa matumizi na faragha bila kuathiri muonekano wa jumla wa loft.

Kinachotenganisha Kitengo 1B ni unyumbufu wake wa kipekee. Nyuso za kiwango cha galasi ndani ya condominium ya kuishi na kufanya kazi kwa kawaida hazipatikani katika soko la katikati ya jiji la leo. Iwapo na milango miwili huru, nafasi hiyo inaelekea kwa urahisi kwa matumizi ya kukabiliana na wateja au kitaaluma huku ikihifadhi faragha na uhuru wa jengo la boutique.

Awali ilijengwa mwaka 1915 kama mabanda ya farasi na baadaye kufikiriwa upya mwaka 1927 kama ghala la Grand Machinery Exchange, jengo hili linawakilisha historia ya usanifu iliyofichwa inayosherehekea mabadiliko ya Manhattan ya chini. Imebadilishwa mwaka 2007 kuwa condominium ya boutique ya matumizi mchanganyiko yenye vitengo 14 pekee, 136 Baxter Street inatoa mlango wa virtual, chumba cha pakiti, na msimamizi wa wakati wote, yote yakiwa karibu na dining, taasisi za kitamaduni, na mistari mikuu ya usafiri iliyo hai zaidi ya jirani.

Inapatikana sasa kama kitengo cha kibiashara, au wasiliana na mbunifu kuchunguza kamili ya uwezekano wa nafasi hii ya ajabu.

Positioned at the nexus of SoHo, TriBeCa, Nolita, and Chinatown, Unit 1B at 136 Baxter Street offers a rare opportunity to inhabit a true downtown loft within a prewar live/work condominium. Equal parts gallery, atelier, and inspiring architectural frame, this duplex space embodies the scale and authenticity that continue to define New York’s most compelling environments.

Entered either through a private, tree-lined street entrance or via the building’s main lobby, the loft unfolds across two levels that allow for clear separation between public-facing and private functions. The upper level is defined by soaring 14-foot pine ceilings, oversized warehouse-style windows, exposed brick, and preserved original finishes, as well as a discreetly integrated kitchenette. The volume and light create an ideal setting for a curated art collection, creative studio, or flexible showroom environment, while maintaining the quiet refinement expected of a downtown space.

Below, the duplex’s secondary level functions as a dedicated workspace or back-of-house extension, ideal for archives, media production, or auxiliary office use. Anchored by a cast-iron staircase, the lower level includes additional storage and built-ins offering utility and privacy without sacrificing the cohesive loft aesthetic.

What distinguishes Unit 1B is its exceptional flexibility. The gallery-scale footprint within a live and work condominium is rarely available in today’s downtown market. With two independent entrances, the space adapts effortlessly to client-facing or professional use while maintaining the discretion and autonomy of a boutique building.

Originally constructed in 1915 as horse stables and later reimagined in 1927 as the Grand Machinery Exchange warehouse, the building reflects a layered architectural history emblematic of lower Manhattan’s evolution. Converted in 2007 into a boutique mixed-use condominium with just 14 units, 136 Baxter Street offers a virtual doorman, package room, and full-time superintendent, all moments from the neighborhood’s most vibrant dining, cultural institutions, and major transit lines.

Available now as a commercial unit, or consult with an architect to explore the full complement of possibilities for this incredible space.
