Building: 1 Thomas Street

Welcome to 1 Thomas Street, a classic cast-iron building artfully re-imagined as eight spectacular rental homes that seamlessly blend old-word charm with modern refinement.
Built in 1870, 1 Thomas Street is a shining example of the era’s cast-iron architecture and the surviving member of mirror-image buildings — dubbed the “Thomas Twins” — that once flanked Broadway. Designed by noted architects David and John Jardine, the structures were built in the Italianate style — immensely popular in both brownstone and cast-iron structures of the time — which emphasizes elaborate ornamentation and repetitive forms. Impressive arched windows run along the facade, topped by scrolled keystones and bordered by stately Corinthian columns, while a projecting cornice with dentils and scrolled brackets decorates the roof line.
1 Thomas was land marked in 1989 and has been reborn, meticulously renovated by architects GreenbergFarrow to create eight gracious loft homes that blend modern finishes and high-end features with the coveted old-world bones of a true cast-iron masterpiece. Four two-bedroom, two-bathroom units span a generous 1,100 square feet and include lavish en suite master bathrooms, while four one-bedroom, one-bedroom units measure a spacious 850 square feet. Residences boast ultra-high ceilings and exposed brick, and benefit from the building’s original 10-foot tall arched window frames. Scavolini designer kitchens are outfitted with Liebherr refrigerators, Bertazzoni ranges and microwaves, and Bosch dishwashers and washer-dryer units. Spa-like bathrooms include sleek Lacava vanities and Waterworks fittings, while lighting by Atemide and Waterworks add tasteful illumination to every room. The elevator building includes a beautifully landscaped, furnished roof deck and virtual doorman.

Situated in prime Tribeca, 1 Thomas Street is at the epicenter of the best downtown Manhattan has to offer. Enjoy world-class restaurants Bouley, Tribeca Grill and Locande Verde. Take stroll through City Hall Park and meander to Washington Market Park’s year-round greenmarket. Or venture to neighboring SoHo, Chinatown and Little Italy. With 1/2/3, A/C, R, 4/5/6 and J/Z trains nearby, transportation to the rest of the city is effortless.
