                    At the intersection of SoHo and NoLiTa, 285 Lafayette Street is a boutique full-service loft condominium that blends historic industrial character with modern luxury. Originally constructed in 1912 as the Hawley & Hoops chocolate factory, the building was transformed in 1999 into an exclusive residential address while preserving its architectural heritage.
Developed by Allied Partners Inc. and reimagined by WYS Design Partnership with interiors by Costas Kondylis, the building features a striking industrial facade, oversized arched windows, and distinctive loft proportions. The conversion created just 30 residences, ensuring privacy and exclusivity for its residents.
Homes range from expansive multi-bedroom layouts to dramatic full-floor penthouses, some with ceiling heights soaring up to 26 feet. Interiors showcase a perfect balance of original industrial details-such as exposed timber beams, cast-iron columns, and oversized windows-with refined modern finishes. Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, wood-burning fireplaces, chef's kitchens with high-end appliances, and spa-inspired bathrooms with soaking tubs elevate the living experience. Many residences also feature private terraces or balconies with sweeping downtown skyline views.
This building has long attracted celebrities and notable figures, including David Bowie, Iman, and Ian Schrager, adding to its prestige as one of downtown Manhattan's most coveted addresses.
