A Century of
Downtown Character
Built in 1911, The Solita is a quintessential New York loft story — a former light industrial building reborn as one of downtown Manhattan's most coveted boutique residential addresses. The building sits at the corner of Grand Street and Centre Street, with this residence entered from the quieter, more discreet 221 Centre Street entrance.
The structure spans 49,719 square feet across 12 floors and contains just 18 residential units — a scale that keeps the building intimate and the community close-knit. Converted to condominiums in 2001, The Solita features Pella windows, original loft bones, and finishing that respects the building's industrial heritage.
Northeast-facing units overlook the former Police Headquarters — one of New York's most magnificent Beaux Arts landmarks — a view that captures something essential and irreplaceable about this corner of the city.
