161 Hudson Street is a boutique Tribeca condominium positioned for buyers who want large floor-through loft living in a small, low-density building. At 24 residences, the building belongs to the category of intimate Tribeca condominiums where the resident community is small, the per-floor count is low, and the apartment scale is substantial — a different proposition from the larger amenity-driven towers and the bigger loft-conversion buildings elsewhere in the neighborhood.
The corner location is a defining asset. The building sits at the corner of Hudson and Laight Streets in Tribeca West, the quieter, more residential western edge of Tribeca. Corner siting on Hudson Street produces the dual-exposure light and air that drive value in Tribeca lofts, and Tribeca West places residents within walking proximity to the neighborhood's dining, retail, and Hudson River Park waterfront while remaining off the busiest commercial corridors.
The product is loft scale in a well-converted building. 161 Hudson is a 1911 former warehouse converted to residential condominiums in 2004, delivering floor-through loft proportions with the open, light-filled floor plates and ceiling heights that define the Tribeca loft tradition. For buyers who want authentic prewar loft scale in a thoughtfully converted, low-density building, that combination is the building's core appeal.
Architecture and unit composition
161 Hudson is a prewar Tribeca loft condominium of 24 residences, built around large floor-through plans. The building's 1911 buff brick and limestone façade carries neo-Renaissance detailing, a large cornice, and a bandcourse above the second floor, and the corner siting at Hudson and Laight gives the upper residences the multi-exposure light that defines the building's appeal.
The apartment program is deliberately substantial: 161 Hudson is configured for large floor-through loft residences rather than small-format units. Floor-through plans deliver the open living volumes, ceiling heights, and window lines that Tribeca buyers associate with the loft tradition, updated through the 2004 condominium conversion. Specific unit dimensions, ceiling heights, and finish packages vary by residence and should be confirmed against the offering plan and the individual unit during due diligence.
The low unit count is itself an architectural and lifestyle feature. With 24 residences, the building maintains a low-density, low-traffic common environment — a meaningful differentiator from the larger Tribeca condominiums where common areas and elevators serve far more apartments.
Building operations
161 Hudson operates as a boutique Tribeca condominium with a part-time doorman, a full-time superintendent, a common roof deck, and storage. The condominium structure provides full operational flexibility — pied-à-terre use, sublets, pets, and foreign-buyer ownership are permitted under the declaration.
As with any boutique condominium, the small unit count means common charges spread across fewer residences; buyers should review the current budget, reserve position, and any planned capital projects during due diligence.

Recent sales
161 Hudson is a small condominium, and pricing is best read at the apartment level rather than from building-wide averages. Tribeca boutique condominiums price primarily on dollars per square foot, with the specific residence's floor, exposure, light, ceiling height, outdoor space, and renovation state driving variation around the building's overall range.
The broader Tribeca boutique-condominium dynamic is consistent: large floor-through loft residences in low-density buildings command a premium for scale, privacy, and the loft proportions buyers cannot easily replicate in newer high-rise inventory. Pricing in the segment is sensitive to floor and exposure — corner and upper-floor residences with multi-exposure light typically carry the strongest per-square-foot pricing — and to the building's carrying-cost profile, since common charges in small buildings are spread across fewer units. Because the building is small, comparable-sale data within 161 Hudson is thin by nature; sophisticated pricing draws on both in-building history and the wider set of comparable boutique Tribeca loft condominiums.

What to know if you’re buying
The product is authentic loft scale. 161 Hudson offers large floor-through loft residences in a 1911 prewar building converted in 2004 — open volumes, ceiling height, and window lines that newer high-rise inventory cannot easily replicate. Buyers seeking small-format Tribeca condominiums will find few options here.
The corner location drives light and value. Corner siting at Hudson and Laight produces the dual-exposure light that distinguishes the upper residences. View, light, and exposure vary materially by unit; see the specific residence in person at multiple times of day.
Small-building economics apply. With 24 residences, common charges are spread across fewer units. Review the current budget, reserve study, and any planned capital projects during due diligence, and model the full monthly carry (common charges + property taxes + utilities + insurance).
Condo flexibility is real. Condominium ownership permits pied-à-terre and investment use, foreign-buyer ownership, and subletting under the declaration, with fast (typically 30–45 day) closing timelines.
Mansion tax thresholds apply. At Tribeca loft pricing, the mansion tax and its cliff thresholds routinely apply. Run pricing through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
What to know if you’re selling
Pricing requires apartment-level context. In a small building, comparable sales are heterogeneous and limited in number — floor, exposure, light, ceiling height, outdoor space, and renovation state all drive pricing variation. Pricing should draw on both in-building history and the wider set of comparable boutique Tribeca loft condominiums.
The loft-scale story is the marketing story. 161 Hudson's large floor-through residences, corner light, and modern-building systems are the differentiators that distinguish it from older conversion stock. Marketing should lead with scale, light, and the boutique low-density character.
The buyer pool is specific. Buyers at the building are typically seeking authentic loft scale in a low-density Tribeca building — a defined audience that rewards targeted positioning over generic luxury marketing.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. Condominium sales typically run 30–45 days from contract signing to closing.
