210 Lafayette Street

Richard Gluckman gave the building a curved-glass form that distinguishes it from everything around it — a smooth, modern volume on a SoHo-Nolita corner of masonry and cast iron. The architecture is the building's signature, and the design discipline of a celebrated gallery architect shows in the proportions, the glass, and the restraint.

The 53 residences carry the light-filled, open layouts that the curved-glass envelope makes possible — full-height glazing, contemporary kitchens and baths, and exposures that take in the surrounding low-scale streetscape. The building's two entrances, including the quieter Crosby Street door, give it a sense of discretion unusual for such a prominent corner. Higher-floor and corner homes command the building's best light and views, and condition varies home to home across the building's stack.

One Kenmare Square is a full-service condominium: a 24-hour doorman and concierge, an on-site resident manager, a fitness center, central laundry, and private storage support the building's 53 households. The dual-entrance arrangement and the resident-manager presence give the building a level of service and discretion that downtown buyers often can't find at this scale.

As a condominium, the ownership and transfer framework is condominium-standard: financing is not capped the way it is at a cooperative, purchases clear through a right-of-first-refusal rather than a board interview, and subletting and investment ownership are freer than at a co-op. Pet policy and house rules are set by the condominium board. Common charges reflect the building's full-service staffing — a fair trade for the doorman-and-concierge service level in a boutique building.

With 53 residences, One Kenmare Square sees a steady but limited pace of resales, with higher-floor and corner homes commanding the building's premium for their light and views. SoHo-Nolita condominium pricing reflects design pedigree, location, and condition; value is best read against the surrounding downtown condominiums rather than any single benchmark, accounting for floor and exposure. The building's auto-generated sales record on this site reflects recorded transfers tied to its tax lot.

Buy the design and the light. The curved-glass architecture and full-height glazing are the building's interior signature, and they pay off most on the corner and higher-floor homes. The design pedigree — André Balazs and Richard Gluckman — is a durable part of the building's identity and value.

Use the condominium flexibility. Open financing, lighter closing mechanics, and freer subletting than any co-op make the building accessible to a broad buyer pool, including pied-à-terre and investment buyers — meaningful in a neighborhood where co-op flexibility is scarce. We help buyers read the condominium's financials, reserves, and house rules.

Value the position. The SoHo-Nolita corner, with the city's best shopping and dining at the door and the quieter Crosby Street entry, is a rare combination of energy and discretion.

Lead with pedigree and position. A curved-glass building by Richard Gluckman, developed by André Balazs, at the SoHo-Nolita crossroads is a distinct, recognizable product — that pedigree and location are the durable selling points.

The condominium structure widens your pool. Open financing, lighter closing mechanics, and subletting flexibility make a resale here accessible to pied-à-terre and investment buyers a co-op would exclude — a real advantage downtown.

Price to floor and exposure. Corner and high-floor homes with the best light sit at the top of the building's range; accurate positioning is what produces a clean sale.

Benchmark to downtown design condominiums. Comparable analysis belongs against the surrounding SoHo, Nolita, and NoHo condominiums, with the building's architectural pedigree accounted for.
