Honto 88 is a full-service condominium at Henry and Market Streets in Two Bridges, one of the older market-rate condominiums in a neighborhood that until recently had little for-sale inventory. Built in 1989, the fifteen-story brown-brick building predates the wave of luxury towers that later reshaped the Two Bridges waterfront, and it offers something those newer buildings charge a premium for: full-service ownership — 24-hour doorman, a rooftop terrace, a recreation room — steps from the Manhattan Bridge, the South Street Seaport, Pier 17, and Chinatown.
For buyers, the appeal is an established, well-serviced condominium with genuine skyline and East River views from its higher floors, in a location that has become far more connected and desirable over the building's lifetime. As a condominium, it carries the full flexibility of pied-à-terre, investment, and subletting use.
Architecture and unit composition
The building is a late-1980s condominium in brown brick, fifteen stories tall. Higher floors capture skyline and East River views, and select units carry private terraces or balconies. Note that unit counts vary between public sources — the residential unit count is 74, while the broader lot count (including commercial and parking) reaches into the nineties; use 74 as the residential figure.
The condominium holds 74 residential units and shows extensive individual-unit sales history — a genuine for-sale condominium, not a rental or subsidized structure. Buyers should evaluate on floor, exposure, and view, which drive pricing variation meaningfully in this building.
Building operations
25 Market Street operates as a full-service condominium with a 24-hour doorman, an elevator, a rooftop deck/terrace, a recreation room, a live-in superintendent, and a package room. The full-service staffing is a differentiator in Two Bridges, where much of the surrounding stock is walk-up or smaller. Buyers should review reserves and building financials during due diligence.
What to know if you’re buying
Views drive value. Skyline and East River views from higher floors are the building's premium inventory — target floor and exposure carefully.
Full-service in Two Bridges is scarce. The 24-hour doorman and rooftop terrace differentiate this building from the neighborhood's smaller stock.
Condo flexibility applies. Pied-à-terre use, investment ownership, and subletting are all workable under the declaration.
Confirm the unit count basis. Residential units total 74; the higher figure some sources cite counts all lots including commercial and parking.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with views and service. High-floor river and skyline views plus full-service staffing are the strongest selling points.
Location has improved over time. The Seaport, Pier 17, and bridge access are genuine draws — market the connectivity.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30–45 days from contract to closing.
