255 Hudson Street is a ground-up boutique condominium completed in 2006 in Hudson Square — the low-rise pocket where SoHo, Tribeca, and the West Village meet. Designed by Handel Architects for a 12-story, 64-unit building, it brought new-construction layouts, floor-to-ceiling glass, and a full-service staff to a neighborhood that, two decades ago, was still mostly printing plants and parking. It arrived early in Hudson Square's residential transformation, and it has aged into one of the area's established full-service addresses.
The building's appeal is its scale and its product. At 64 residences it is intimate enough to feel boutique, but large enough to support a doorman, a live-in superintendent, and a roof deck with open Hudson River views. The homes were built as condominiums from the start — modern systems, near-ten-foot ceilings, light on three or four exposures depending on the line — which gives owners renovation latitude and buyers the financing and ownership flexibility a condominium provides in a downtown market where much of the comparable stock is co-op loft conversion.
Building operations
255 Hudson runs as a full-service condominium: a full-time doorman, a live-in superintendent, a common roof deck with river views, a bike room, and a package room. The building is pet-friendly. As a condominium, governance is light — a right-of-first-refusal rather than a co-op board package, no financing cap, and customary acceptance of pied-à-terre, trust, and LLC ownership. Subletting is materially freer than at the surrounding co-op loft buildings, which makes 255 Hudson attractive to buyers who want flexibility in a neighborhood otherwise heavy on cooperative conversions.

What to know if you’re buying
The building offers downtown new construction with condominium flexibility. Financing is flexible — no co-op cap. There is no board interview — a right-of-first-refusal clears the purchase. Pied-à-terre, LLC, and trust ownership are customary, the building is pet-friendly, and subletting is far freer than at the neighborhood's co-op lofts. The product to study is the line: the garden duplexes and the western, river-facing high floors are the scarce inventory and price accordingly, while the lower interior homes offer the more accessible entry point. We help buyers read the resale history line by line and weigh 255 Hudson against the broader Hudson Square and Tribeca condominium set.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the structure and the light. A full-service condominium with river views, garden duplexes, and a roof deck in Hudson Square is a distinct product — and the condominium flexibility widens the buyer pool beyond what a co-op loft can reach. Benchmark to the area's condominiums, not to the co-op conversions, which trade on different financing and sublet terms. The scarce lines sell themselves: a garden duplex or a high western home competes against very little comparable supply, and the right-of-first-refusal keeps the closing faster and more predictable than a co-op board process.
