The Cobblestone Lofts at 28 Laight Street is a boutique full-service loft condominium in northern Tribeca — 31 residences across seven stories, created in a 2000–2001 conversion of an early-20th-century factory-and-warehouse structure. It sits at the quiet northern edge of Tribeca near the SoHo border, on a cobblestoned block that gives the building its name, within easy reach of Hudson River Park, the neighborhood's restaurant scene, and the SoHo shopping district.

The building's appeal is authentic loft living with full service — a combination Tribeca buyers prize. Where newer construction simulates loft character, 28 Laight delivers the genuine article: timber-beamed ceilings, exposed brick, original columns, and oversized windows, in a condominium structure that adds the financing and ownership flexibility a co-op cannot. At just 31 units, it is intimate and owner-occupied in character, with the amenity backbone — doorman, fitness, roof garden, parking — that distinguishes it from the neighborhood's bare-bones loft co-ops.

Architecture and unit composition

The structure was converted from a series of adjoining industrial buildings into a single seven-story, 31-unit condominium, preserving the heavy industrial bones that define authentic Tribeca lofts. The exterior reads as a robust converted warehouse on its cobblestoned block; the interiors carry the conversion's signature character.

The 31 residences are true lofts — roughly ten-foot ceilings with exposed timber beams, exposed-brick walls, original structural columns, and oversized windows admitting strong light. Layouts vary floor to floor, as is typical of conversions of this vintage, and the boutique unit count keeps the building quiet. The pairing of genuine industrial loft volume with a full-service condominium operation is the building's core distinction.

Building operations

The Cobblestone Lofts is a full-service condominium with a 24-hour doorman and concierge. Amenities include a fitness center, a residents' library, a common roof garden, private parking, and storage. The building permits pets and washer/dryers as installed. As a condominium, ownership and leasing are governed by the bylaws and a right-of-first-refusal rather than a co-op board admissions process, so financing, pied-à-terre use, and subletting are materially more flexible than at a cooperative — an advantage that broadens the building's buyer pool relative to Tribeca's loft co-ops.

What this means for you

Safe to live in today — but the last inspection flagged repairs that are due on a deadline, so facade work and its cost are coming. Whether that’s a real concern depends on the scope, the timing, and how the building plans to pay for it — reserves or an assessment — which is exactly what we’d dig into for you.

Recent sales

With 31 apartments, the Cobblestone Lofts trades infrequently — a handful of resales in a typical year, often fewer — and genuine loft inventory in a small full-service Tribeca condominium is reliably scarce. Pricing tracks the converted-loft tier of Tribeca, with value driven by floor, ceiling height, light, outdoor exposure, and renovation rather than a single per-foot figure. Because the building's sales page is generated from public records tied to the BBL, it reflects recorded transfers as they post; for a specific line, a current comparable read is the right tool.

What to know if you’re buying

The draw is authentic Tribeca loft architecture — timber beams, brick, columns, big windows — in a small full-service condominium with a doorman, roof garden, and parking, and the flexibility a condominium provides. Buyers should focus on the variables that drive value in loft buildings: floor, ceiling height, light, outdoor exposure, and renovation condition, which spans original loft to fully modernized. The condominium structure means a lighter, faster purchase than the loft co-ops nearby. We help buyers find the line and floor that delivers the loft they actually want.

What to know if you’re selling

Lead with the loft and the service. Genuine timber-beamed loft volume in a full-service condominium, on a cobblestoned Tribeca block with parking and a roof garden, is a position that resonates strongly with downtown loft buyers — and the condominium's flexibility opens the audience to pied-à-terre and investor purchasers. Benchmark to Tribeca loft condominiums and conversions rather than to glass towers, and position the specific apartment on its volume, light, and condition. With turnover low, a well-prepared listing draws committed loft buyers quickly. We market Cobblestone Lofts resales to that audience and against the right Tribeca comparison set.
