426 West 58th Street is a boutique loft condominium built through adaptive reuse: a 1910 limestone-clad telephone exchange building, preserved at its base and topped with a contemporary six-story addition, converted to condominium in 2004. The result is a 16-residence building that pairs the substance and proportions of a turn-of-the-century masonry structure with new upper floors — a distinctive design near Columbus Circle, on West 58th Street between Ninth and Tenth Avenues.
What buyers respond to here is the combination of loft-scaled space and architectural character. The original telephone-exchange floors yield residences with the generous ceiling heights, deep footprints, and solidity of an early-20th-century industrial building, while the addition delivers larger, light-filled homes on the upper levels. The apartments range from roughly 1,800 square feet in the original structure to considerably larger residences in the addition — genuinely spacious homes in a boutique, low-density building steps from Central Park, Columbus Circle, and the West Side transit hub.
The building is for buyers who want a design-forward loft condominium with real scale and architectural character near Columbus Circle.
Architecture and unit composition
The base of 426 West 58th Street is a five-story neo-Italian-Renaissance limestone building erected in 1910 as a telephone exchange — a substantial, well-detailed masonry structure of the type built across Manhattan for that use. In the 2004 conversion, a contemporary six-story addition was added above, bringing the building to eleven floors and blending the historic base with a modern top.
Inside, the 16 residences reflect the two halves of the building. The original floors offer loft-scaled homes with the deep plans and ceiling heights of an early-20th-century industrial building; the addition offers larger residences, several of them substantial, with more light and, on the upper floors, city views. The mix of original loft space and new construction gives the building a range of apartment types rare in a boutique building of this size, and the specific floor and residence drive value more than any single building average.
Building operations
426 West 58th Street operates as a boutique condominium with building services appropriate to a 16-residence building near Columbus Circle. That is a sensible scale — services and security without the overhead of a large tower. Common charges reflect the staffing and the mixed old-and-new building envelope; buyers should model the full monthly carry and review reserves and any capital history — including the interface between the original 1910 structure and the 2004 addition — during due diligence, as is prudent for an adaptive-reuse condominium.
Recent sales
As a condominium, 426 West 58th Street prices on a price-per-square-foot basis, with floor, exposure, whether the residence sits in the original structure or the addition, outdoor space, and condition supporting value. Turnover is light for a boutique building of this size; both resale and owner-rental activity occur, but it is an ownership condominium, not a rental building. Apartment-level context drives pricing more than any building average, and the loft character, the scale of the residences, and the Columbus Circle location support pricing for units that present well.

What to know if you’re buying
The adaptive reuse is the story. A 1910 limestone telephone exchange topped with a modern addition — the architectural character and the loft scale are the differentiators.
Know which half you're buying. Residences in the original structure and the addition read differently in scale, light, and layout; the distinction matters for value.
The scale is real. Apartments here run large for a boutique building — the deep original floors and the sizable addition units are genuinely spacious homes.
Location near Columbus Circle supports value. Central Park, the West Side transit hub, and Columbus Circle are all close; location supports price.
Condo flexibility is real. Pied-à-terre, subletting, foreign buyers, and LLC/trust ownership are permitted under the declaration; closings run on condo timelines.
Mansion tax thresholds apply. At this building's pricing, the $1M, $2M, and higher cliffs can be in play. Run pricing through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
Variable board financial policy — confirm at offer stage. Financing percentages and any sublet terms specific to your situation should be confirmed in writing before you commit.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the architecture and the scale. The adaptive-reuse story and the loft proportions are the differentiators; marketing should foreground them.
Pricing requires apartment-level comps. With 16 residences split between original structure and addition, floor, scale, exposure, and condition all move the number.
Present the character and the space. Photography that reads the ceiling heights, the light, and the loft proportions supports price.
