479 Greenwich Street is a boutique loft condominium near the corner of Canal and Greenwich Streets, at the Hudson Square / West Tribeca border. Built around 1909 as a low-rise masonry loft/warehouse, it is a roughly six-story building with approximately 18 residences. The condominium spans a small assemblage of adjoining Greenwich Street addresses; 479 serves as the primary address.
The proposition is authentic loft living in a low-density building near Hudson River Park and SoHo. It offers the masonry-loft character buyers seek in West Tribeca, at a boutique scale that keeps operations simple. For the buyer who wants a quiet, tightly held loft condominium at the Hudson Square edge of Tribeca, the building is a rare find.
Building operations
The condominium runs lean and loft-appropriate: an elevator, private storage, and superintendent / part-time staff, with no full-time doorman documented — the right service level for a boutique low-rise loft building, and a factor in keeping common charges contained. Describe it as a boutique loft condominium with an elevator and superintendent rather than a full-service building.
As a condominium, ownership is by deed: purchases are subject to the condominium's right of first refusal rather than board approval, and financing, pied-à-terre use, and subletting are generally more flexible than in a co-op. Confirm the current pet policy, common charges, real estate taxes, and any assessments at offer stage.
Recent sales
Condo pricing is read on a price-per-square-foot basis, and 479 Greenwich sits within the Tribeca / Hudson Square loft market, where price-per-square-foot is generally strong. The building is tightly held with thin trades, so resale volume is genuinely light — comparable data is limited and any single sale carries outsized weight. When underwriting a purchase or a list price, capture the floor, the ceiling height, the exposure, and renovation condition rather than relying on a neighborhood average, and account for the thin resale volume plainly. Genuinely variable financial figures should be confirmed at offer stage.

What to know if you’re buying
This is a condominium, so the path is a purchase application and the condominium's right of first refusal rather than a board interview — a more flexible process than a co-op on financing and use. Read the house rules on the points that matter to you, review the condominium's reserve and any planned capital work given the building's age, and confirm how the adjoining addresses factor into the condominium's structure. The reasons to buy are the location and the character: an authentic masonry loft near Hudson River Park and SoHo, at the quieter Hudson Square edge of Tribeca.
What to know if you’re selling
The story is the loft character and the location. The circa-1909 masonry origin, the boutique scale, and the Hudson Square / West Tribeca setting sell to a specific buyer who wants an authentic loft near Hudson River Park. Because trades are thin, pricing is an apartment-specific exercise supported by careful comparable work: floor, light, ceiling height, and condition drive the number more than any block average. We position the building's loft character and location, account plainly for the thin resale volume, and benchmark against the right tier of Tribeca and Hudson Square loft condominiums.
