Property details
About 205 W Houston St
Nestled on a vibrant stretch of West Houston between a row of brownstones and Film Forum, 205 West Houston is a turn-of-the century commercial space rife with both history and opportunity. This 25-foot-wide Class K building houses three generously sized commercial spaces: a retail level on the first floor with ceilings nearing 12 feet; and office spaces on the second and third floors, each with ceilings around 11 feet high. A finished basement and unfinished roof complete the offering, for a total of 4,875 SF above grade and additional 1,375 SF below grade. Right at the intersection of SoHo, the West Village, and Greenwich Village, the property benefits from the bustle of the immediate vicinity without sacrificing its historic charm. 205 West Houston is an unexpected marriage of location, volume, and original details. Upon entering the first floor, you'll notice the ornate finishes on the walls and wood banisters, and the soaring patterned tin ceilings. This level is ideal for the foot traffic on West Houston; imagine it as an art gallery or a high-end retailer, or a destination atelier only moments from the shops in Soho. The second and third floors are each currently configured as open floor plan offices. Tin ceilings and crown moldings imbue a creative sensibility itching to be matched by its occupants. Large windows to the north overlook West Houston, capturing the mature green ash tree outside as well as the passersby heading into the West Village or to the 1 train on the corner. Each level is spacious enough to serve as a standalone office, or combine them for a duplex headquarters. The basement, with separated rooms and a powder room, is an excellent annex and supplemental storage room. The roof offers intimate downtown views and endless potential. Bring your architect or contractor. Some images have been virtually rendered.
