Crosby Street Loft

This Crosby Street Loft project involved the full gut renovation of what was once a burned-out buffing pad factory. The 12-month transformation converted the industrial space into a sophisticated modern residence while honoring the building's historic character. The renovation showcases CooperBuild's ability to balance industrial heritage with luxury residential comfort.

The Challenge

Renovating this former factory space presented significant structural and design challenges. All beams had to be carefully leveled and the extensive brick work required meticulous restoration to preserve the space's authentic industrial character. The project demanded comprehensive solutions for acoustics, climate control, and modern amenities while respecting the loft's original architectural elements. Converting the raw industrial space into a refined residence required extensive infrastructure updates while maintaining the open, airy quality characteristic of SoHo lofts.
