Located in the cinema capital of New York, Artisan Lofts is within gazing distance of the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge and the Hudson River. 143 Reade Street was originally built in 1929, but from the inside, no one could tell now.  A private lobby highlights a rotation of modern art, the 24-hour concierge and resident manager reveals the age of accommodation that we live in.

Artisan Lofts offers a range of consumer-oriented amenities, including a fully modernized fitness center. With a 50-foot skylight, residents might as well be outside. The mix of equipment options (cardio machines for the modernist and free weights for the old-fashioned), are enhanced by the addition of a yoga studio and a massage room. For the kids, Artisan’s private playroom, the Imagination Center, has all the bells and whistles that parents would expect from Tribeca, including a theater stage. Finally, adults will love to relax after work in the midst of nature; the roof garden offers lush greenery with the quiet that only non-land dwellers can enjoy in New York.

Each Artisan Loft condominium is carefully crafted to express an artistic, yet practical design. The design team of Roman and Williams worked hard to create a sense of class with airy open spaces, artistic ceilings of poured concrete, and corner columns that hint at an ancient Greek atmosphere. Oversized windows and high ceilings make residents feel like a part of something bigger, while the kitchen brings everything up to speed with 8-foot windows, solid walnut counters and walnut cabinets with a frame of blackened steel.

There is no shortage of neighborhood activities, in particular for the working family. The roads are wide, inviting casual conversation. Plenty of outdoor activities and lush green lawns invite the casual baseball game. The Hudson River Park is just down the road, and once a year residents can be a part of what makes Tribeca one of the elite: the Tribeca Film Festival. Along with the accompanying Family Carnival Day, residents here enjoy a true sense of community.

As of August 2007, 9 of the 38 residences in this development are still available for purchase. Most are 2/3 bedrooms with two or more baths. The square footage ranges from 1500 to 3033 square feet, some with a terrace or balcony. Offering prices range from $2.25 million to $7.25 million.
