About the Building

Nestled in the heart of Chinatown, 243 Canal Street is a six-story commercial loft building offering a rare blend of historic architecture and contemporary office space. Originally constructed in 1915 and renovated in 2018, this Class B building spans 28,370 square feet, with full-floor office availabilities that deliver open layouts, premium finishes, and expansive ceiling heights up to 12 feet.

Each 4,950 SF full-floor loft is designed to maximize both function and aesthetics, featuring exposed brick walls, abundant natural light from two windowed exposures, and tenant-controlled HVAC. The wraparound wet pantry, private restrooms, and glass-fronted conference rooms create an environment suited for creative firms, technology startups, and boutique agencies. Ownership offers flexible build-outs to meet the unique needs of incoming tenants, ensuring a tailored workspace.

Beyond the interiors, tenants benefit from direct access to multiple subway lines at Canal Street, including the 6, J, M, Q, R, W, and Z trains, making commuting seamless from any part of the city. The surrounding neighborhood pulses with energy, with renowned retailers, restaurants, and cultural landmarks just steps away. Notable tenants in the building include Santander Bank, The “M” Jewelers, and Tony’s Chocolonely, Inc., adding to the dynamic professional ecosystem.

Adding to its allure, 243 Canal Street boasts a private rooftop terrace, providing a rare urban retreat with unparalleled skyline views—an ideal space for informal meetings, client entertaining, or a breath of fresh air above the city.

With its prime location, historic-meets-modern design, and flexible leasing opportunities, 243 Canal Street presents an unmatched opportunity for businesses seeking a vibrant and connected Manhattan workspace.
