Introducing one of the most extraordinary opportunities in Manhattan real estate – the ability to create an over 8,800 sq ft two-level penthouse residence high above Astor Place at 445 Lafayette Street.
This is a rare chance to assemble a home of unmatched scale, volume, and design potential, framed by 11-foot floor-to-ceiling glass and panoramic skyline views that extend across Lower Manhattan and beyond.
By combining Penthouses 17 and 18, you can create a contemporary showpiece unlike anything else downtown – a property defined by privacy, space, and dramatic architectural presence.
Existing Features (Before Any Combination):
Each penthouse is already an expansive 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom residence finished with exceptional detail and proportions.
Private Arrival: A key-locked elevator opens directly into a grand foyer and impressive open living area.
Integrated Technology: A fully automated system controls lighting, shading, and various in-home functions with ease.
Skyline-Focused Design: Open kitchens with bar seating on each floor are positioned to maximize natural light and sweeping views.
Primary Suite
The current primary suite offers wide western and northern exposures, two large walk-in closets, and a spa-quality bathroom with a deep marble soaking tub, dual vanities, and an oversized glass shower.
Versatile Secondary Spaces
Additional bedrooms can accommodate a wide range of uses, such as guest accommodations, workspace, studio, or fitness area.
Exceptional Outdoor Space
17th Floor: A full wrap-around terrace that enhances the entire level’s indoor/outdoor flow.
18th Floor: A private roof terrace accessible from the 21st floor, creating a dramatic open-air extension of the penthouse.

This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to create a landmark penthouse residence with scale and views that rarely come to market.
