A Landmark in the Sky: The Footbridge Mansion at 9 Jay Street

Nestled in the heart of Tribeca’s historic northwest district, 9 Jay Street is one of downtown Manhattan’s most iconic and architecturally significant private residences. Spanning two interconnected buildings — including a 4-story mansion and a sprawling loft — this extraordinary offering is unified by Tribeca’s famed Staple Street skybridge, a rare and cinematic architectural element suspended above cobblestone streets. With over 8,300 square feet of interior space, a 3-car garage, and more than 4,000 square feet of air rights, this is a legacy property offering unparalleled flexibility, provenance, and scale.

Rich in history, the property once housed the studio and private residence of a globally recognized fashion designer, and it remains a canvas for the next visionary owner. The entire structure benefits from brilliant natural light from all directions — south, west, east, and north — with captivating views over Duane Park, the surrounding landmarked facades, and the downtown skyline.

The journey begins inside 9 Jay Street, a 25-foot-wide, four-story mansion featuring a private garage with dual curb cuts, a full-height basement, and a beautifully scaled rooftop terrace spanning 1,200 square feet. With soaring 11-foot ceilings, exposed brick, and panoramic views from over 50 windows, this home is the pillar of Tribeca living. Currently measuring approximately 6,000 square feet, the mansion offers a stunning foundation for reimagining a dream home, showroom, gallery, or creative headquarters. A seamless transition across the private skybridge leads to 67 Hudson Street, a condominium where a private elevator opens into an expansive, sun-drenched corner loft of approximately 2,300 square feet.

Positioned just moments from Hudson River Park, the Tribeca Film Center, Washington Market Park, and a collection of the city’s most celebrated restaurants, 9 Jay Street captures the essence of downtown New York while offering privacy, scale, and story. Opportunities of this caliber — with architectural pedigree, private parking, and such an iconic feature as the Staple Street footbridge — rarely come to market. This is more than a home; it’s a defining piece of New York history and a chance to shape its next chapter.

Monthly common charges for the condo portion at 67 Hudson St are $1,797.12.
