Available for the first time in more than two decades, this extraordinary ground-floor space at 43 West 13th Street, known as The Glass House, presents a rare opportunity to establish a presence in one of Manhattan's most vibrant and architecturally significant neighborhoods.

Originally constructed in 1906 as an industrial warehouse, this historic pre-war loft cooperative has been impeccably maintained, offering a seamless blend of timeless character and modern functionality.

Spanning approximately 6,000 square feet across two levels, the space is currently occupied by a respected gallery owner and is equally suited for use as a flagship retail destination, showroom, gallery, creative studio, or a distinctive live/work environment.

With soaring ceilings approaching 20 feet, a dramatic open floor plan, and direct street-level access, it's a blank canvas for endless possibilities.

Stunning and functional as-is, the space also invites transformation-bring your architect to reimagine the layout to perfectly suit your vision and operational needs. Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, or brand visionary, this flexible layout can adapt beautifully to your specific lifestyle or business concept.

Situated between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, The Glass House places you at the crossroads of Union Square, Washington Square Park, the West Village, Chelsea, and the Meatpacking District. Surrounded by premier restaurants, boutique shopping, cultural landmarks, and unmatched transportation access, this location offers exceptional visibility, high foot traffic, and the creative energy of downtown Manhattan.

This is a rare and remarkable opportunity to create a lasting impression in one of New York City's most coveted and creatively charged neighborhoods.
