Neighborhood Guide
SoHo
SoHo remains one of the world's most recognizable luxury neighborhoods, celebrated for its magnificent cast-iron architecture, premier gallery scene, and global flagship retail. The neighborhood's expansive loft residences, many featuring soaring ceilings and original architectural details, represent some of the most distinctive living spaces in all of Manhattan.
SoHo, short for South of Houston, is defined by one of the finest collections of cast-iron architecture in the world. These magnificent 19th-century buildings, originally built as commercial warehouses, have been transformed into some of Manhattan's most spectacular residential lofts, featuring soaring ceilings, massive windows, and open floor plans.
The neighborhood's cobblestone streets are home to an extraordinary concentration of luxury retail, from global fashion houses on Broadway and Prince Street to curated independent boutiques on Crosby and Mercer Streets. SoHo's gallery scene continues to attract world-class exhibitions and emerging talent.
SoHo's residential market is among the most exclusive in Manhattan, with limited inventory and consistently strong demand.
