Residence 8A, 561 Broadway – The Little Singer Building, SoHo

Welcome to Residence 8A at the iconic Little Singer Building, a 1904 Beaux-Arts masterpiece reimagined for modern living in the heart of SoHo. Every inch of this one-of-a-kind loft has been meticulously transformed by Studio Todd Raymond, resulting in an extraordinary home that balances luxurious comfort with dramatic architectural presence.

From the moment you enter, a sweeping floor-to-ceiling terrazzo expanse sets a glamorous tone, carrying seamlessly into the secondary bedroom, bath, powder room, and laundry. At the opposite end, an extraordinary 50-foot wall of double paned French doors outfitted with custom polished nickel cremone hardware opens onto a gracious terrace crowned with intricate wrought-iron detailing. The eastern views soar over SoHo’s rooftops, evoking a distinctly European sensibility in the midst of downtown Manhattan’s most vibrant neighborhood.

The open-plan layout is designed for both lavish entertaining and serene everyday living. The chef’s kitchen is anchored by a cascading island in Grigio Collemendina marble and is outfitted with a Pitt cooktop, Gaggenau refrigerator, dual Miele dishwashers, and dual Wolf ovens. For flexibility, the entire kitchen can be concealed behind custom bifold doors and oak enclosures, transforming seamlessly from culinary workspace to elegant entertaining backdrop. Adjacent, the media room creates a comfortable, connected environment, while a corner dining area with classic SoHo views accommodates ten with ease.

The formal living area stretches across the eastern expanse of the loft providing the perfect setting for grand entertaining. A sophisticated black granite and lacquer-clad bar completes the grand entertaining expanse.

Architectural secrets abound—concealed storage, custom raised paneling, art rails, and integrated millwork maximize both utility and aesthetic refinement. Throughout, solid oak flooring extends beyond the Terrazzo. For your comfort and convenience is complemented by Savant smart-home system controls lighting, hidden speakers, and window treatments. The central AC system even emits the scent of your choice.

The private quarters are a masterclass in design. The primary suite is introduced by a mirrored door that cleverly disappears into the walls, creating a fluid boundary between public and private realms. Inside, upholstered suede walls imbue warmth, while a custom-outfitted dressing room in solid oak millwork accommodates the most extensive wardrobes and accessory collections. The spa-like bath is clad in floor-to-ceiling travertine and features dual vanities, a luxurious shower with dual shower heads, heated floors, and towel bars for a five-star experience.

A rare opportunity to live in a piece of New York history, 561 Broadway—affectionately known as the Little Singer Building—is an intimate cooperative recognized for its cast-iron detailing, lacy strip balconies, and restored façade that remains one of SoHo’s most admired landmarks. With its prime location, residents enjoy immediate access to world-class shopping, fine dining, galleries, and the best of Downtown Manhattan, from Greenwich Village to Tribeca.

Residence 8A is not just a home, but a work of art—sophisticated, storied, and utterly unique. Listing courtesy of Compass ...
