Spring + Thompson: SoHo at a New Speed
With just seven loft-like residences, this boutique arrival to SoHo’s streetscape epitomizes intentional modern living in the heart of Lower Manhattan.
Tranquil and tree-lined, Thompson Street moves at a slower pace, at least by Manhattan standards. Its picturesque blocks, punctuated by quaint boutiques and cozy cafés straight out of a Woody Allen film, embody a scale that’s hopelessly romantic and helplessly human. It’s a rare stretch of the city where life seems to pause just long enough to notice the little details.
Located at 83 Thompson Street, Spring + Thompson brings renewed continuity to what surrounds it. Conceived by Selldorf Architects, this marvelous addition to Lower Manhattan is composed of seven boutique condominium residences, available from thoughtful one- and two-bedroom configurations to a six-plus-bedroom penthouse. The building, set behind a handsome façade of red brick and mahogany, exudes a restrained elegance, with floor-to-ceiling windows that flood interiors with light without overwhelming the exterior.
Making its recent market debut is Residence 5. Spanning approximately 3,483 square feet, this full-floor home features four bedrooms and four and a half baths, arranged in a corner layout that beckons views of a nearby pocket park and the Midtown skyline. High ceilings, wide-plank hardwood floors, and oversized wood-frame windows infuse the living space with warmth and sophistication. Closet space is generous, and the layout allows for both openness and privacy.
Like all homes at Spring + Thompson, the floorplan for Residence 5 emphasizes flexibility and flow. A spacious great room transitions seamlessly into a windowed kitchen, outfitted with a center island, mahogany cabinets, and lava stone countertops. All bedrooms are ensuite, with one, located off the living room, well suited as guest quarters or a media room. In the primary suite, you’ll find a millwork-lined dressing room and a sumptuous five-fixture bath, clad in limestone and terrazzo with a freestanding tub perfectly positioned beneath a window. Other highlights: a laundry room with oversized washer and vented dryer, and a powder room finished in Rosa Verona marble.
Spring + Thompson’s amenities package is unrivaled for a building its size. Residents can enjoy a full-time doorman, concierge service, a fitness center, and a dedicated package room. Storage is available on site, for both bikes and belongings.
But no single amenity can rival the address itself. The immediate blocks, branching out like a compass rose, boast a mélange of longtime staples and trendsetting new arrivals — classics like Boqueria and Blue Ribbon, LA-export SUGARFISH, and cronut-inventing Dominique Ansel Bakery. Just across Spring lies Vesuvio Playground, a historic green space with bocce, handball, and basketball courts, a three-foot mini pool, and more.
