Residence 5 is a 2,370-square-foot corner three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home at 40 Mercer Street. Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel designed both the exterior and interiors, creating a home that feels quiet, intentional, and filled with light. Offering exceptional scale, pedigree, and quality within one of SoHo’s most important full-service condominiums, the residence also represents a compelling opportunity in the current market.
Inside, 12-foot ceilings, white oak floors, and oversized triple-pane windows with eastern and southern exposures bring exceptional light into the main living spaces. Positioned at Mercer, Grand, and Broadway, the residence benefits from rare open exposures on multiple sides.
A formal entry gallery leads to the kitchen, conceived by Nouvel with Carlos Molteni and manufactured by Bulthaup. Rich woods, glass, and stainless steel continue Nouvel’s material language, while premium appliances include a vented Gaggenau range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, wine refrigerator, and garbage disposal. Slightly offset from the expansive 28-by-21-foot great room, the kitchen preserves the feel of a true living room while capturing south and east light and framing SoHo’s cast-iron cornices.
The home offers a well-considered split-bedroom layout. The primary suite and one secondary bedroom face south, while the third bedroom faces east. The spacious primary includes large walk-in closets and a five-fixture marble bath with double sinks, soaking tub, and separate shower. Bathrooms retain Nouvel’s design language with back-painted glass tile, layered millwork, and clean glass-and-metal detailing. The secondary bedrooms each have en-suite baths and custom closets, while a sliding partition at the third bedroom allows it to open to the living room or close for privacy.
Additional features include extensive custom storage, a dedicated laundry room with full-size washer and vented dryer, and central air and heat.
The building’s signature glass curtain wall features mirrored, colored, transparent, and filtered glass within a soft metal-blue structure. Red and blue panes nod to Mondrian, contrasting with the surrounding cast-iron architecture. Triple-paned windows, retractable panels, and electronic shades provide light control, privacy, and remarkable quiet.
40 Mercer is a full-service white-glove condominium with a discreet Mercer Street entrance, 24-hour doorman and concierge, and live-in superintendent. Rare underground parking connects directly to secure residential elevators. Amenities include a landscaped terrace and courtyard, fitness center, and a 50-foot Carrara marble lap pool with sauna, steam, and Jacuzzi. The building rises from a cast-iron-scaled base into a glass-and-metal tower, with outdoor spaces that feel like a retreat from the city.
Set on a quiet cobblestone block in the heart of SoHo, the building is moments from Broadway shopping and the boutiques of Mercer, Greene, and Wooster Streets, including Prada, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Apple, Nike, and The Webster. Nearby dining includes Balthazar, Raoul’s, Fanelli Cafe, Lure Fishbar, and Sadelle’s, with caf
