The chef’s kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances by La Cornue, Sub-Zero, Wolf and Smeg.

Located in the Nolita neighborhood of Manhattan, which borders the SoHo and NoHo neighborhoods, the Puck Building is an historic building which occupies the city block bounded by Lafayette, Houston, Mulberry and Jersey Streets. The 19th Century building was designed by Albert Wagner in the German Rundbogenstil style of Romanesque Revival architecture.
It is a full-service boutique residence with doorman. Restaurant catering from the Chef’s Club by Food & Wine restaurant is available.
The building has been used by New York University for the Wagner Graduate School of Public Service and its department of sociology, since 2004. It has both office space and ballrooms for large events on both the top and ground floors, the latter of which also holds retail space, which was added when the building underwent a large-scale renovation beginning in October 2011.
Mr. Kushner said of his project, “It’s a gorgeous, magical building, but I wanted it to become the most incredible that it could be, let it realize its full potential. The truth is that a lot of old buildings, if they’re not properly invested in, become tired old buildings. I wanted to take an icon and not just preserve it, but improve it.”
