Welcome to SoHo, a neighborhood that stands as a monument to New York City’s architectural and cultural evolution. SoHo, or “South of Houston Street,” is renowned for its abundant cast iron buildings: nearly 500 of them, making it the world’s largest concentration in the Cast Iron Historic District. These buildings are a testament to an era when SoHo was the heart of the city’s textile industry, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of what was once the city’s main shopping, hotel, and entertainment district. Known historically as “Hell’s Hundred Acres” due to frequent fires and its red-light reputation. SoHo has transformed into a hub of artistic innovation and loft-style living, credited with pioneering the concept of “Artists In Residence” (A.I.R.), where artists could legally live and work in their studio, its streets a being the perfect canvas for upscale living and high-end shopping.
