The Schumacher at 36 Bleecker
The Schumacher at 36 Bleecker Street is not a building that was designed on a computer screen. It was born in 1883, when architect Edward E. Raht created a Romanesque Revival printing house for the Schumacher family on one of downtown Manhattan's most storied blocks. More than 130 years later, Stillman Development and Morris Adjmi Architects have transformed this landmark structure into 20 ultra-luxury residences that honor every original detail while delivering the performance and finish today's most discerning buyers demand.
What separates The Schumacher from the wave of new-construction glass towers reshaping Manhattan's skyline is authenticity that cannot be manufactured. The original brick, terra cotta ornamentation, limestone detailing, and rhythmic arched windows have been painstakingly preserved — a facade that tells a story no ground-up development can replicate. Inside, barrel-vaulted ceilings and muscular structural elements create interiors with a depth and character that simply do not exist in conventional luxury product.
Morris Adjmi, one of the city's most respected architects for contextual design, approached the conversion with a philosophy of restraint and respect. The goal was never to erase the building's industrial past but to elevate it — layering contemporary precision onto a canvas of 19th-century craftsmanship. The result is a building that feels both timeless and unmistakably of this moment.

Why Buyers Choose The Schumacher at 36 Bleecker

Morris Adjmi's Masterful Conversion

Our Take on The Schumacher at 36 Bleecker
The Schumacher at 36 Bleecker occupies a unique position in Manhattan's ultra-luxury landscape. This is not a building competing on ceiling height or floor count.

For buyers who understand the difference between manufactured luxury and the real thing, 36 Bleecker is in a class by itself.
NoHo has quietly become one of downtown Manhattan's most sought-after residential neighborhoods, attracting buyers who value the landmarked streetscape, world-class dining scene, and proximity to both the cultural energy of the East Village and the retail prestige of SoHo. The Schumacher sits at the heart of that appeal, on a block that embodies everything that makes this neighborhood exceptional.

The Schumacher at 36 Bleecker: NoHo's Defining Conversion
In a market saturated with glass-and-steel towers reaching for the sky, The Schumacher at 36 Bleecker Street offers something profoundly different: a building with a soul. Designed in 1883 by architect Edward E. Raht as a Romanesque Revival printing house, this seven-story NoHo landmark has been transformed by Stillman Development and Morris Adjmi Architects into 20 ultra-luxury residences that rank among the most distinctive homes in all of downtown Manhattan.
The preserved facade is a masterclass in 19th-century craftsmanship — original brick, intricately carved terra cotta ornamentation, limestone banding, and a procession of arched windows that give the building a rhythm and presence no new construction can replicate. Inside, barrel-vaulted ceilings and exposed structural elements create loft-scale living spaces with a depth of character that belongs exclusively to buildings shaped by more than a century of New York history.
The interiors deliver on the promise of the architecture. Poliform kitchens with Gaggenau appliance suites anchor the living spaces, while bathrooms and finishes throughout reflect the precision and material quality that ultra-luxury buyers in this price tier expect. Ken Smith's courtyard and rooftop gardens introduce rare private outdoor space into one of Manhattan's most densely built neighborhoods — a luxury that cannot be understated in NoHo.
With just 20 residences priced from $4.25M, The Schumacher operates at a scale that ensures exclusivity, privacy, and a residential experience that larger buildings simply cannot match. For buyers seeking a home with irreplaceable architectural DNA in one of New York's most dynamic neighborhoods, The Schumacher is the standard. Manhattan Miami's advisory team is available for private consultations and availability updates.
