Tribeca has no shortage of historic architecture or one-of-a-kind residences, but few private homes are as instantly recognizable—or as structurally rare—as the Footbridge Mansion. Newly listed for $29.95 million, the live-work compound spans two landmarked buildings connected by the famed Staple Street skybridge. Over the years, the historic cast-iron bridge has become an object of fascination for architecture buffs and passersby alike but few understand the skybridge is the connective element between two parts of a singular set up.

The property is being offered by Clayton Orrigo, co-founder of The Hudson Advisory Team at Compass, and the sellers, Curbed reported, are Stewart Butterfield, founder of Slack, and Jen Rubio, co-founder of Away luggage, tech entrepreneurs known for collecting contemporary art and unconventional real estate. Their broader portfolio includes everything from minimalist architectural experiments to sprawling fantasy properties, making this cinematic Tribeca compound a natural fit.

Originally built in 1907 as part of New York Hospital’s ambulance annex, the cast-iron bridge once shuttled workers and patients between wards three floors above the street. Today, the two-building residence offers a ton of flexible space for living and working across roughly 8,300 square feet.

The 25-foot-wide red-brick townhouse on Jay Street spans four floors (three above ground atop a basement) with approximately 6,000 square feet. Along with a simple kitchen and three baths (one full bath and two powder rooms), more than 50 windows bring in light from all directions and frame views of Duane Park and the historic facades of surrounding buildings. The interiors are decidedly minimalist with vast open spaces, 11-foot ceilings, and exposed brick walls, while also offering unusual and highly coveted luxuries such as a private three-car garage and a sprawling 1,200-square-foot roof terrace.

Cross the private skybridge, and you enter a third-floor apartment of the building on Hudson Street. An elevator also provides direct access to the 2,300-square-foot corner loft space. The three large rooms include an eat-in kitchen, a nearly 40-foot-long living room, and a bedroom with a walk-in closet and a bathroom that’s exposed to the room.

In addition to all the looky-loos and Instagrammers, the property has attracted prominent creatives for decades. Andy Warhol reportedly once tried to buy it, and for years it served as the home and studio of fashion designer Zoran Ladicorbic before he listed the property for a whopping $50 million in 2015. Rubio and Butterfield purchased the assemblage in 2022 for $24 million.
