Few Manhattan apartments give you this much room to breathe. Set in Union Square, one of the city's most connected neighbourhoods, this loft unfolds across a ceiling height that makes the already generous layout feel expansive – twelve-foot ceilings, wide windows, and a curated art collection that makes the space feel lived-in rather than dressed up. Central Park is a twelve-minute walk, the Empire State Building around seventeen minutes on foot, and The High Line a twenty-one-minute stroll – so whether you want green space or city spectacle, both are well within reach.
The Plum Promise
- No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.

Home truths
Street parking is available near the apartment at no extra cost, though spaces can be competitive in Union Square – we recommend checking local parking rules and street-cleaning schedules before you arrive.
If you're travelling with a baby or toddler, your host can provide a cot during your stay – worth requesting in advance to make sure it's ready on arrival.
The home benefits from direct key-locked elevator access, so it may suit guests with reduced mobility.

Local guide
About Union Square & Flatiron
Union Square and its surrounding area is a rare combination of affluence and convenience, with a handful of subway stops all converging in one place as well as upscale restaurants. It's not just a transit hub though, and the square is a fun place to hang out in the summer months and watch the world go by - you're almost always sure to find dog lovers and chess players, activists...
