<p> Just arrived on the Corcoran website is an <a href="http://corcoran.com/property/listing.aspx?Region=NYC&amp;ListingID=885904">$11 million</a> listing that some might say is the 'most fantastic New York City HIDEAWAY you will ever see!'" We didn't say that, mind you. </p>
<p>For anyone still sorting out their 90's teen angst, actress (and Soho native) Claire Danes resides just downstairs in this luxury condominium, which was formerly three 19th century cast-iron factory buildings. The 4,848-square-foot apartment includes three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths. (However, there's an extensive description with the listing.)</p>
<p>While not as rowdy as nearby <a href="http://newyorkobserver.com/20060313/20060313_Michael_Calderone_finance_manhattantransfers.asp">30 Crosby</a>, this Soho building has had other big name tenants, including Billy Corgan. Unfortunately, Mr. Corgan sold his $3.81 million loft--two floors down from this one--in May 2005, as reported in <em>The Observer</em>.  </p>
<p>There was one other thing that struck us: the listing mentions that it was designed by Dutch architect Winka Dubbeldam. Indeed, Ms. Dubbledam told The Real Esate that she designed the space for developer Jonathan Carroll--who have since moved out to Brooklyn. (A few years after designing the apartment, the two would later work together on a <a href="http://www.downtownexpress.com/de_46/residentialdevelopment.html">residential project</a>). Using a variety of materials, Ms. Dubbledam conceived a "set of overlapping zones" for the Mr. Carroll's spacious loft. </p>
