Metro Loft Management is a real estate developer and manager founded in 1995 by former Ukrainian art dealer Nathan Berman. The firm has made its name refurnishing (and in some cases, re-imagining) some of New York Citys iconic and landmark buildings, most of which are in the Financial District or Tribeca. The first of those was in 1997, when Metro Loft purchased a 15-story corporate Art Deco building in the Financial District, which two years later reaped rewards as a 111-unit residential conversion. Among the most recent conversions are the apartment building at 443 Greenwich Street, which Metro Loft in 2014 converted into luxury apartments. He also bought the former American International Group headquarters at 70 Pine Street in 2012 for $205 million, making it (at the time) the citys largest residential conversion with a hotel at the base. In 2015 Metro Loft closed on a $200 million ground lease for former New York Stock Exchange building 20 Broad Street, which the firm plans to convert into apartments.
