ootbridge Mansion, a landmark on Tribeca’s most photographed street, re‑enters the market at $29.99 million—an attractive price after its $50 million listing a decade ago. The 8,300‑sq‑ft property at 9 Jay St. has one bedroom and four bathrooms spread over two connected buildings linked by the iconic Staple Street skybridge. The complex last sold for $24 million in 2022, according to Gimme Shelter.

    The 118‑year‑old bridge, suspended over cobblestone, links a four‑story red‑brick mansion with a 1,200‑sq‑ft rooftop terrace to a loft across the street. The landmarked site also offers a private three‑car garage and more than 4,000 sq‑ft of air rights. The quiet Tribeca block makes the skybridge a popular backdrop for locals and tourists.

    Originally built to ferry patients between wards of New York Hospital’s 67 Hudson St. clinic, the bridge now serves as a unique architectural feature. “There’s nothing else like it in downtown Manhattan,” says Compass broker Clayton Orrigo, co‑listing with Stephen Ferrara. He adds the compound’s flexibility is “almost impossible to find.”

    The listing follows another distinctive two‑building Staple Street property—a 19th‑century home—offered for $30 million just weeks ago. Orrigo notes the timing is “serendipitous,” as his client accelerated the sale to capitalize on a rare chance to create a “family compound.”

    Inside, natural light floods the 6,000‑sq‑ft home built in 1907, featuring 11‑foot ceilings, exposed brick, and over 50 windows that frame views of Duane Park and the downtown skyline. The former residence of fashion designer Zoran Ladicorbic now boasts a private cast‑iron skybridge that leads to the third floor of 67 Hudson, where a private elevator opens to a 2,300‑sq‑ft corner loft.

    Orrigo emphasizes the moment’s uniqueness: “This is a very unique opportunity.”
