Service Details

Moving downtown, where every building type is on the same map

Below 14th Street the buildings change block to block: cast-iron lofts, converted-office condo towers with reserved freight, and prewar walk-ups on narrow, sometimes cobblestone streets. Since 2013 we have moved all of them across Lower Manhattan. The downtown manhattan movers who get it right know when a job needs a freight window and COI and when it just needs a crew that does not mind five flights.

What a downtown move includes

A crew sized to the building, blankets in the price, and the logistics locked before the date. A tower gets its freight window and COI; a loft or walk-up gets its stairs counted and its truck spot planned on a tight street.

  • Freight elevator and window booked for condo and loft towers
  • Stairs counted and quoted upfront for walk-ups, no surprise fee
  • COI filed for buildings that require it before access
  • Blanket and stretch-wrap protection for loft, condo, and prewar finishes
  • Truck and loading spot planned for narrow downtown streets

Working Process

How your downtown Manhattan move works

We figure out the building and the street first, because downtown both change from block to block. Four steps, no guesswork.

Get your quote
Send both addresses, the floor, and the building type. We quote it upfront and flag the freight window, COI, or the flights.
Plan access
For a tower we book the freight and file the COI; for a loft or walk-up we count the stairs and plan the tight-street loading.
Moving day
A uniformed crew protects the finishes, works the freight or the stairs, and keeps the carry efficient on tight streets.
Settled
Everything placed, boxes in the right rooms, and a walk-through before we close out.

Why downtown residents call us

Lower Manhattan is the widest range of buildings in the city on the smallest map. A crew that only knows towers or only knows walk-ups gets caught out downtown, where you might do both in a week.

Why Choose Us
Every building type, one crew

Our movers are in-house W-2 staff who work all of Lower Manhattan, so a cast-iron loft, a converted-office condo, and a prewar walk-up are all familiar ground. We book the freight, count the stairs, file the COI, and plan the truck on a narrow street. Since 2013 that range keeps our downtown moves on schedule whatever the building turns out to be.

  • Upfront pricing. The quote reflects the building, the floors, and any freight or COI, so a downtown move is a clear number, not a surprise.
  • Freight booked for towers. Downtown condo and loft towers run tight freight schedules. We reserve the window so nothing waits at the dock.
  • Walk-up ready. Old downtown walk-ups are full of stairs. Every flight is counted and quoted; a fifth-floor carry is a normal job.
  • Tight streets planned. Narrow, sometimes cobblestone downtown streets leave little room. We plan the truck spot so the crew is carrying, not circling.

These guys are awesome. I didn't feel like I was getting scammed like with some other companies. The rate was great and they were so efficient. 3 hours for an entire 1 bedroom! Tony and the guys were very careful with my furniture and boxes. The most efficient and skilled movers! Will definitely use again.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle both towers and walk-ups downtown?
Yes, and downtown you often need both. We book the reserved freight and file the COI for condo and loft towers, and we count the stairs and plan the loading for walk-ups on narrow streets. Tell us the building and we plan the right approach before the date.
Do you book the freight elevator in downtown towers?
Yes. Most downtown condo and loft buildings require moves through a reserved freight elevator during a set window management holds. We book that window ahead of time and size the crew and truck to fit it, so the move does not stall at the dock.
How much does a downtown Manhattan move cost?
It depends on the building type, the floors, the freight or stairs, and the distance. We quote it upfront, hourly or flat, with blankets included and any freight window or COI accounted for in the number, not sprung on you later.
Do you provide a COI for my downtown building?
Yes. Downtown condos, lofts, and many co-ops require a certificate of insurance before a crew can enter or use the freight. We confirm your building's exact format and file it before the date, at no extra charge, so access is never the holdup.
Can you handle the narrow, cobblestone downtown streets?
Yes. Some Lower Manhattan streets are narrow, one-way, or cobblestone with tight loading, so we plan the truck spot and timing for your address ahead of the date. That keeps the crew carrying your things instead of circling for a place to load.
