Couldn´t find anything about it so far. Is it a real building? And if the answer is yes is it in LA or NY, does anyone know?

It's a real building when you see shots from the outside – it's somewhere in NY I think, but inside, it's a set they built.

Does anyone know where it is in New York. I might travel to NY this year would be fun to take a photo from the outside while i´m there.

I think the building they show on the show is at 425 Broome St at the corner of Crosby Street. You can use google street to check it out. I think the best view is looking from Crosby south towards the intersection with Broom. Hope that helps.

A morbid little titbit on the side, it's two doors down from where Heath Ledger died in 2008, apparently he lived at 421. eek

Thanks for the link.

Its always neat to see places on street view.

 

Street view can be my 'new best  friend' sometimes. smile

 

ETA: and just for fun….here is a pic on google maps comparing the distance away from the 9th precinct (the real one in NYC; the outside of the building was used for the first season) and the building that BEFU found.

 

Castle's 'apartment' is on the bottom of the map and the precinct is on the top of the map.  smile

The 9th precinct in NYC's address is:  321 E 5th St. New York, NY 10003

But don't forget that according the the letter Martha got with the check in Lucky Stiff, the Castle-Rodgers family actually live at 595 Broome St which is … an empty plot or green area? [Image Can Not Be Found]

It is fun looking up the addresses they use in the show.  As an example the address of a Chinese restaurant that was printed on a receipt is actually an abandoned MTA building.  Also the address they used in Knockdown where Beckett met Raglan looks to be in the middle of a neighborhood.

Wasn't it said somewhere that the set they used for the inside of Castle's loft was the same used for Mick St. John's apartment in Moonlight?  I don't remember where I heard it, though…

does anyone know if the streets portraied in the show are actual NY streets or LA?

 

e.g. in "countdown" when the helicopter spots a black van on Broadway, is it really Broadway? Or some anonymous LA street?

They are actual NY Streets.  I gave a couple of examples above.

 

EDIT:  sorry re-read your post.  Chances are those are LA streets.  There is a video on Youtube from The Fifth Bullet where Beckett confronts the dude about the painting in the trunk.  That is shot on an LA street.
