History of Tribeca Buildings
Meet Your New Neighbors
Now that so many of the new buildings under construction are taking shape, we were due for a recap of where they’re at and what they’ll ultimately look like. Here they are from north to south…. Note: This is only new buildings (not conversions, of which there are a lot), and only the ones that are underway—so no 101 Murray, 100 Franklin, 403 Greenwich (which is increasingly looking stalled…?), 67 Vestry, 264-270 West, and so on.
Also: Check out the new design for 290 West, directly below!
290 WEST STREET / NEW DESIGN!
Location: Southeast corner of West and Canal.
Architect / Developer: Adjmi & Andreoli / VE Equities.
Size: Eleven stories; thirteen units.
Ground floor retail: No.
Notes: The previously released rendering had a notch in the façade—but the one posted on the plywood fence is different (and it continues the trend for protuberances). Also: Work is well underway.

460 WASHINGTON
Location: At the northwest corner of Watts, and going through to West Street.
Architect / Developer: Ismael Leyva Architects / Related.
Size: Ten stories; 107 units.
Ground floor retail: Yes.
Notes: Everything we know about the rental building is here.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
71 LAIGHT (A.K.A. THE STERLING MASON)
Location: Southwest corner of Greenwich and Laight.
Architect / Developer: Morris Adjmi Architects / Taconic Investment Partners.
Size: Seven stories (there’s a penthouse level not visible in the rendering); 32 units.
Ground floor retail: Yes.
Notes: From Adjmi’s website: “The existing 1905 coffee and tea warehouse on Washington Street will be converted to loft condominium units. A new adjoining structure on Greenwich Street will be a mirror image of the existing building. Every detail of the historic facade will be recreated in the new building but rendered in an aluminum panel skin with a plasma finish. The effect of the new building is like a ‘photographic negative’ of the existing building.” Also: A visit to the sales office.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
83 WALKER
Location: South side of Walker, between Cortlandt Alley and Lafayette.
Architect / Developer: Morris Adjmi Architects / Abra.
Size: Nine stories; nine units.
Ground floor retail: No.
Notes: The New York Observer on what Adjmi calls an “inversion of a cast iron building”: “Mr. Adjmi creates his unusual inversion by casting a glass-reinforced concrete that is the opposite of the typical Tribeca facade. Instead of columns curving out from the building, they are indented into it. The windows, typically recessed, jut out from facade. It is as though the building across the street had been pressed against this one while it was still drying.”
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
11 N. MOORE
Location: East side of Varick, from Beach to N. Moore.
Architect / Developer: Adjmi & Andreoli / VE Equities.
Size: Eleven stories; 22 units.
Ground floor retail: No.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
5 FRANKLIN PLACE (A.K.A. FRANKLIN PLACE AND 371 BROADWAY)
Location: West side of Broadway between White and Franklin (with the entrance on Franklin Place).
Architect / Developer: ODA / El Ad.
Size: Twenty stories with 53 units.
Ground floor retail: Yes (on Broadway).
Note: As you can see from the second construction shot, the Franklin Place side is inset quite a bit, à la the Crosby Street Hotel in Soho. Also: A visit to the sales office.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
56 LEONARD
Location: Southwest corner of Leonard and Church.
Architect / Developer: Herzog & De Meuron / Hines, Alexico Group, Dune Capital Management, and Goldman Sachs.
Size: Fifty-seven stories; 145 units.

15 LEONARD
Location: North side of Leonard, between Varick and Hudson.
Architect / Developer: Turett Collaborative Architects / Steven Schnall.
Size: Nine stories, six units.
Ground floor retail: Yes.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Architect / Developer: Goldstein, Hill & West / Fishman Holdings North America.
Size: Eight stories; 24 units.

Notes: The first rendering above is the Reade side (where the entrance is); the second one is Chambers (with a storefront).
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
12-14 WARREN
Location: On the north side of Warren (between Church and Broadway).
Architect / Developer: DDG Design (which is an affiliate of…) / DDG Partners.
Size: 15 stories; undetermined number of units (but they’ll be “large”).
Ground floor retail: Presumably.
Notes: A rendering still hasn’t been released, even though the building is well underway. All we have is the schematic on the construction fence.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
19 PARK PLACE (A.K.A. TRIBECA ROYALE)
Location: A sliver of a lot that runs from Park to Murray, between Church and Broadway.
Architect / Developer: Ismael Leyva Architects / ABN Realty.
Size: Twenty-one stories; 24 units.
Ground floor retail: Yes (only on the Murray side).
Notes: In the construction shot above, you can see one of the quirky rounded balconies.

Erik, do you have an estimate on the total number of apartments currently under construction in Tribeca? My calculation for FiDi (everything south of Chambers) has just over 3,000 units. I know there is a lot going up in Tribeca. This will result is a large population increase for CB1 and therefore the need for more schools.
Great Question Luis!
The short answer is no, I don’t (and I’m afraid I don’t have the bandwidth to figure it out). The longer answer is that you could get an approximation by totaling the numbers in this post and the last roundup of conversions I did (https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/2012/07/23/meet-your-new-neighbors-the-conversions/), although that wouldn’t include the many announced since then.
the rendering for 56 leonard st. does not appear to be accurate. it looks like the design extends through to worth st. but the construction appears to have stopped in the middle of the block. two shots from the 8th floor of 40 worth st.:

I’m very curious. I may take on that project in the next could of weeks, but I am pretty busy right now. :-) That said, it’s a very important piece of info and I haven’t seen anyone else report it. With FiDi building just over 3,000 apartments and climbing and Tribeca adding a significant number more, there is a HUGE need for more schools and other infrastructure. BPC isn’t participating in the boom only because it is full. They do participate in a different way as in the conversion of 22 River Terrace into Condos. I think it’s just a matter of time before Liberty Luxe and Liberty Green (which were built as Condos, but came to market as rentals during the downturn) reverts to Condominiums.
Thanks Erik for the recap of construction projects. Yes, lack of schools will impact all these new residents. Hope you can help us spread the word about http://www.BuildSchoolsNow.org. This is a small group of parents working with CB1’s Youth & Education Committee and elected officials to shine light on the lack of public school seats downtown. Our third gathering will be Tuesday, April 1st 6pm at Manhattan Youth’s Downtown Community Center on Warren Street. Public School Overcrowding is a problem that is only getting worse. There is money for a new 456 seat school somewhere in CB1, but it is not sited. With schools taking five or more years to build, the school construction authority is not keeping up. Parents of the under 4 set should be most concerned as K wait lists are getting longer each spring. Please sign our Build Schools Now petition, like us on Facebook, and join us April 1st to learn more.
