30 Park Place Construction Watch; See Rizzoli's New Space
FIDI/TRIBECA—Although it won't be complete until mid-2016, Larry Silverstein's sky-grazing pillar at 30 Park Place is looking pret-ty far along these days. New photos by Flickr user Tectonic show that a decent portion of the building is now covered in Robert A.M. Stern's signature limestone look; the developer and architect opted for a concrete imitation this go around, unlike with RAMSA's über pricey limestone-sheathed 15 Central Park West. According to StreetEasy, of the building's 110 active sales, only 12 are not in contract. [CurbedWire inbox; previously]
NOMAD—One of last year's biggest preservation upsets, the demolition of 57th Street's beautiful and lauded Rizzoli Bookstore to make room for a "seven-star" hotel, hasn't stopped the institution from planting new roots. The bookstore is making progress on its new space, seen below, in Nomad's St. James Building. It's no replica of its former self (at least yet,) but its spirit lives on. [Twitter; previously]
'Our Suburb' Mansion Chops Price Ever So Slightly, to $46M
When financier Mark Zittman bought the enormous mansion at 2 North Moore Street in Tribeca for $24 million in 2010, then proceeded to turn around put it back on the market, unchanged, for $48 million in 2014, it may have seemed like a foolproof plan. Apparently, though, it wasn't—the listing is now under the stewardship of Douglas Elliman(edit: it's a co-exclusive between Elliman and Compass) and the ask has been reduced, barely, to $46 million. Yeah, that ought to do it. Ridiculous pricing notwithstanding, the house is pretty incredible. One of the its former owners and creators dubbed it "our suburb" back in 2005, due to the size (11,200 square feet), and outlandish list of amenities: three-car garage, 47-foot-long indoor swimming pool, 1,500 square feet of private outdoor space, elevator, art studio, gym, etc.
Tribeca Mansion In the Sky Finally Finds a Buyer After 9 Years
Brace, people: after no less than nine years on the market, the bonkers five-story penthouse of 60 Warren Street has officially sold. One of the city's largest, longest-listed apartments, the penthouse hit public record somehow nabbing the full $24.5 million it most recently was asking. NYO caught the sale in public records and notes that the home's seller, ceramic model entrepreneur Edward Bazinet, made some earlier remarks about how the 10,991-square-foot space was "too big for two people" and that it was "not comfortable," which probably had a little something to do with why it sat on the market for over 3,000 days. The buyer is shielded by LLC "Mavis Skarloey," which oddly enough is an indirect reference to Thomas the Tank Engine. It sounds like whoever bought this apartment thinks they can, thinks they can make it a cozy home.
Orlando Bloom Leaves Taylor Swift Behind With $5.5M Sale
He is Taylor Swift's neighbor no more: less than 20 days after listing his three-bedroom apartment at 155 Franklin Street, Orlando Bloomhas sold his $5.5 million pad. NYDN reports that Bloom fled the building because of its high profile and constant throngs of paparazzi and eager Swift devotees.

Taxi King's Glitzy Tribeca Penthouse Wants $100K/Month
Back in December, Forbes reported that the 6,400-square-foot penthouse of Symon Garber, the controversial taxi king who is no stranger to scandal, would come to market asking $27 million. The listing never materialized, but now it appears that Garber is looking for a tenant—for a whopping $100,000 per month. The Daily Newsspotted the listing, which appeared Friday, and today StreetEasy saysit's "no longer available." Regardless, the listing gives the first look inside the unit at 101 Warren Street, and it is very...shiny. The seven-bedroom duplex home was originally two units that Garber and his wife combines. Designed by Richard Mishaan, the home features a lime green kitchen, walls imprinted with a circle pattern, and a master bathroom with Bisazza mosaic tiles.
Construction workers at the zig-zagging 56 Leonard Street are getting high—and not just because the cantilevering 60-story tower is nearing its peak. Neighbors complain that some of the development's 400 hundred workers smoke pot "in the middle of the day." The Herzog & de Meuron-designed building is all clear according to the Department of Building's database, so even if the allegations are true, the blazing isn't interfering with their work.

Kathryn Bigelow is the Oscar-winning director of The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty (but to us, she'll always be the woman who brought us Point Break), and according to city records, she just closed on an apartment at 449 Washington Street in Tribeca. Bigelow dropped a little over $3 million on the apartment, a full-floor, two-bedroom loft with a balcony, high ceilings, and lots of crazy gadgets, like B&O surround sound, heated floors and towel bars in the bathrooms, an ethanol fireplace, and blackout shades. The pictures, however, are not particularly interesting.
Long-Awaited Downtown Building Debuts As Pricey Rentals
It's been nearly two years since the new ground-up rental building at 84-86 White Street—a former parking lot that was affected by a 2008 rezoning—shed its scaffolding, and finally, the 13-story structure on the Chinatown/Tribeca border has some rentals to show for its lost time. BuzzBuzzHome first reported the listings, which appeared on the market about a week ago. Available units in the 33-unit building range in size from a $4,000/month studio to a $11,000/month two-bedroompad. The apartments have Poggenpohl kitchens with high-end appliances, radiant heat flooring, and independent thermostats.
Industrial Tribeca Home With Massive Skylight Wants $10.6M
Privacy lovers, behold: this renovated ground-floor Tribeca dungeonapartment has no windows for prying eyes. Okay, that is, windows in the traditional sense. The 4,300-square-foot home does have glass block skylights and windowed doors. The apartment was converted from commercial space ten years ago when the buyer nabbed it for a lowly $1.75 million. The renovated, rare ground-floor home at 55 North Moore Street has exposed beam ceilings, Italian ironwood flooring, and three marble-clad bathrooms. The apartment also has a separate service entrance that can be sectioned off as guest quarters. It's askinga steep $10.6 million.

30 Park Place's Bonkers Penthouse Isn't Even That Expensive
Although a few massive floorplans have already been revealed for downtown's tallest residential tower at 30 Park Place, the newly-unveiled floorplan for the bonkers combined 78th- and 79th-floor duplex penthouse far and away takes the cake as the building's most extravagant digs. The duplex penthouse, which has yet to come to market, will ask about $65 million, a bargain alongside comparatively opulent apartments in the works.
"If the best sacred architecture intimates the presence of a higher power, the G-d of the TriBeCa Synagogue is a luminous and soft-spoken one," writes the Times of the Orthodox Jewish Tribeca Synagogue, whose unusual undulating shell was designed by William N. Breger in 1967. The building's curving walls help amplify sound, a trait helpful for the congregation which practices a form of Judaism that prohibits the use of electronics on certain days of the week. The synagogue's president: "You don't have to speak that loud and you can fill the room." [NYT]100-Room Hotel to Rise on Tribeca Site Eyed for Restaurant
A block-through development site on Greenwich Street along Debrosses Street won't be getting a Gene Kaufman-designed restaurant after all, but a high-end hotel. Commercial Observer reports that Western Heritable Investment Company, Caspi Development and Barone Management are planning an eight-story hotel with 90 to 100 guest rooms for the site, which takes the address of 456 Greenwich Street. The lot—currently occupied in part by a single-story garage—straddles the boundary of the Tribeca North Historic District and as such, the developers have decided to seek Landmarks approval for the building's design. The project architect has not been named, although its rendering is accredited to architect Stephen B. Jacobs Group.

Apartments in the pair of combined 19th-century landmarked buildings on the short Tribeca street have finally launched sales.

What $4,100/Month Can Rent You in New York City
Welcome to Curbed Comparisons, a column that explores what one can rent for a set dollar amount in various NYC neighborhoods. Is one man's studio another man's townhouse? Let's find out! Today's price: $4,100/month.
↑ This Greenpoint apartment is described as a "true raw loft" and there is definitely no arguing with that. What walls it does have look like they were put up as a set for a play. Though we do doubt its claim of being a four-bedroom, there are at least two beds...somewhere. The layout involves ladders and is not entirely clear. It's asking $4,100/month.
