Spend Summer On This Dreamy Tribeca Rooftop For $9M
Every once in a while a listing comes along that just screams summer, and the penthouse apartment of 105 Hudson Street, with its 3,000 square foot private rooftop, is one of them. The listing is so emphatic about the rooftop's vista that it even says it goes above and beyond the bounds of geometry with its "369 views." The apartment's interior isn't shoddy either, and comes with three bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, wide-plank hardwood floors, skylights, and north and east views. The whole shebang is asking $9 million.
Two-Tone Tribeca Condo Looks Just Like Its Renders Promised
Work on Tribeca's The Sterling Mason, which not so subtly takes its name from the contrasting colors of its red brick and aluminum panel facades, is looking pretty close to being finished these days. Field Condition visited the site to find that the building's finally, after seven years, starting to look like all those renderings that have been floating around since Taconic Investment Partners first blasted the building renderings across the internet in 2013.
Being Taylor Swift's Neighbor Costs a Mere $27,500/Month
Pop superstar Taylor Swift just played to sold-out crowds of 60,000 people on both Friday and Saturday nights. After belting out 19 songs each time, completing multiple costume changes, and inviting the U.S. women's soccer team and her supermodel friends onstage, she probably went home to recover continue embodying perfection in her enormous, exposed brick-filled Tribeca loft. Her two cats, Meredith and Olivia, were probably nearby. But as of this weekend, you too could be in the vicinity of Swift's private domain, too. That's because a four-bedroom apartment just two stories below Swift's sixth-floor fiefdom, which she bought last year from Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson for $20 million, just hit the rental market. For a relative bargain—$27,500/month—you could run into her (probably wearing a crop top and smelling like fresh-baked cookies) in the elevator or on the stoop. Oh, and there are beamed ceilings and exposed brick in this condo, too, which clocks in at 3,500 square feet and is being leased out by a "fashion executive," according to the Daily News.
New Tribeca Hotel Will Be 'Very High End,' Per Architect
Architect Stephen B. Jacobs presented plans for the hotel headed to 456 Greenwich Street to Tribeca's Community Board 1 Landmarks Committee last night, and Tribeca Citizen was on hand to get all the details. The hotel will apparently be six stories, not eight, as previously reported. According to Jacobs, it will be "very high end," which an average room size of 450 square feet, although the brand has yet to be "defined." The building will sit partially in a historic district and the part outside of the historic district will be slightly taller. The design, Jacobs said, is a "contemporary interpretation of mercantile buildings in the historic district." There will be some sort of restaurant on the ground floor.
Shocker: Tribeca Is Home to NYC's Most Expensive Zip Codes
[Those are some pricey blocks you're looking at.]
The data gurus at PropertyShark crunched the numbers on home sales over the last 18 months to find the most expensive zip codes in the United States (h/t CNBC), and New York City snagged three of the top 15—and the Upper East Side is not among them. The three priciest areas are all south of Houston Street, which is somewhat surprising considering all the record-breakers that happened much farther up the island over the last year. The highest ranked NYC zip code, 10013, includes most of Tribeca took the sixth spot with a median sale price of $2.8 million.
Tour the Bohemian Loft of a Pattern-Loving Tribeca Designer
From the bathroom wallpaper to the living room rug to the master bedroom's headboard, rich, colorful patterns dominate the decor of designer Marika Wagle's Tribeca loft. Wagle sells home decor and jewelry that she sources on trips to Morocco, Ethiopia, Turkey, and India, and her own home, featured Justina Blakeney's new book The New Bohemians: Cool and Collected Homes, is filled with those same finds. Wagle says she has a "general fear of solids," and proclaims on her website that "Too much is never enough!" Much of the artwork in her loft comes from friends or family—her niece created the work in the kitchen—or she makes it herself. Wagle designed the headboard, which doubles as a vanity, and she made the print in the office using photos from a 1960s modeling shoot of her grandmother. The loft features a lot of exposed brick, a private patio, and sliding doors to allow a more flexible floorplan. Currently, it's on the market for $1.795 million.
Tribeca's 290 West Street Reveals Steel & Glass Facade
The VE Equities-developed, Adjmi & Androeli-designed condo building at 290 West Street on the corner of Canal Street is nearing the finish line. Professional construction watcher Field Condition stopped by the site recently, and the scaffolding is coming down to reveal a good-looking facade of blackened steel and large warehouse-like windows. It kind of looks like a straighten-out version of Adjmi's addition at 837 Washington Street. The 11-story building has seen solid sales (and a cameo on Million Dollar Listing New York) since launching last September. StreetEasy shows four of the 13 condos remain, including the $15 million penthouse with a rooftop pool.
More Peeks Inside the Huge Condos at Tribeca's 56 Walker
56 Walker Street has revealed a slew of renderings of its Carlyle Designs-designed interiors, and if you like veined marble, oh boy, is this the condo building for you. They've got veined marble kitchen islands, veined marble sinks, veined marble entire-shower-walls, veined wall fireplace wall-columns/whatever you call those things. If it can be made out of veined marble, 56 Walker will feature it prominently in one of its 3,000-5,000-square-foot three- and four-bedroom condos. The Six Sigma-developed building is scheduled for completion this year, and the only unit currently listed, a three-bedroom, is asking $6.675 million.
Stalled Condo Project Will Finally Overtake Tribeca Parking Lot
[UPDATE: The project has never been formally stalled, and has only been drawn out because of the city's approvals process. Curbed regrets the error.]
DDG's had plans to bring high-end condos to the site of a parking lot across from the Tribeca Grand Hotel for a good long while now, and with the news that the developer's finally won a zoning variance that will help the two slim buildings rise comes new details for the project. According to Crain's, the developer plans to erect two buildings, one standing six stories and the other eight, on the lot that's shaped like two contiguous triangles. The buildings which will cover 30,000 square feet combined will have 10 apartments total that will ask about $3,000 per square foot, which Crain's notes is par for the course in the perennially pricey neighborhood. DDG is using their in-house design team for the project. Renderings on the firm's website reflect the same brick design that won the Landmark Preservation Commission's approval in January 2014.

Of Course This Small Tribeca Building Isn't Going To Survive
Tribecans hopes, dashed. When Greystone bought a one-story buildingat the corner of Church and Chambers last year, developers said they planned to keep some of the existing tenants—a hardware store, a coffee shop, and a liquor store—in place. That gave neighbors false sense of security that a big ol' tower of condos wasn't immediately going to rise on the site, whose address is 108 Chambers Street. Well, that's gone now. Tribeca Citizen reports that the residents of 38 Warren Street, a condo building whose side facade faces Church Street and whose back faces the southern end of Greystone's development site, got a letter telling them that 108 Chambers was going to be demolished, and that a 10-story building would rise in its place. Is anyone surprised?
Boutique Condo Building 15 Leonard Finally Shows Its Face
The prolific Tectonic Photo has long posted shots of under-construction sites on Flickr, but the photographer has now set up a blog and posted up-to-date facade pics of the long-in-the-worksboutique condo project at 15 Leonard Street. It shows that the six-unit project—first floated in April of 2012, contested in May of 2012, and approved in July of 2012—is close to completion. Its rise to nine stories didn't come without a fair bit of drama; developer Steven Schnall was sued by the owner of 17 Leonard for alleged damage to the latter's 157-year-old building. All four of its listed units are in contract, and those would-be owners are probably psyched that the construction sheeting is down.
Floorplans from Tribeca's 800-Foot Condo Tower Revealed
With interior renderings and pricing revealed and sales launched last week at 111 Murray Street, the 792-foot Tribeca condo tower designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, open listings should be right around the corner, and with them, floorplans. But ahead of that, a tipster has sent us three sample floorplans from the building, of a four-bedroom on the 50th floor, a five-bedroom on the 59th floor, and the three-bedroom A line on the 33rd-43rd floors. Most notable are the curving glass walls that span entire sides of the apartment. Prices reportedly are starting at $2 million for a one-bedroom and $17.5 million for a five-bedroom.
Tribeca's 800-Foot Condo Tower Reveals Interiors, Pricing
[Renderings by Redundant Pixel Studios, unless noted.]
After sharing some details with the neighbors last week, the developers of 111 Murray Street, a 792-foot-tall condo tower rising in Tribeca, now shared even more intel with the Times. The most important tidbit from the story? Prices will start at $2 million for a one-bedroom and $17.5 million for a five-bedroom, but the two-full floor penthouses will likely be well above that. The building's websitenow has more renderings, showing off the interiors of the 157 condosand the building's amenity spaces, which sound like they will be pretty incredible.
David Rockwell is designing the 20,000-square-foot amenity space on two lower floors, and it will include a tearoom and "jewelbox patisserie with daily offerings," as well as a private dining room that looks out over a private garden with a 15-foot waterfall and reflecting pool. There will also be a Turkish bath with heated sculpted marble beds, and a fitness center with a 75-foot lap pool.
Preservationists Fight Developers Over Historic Tribeca Clock
A group of preservationists has filed a suit against developers Elad Properties and the Peebles Corporation, who purchased 346 Broadwayfrom the city for $160 million, in an attempt to stop them from making the building's iconic clock, designated an interior landmark, inaccessible to the public. Under the developers' plan to convert the building to condos, the clock portion would be turned into a triplex penthouse, a move that the preservationists say is unprecedented and constitutes a slippery slope. "There is a larger public policy issue at stake," said Michael Hiller, the lawyer for the preservationists. "This constitutes the privatization of public assets. It's likely the first time ever that the city has allowed an interior landmark to be sold off for use as a private living space, to be completely fenced off from public view."
Could Exes Taylor Swift and Harry Styles Be NYC Neighbors?
Harry Styles, the kid from that boy band who wears half-buttoned shirts and only Instagrams things in black and white because he's soooo artsy, is looking for a new place to rest his head. At the tender age of 21, the One Direction frontman has been shopping Tribeca condos, the Post reports. Most recently, Styles visited a two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo at The Ice House at 27 North Moore Street that's asking $3.9 million (up just little bit from its 1999 ask of $616,500). And wouldn't you know, the apartment's just around the corner from former fling Taylor Swift's very well-publicized loft at 155 Franklin Street, Racked points out. Hopefully there's no bad blood there.
