    The modifications to the Hubert Street facade and the ground-floor shutters are more contextual for the historic district. On May 8, 2020, the Landmarks Preservation Commission approved a Certificate of Appropriateness to demolish an existing three-story garage and office building at 11 Hubert Street, Manhattan, and replace it with a new five-story residential building. The new building will be located on the corner of Hubert and Collister Streets within the Tribeca West Historic District. Landmarks originally held a public hearing on the application on December 3rd but the Commissioners had concerns about the proposed design. Modified designs for the building were presented at the March 3rd public hearing, but Landmarks still had some concerns about the building’s front facade and cornice design.

    Six-story-plus-penthouse hotel approved after applicants changed the brick used in the cladding, and added masonry to large window openings. On September 8, 2015, the Landmarks Preservation Commission approved a proposal demolishing an existing building at 456 Greenwich Street in Manhattan, and constructing a new hotel, with ground-floor retail uses. The lot to be developed lies partially within the Tribeca North Historic District, with the western portion of the site lying outside of the landmarked boundaries. The site is currently occupied by a garage, originally constructed as a freight terminal building in 1942, and heavily altered in subsequent years. (more…)

    Nine-Story Building Will Replace 1920s Garages in Tribeca

    Landmarks Preservation Commission  •  Certificate of Appropriateness  •  Tribeca, Manhattan

    15 Leonard Street

    Landmarks approved a revised proposal for the Leonard Street site despite community opposition. On July 17, 2012, Landmarks approved developer Steven Schnall’s revised proposal to replace two one-story garages at 15 Leonard Street in the Tribeca West Historic District with a residential building. The nine-story, 108-foot building would rise seven stories at the streetwall, with a set-back, two-story penthouse. In February 2008, Landmarks approved a different plan to replace the garages with a seven-story building, but the project stalled and the property was sold.

    At the proposal’s public hearing in May 2012, Wayne Turett, of Turett Collaborative Architects, presented Schnall’s plan. The building would have a 75-foot-wide, one-story base, with the 60-foot-wide upper floors aligned to the eastern lot line. This would create a 15-foot shaft to provide access to light and air to a neighboring building to the west as required by a property easement. The building’s front facade would be framed in painted metal and feature an asymmetrical, staggered pattern of translucent channel glass with loft sized windows. The penthouse would be clad in a lighter shade of painted metal. The building’s sidewalls would be clad in gray brick. Four garage entrances, made of a mixture of opaque and translucent glass panels, would be built at the ground level, with a central recessed pedestrian entrance in the middle. A steel-and-glass (more…)
