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.
