With many Tribeca buyers being attracted to the neighborhood for its rich history, developers may find it smartest to hew to traditional architecture whether the building is in a historic district or not. As an example, see 465 Washington Street: It is just outside the Tribeca North Historic District, but this five-story loft was seamlessly expanded into a ten-story condominium. Previously posted information indicated that the building would be retrofitted to Passive House standards, but the rendering on architect Zakrzweski + Hyde's website shows a traditional brick facade as opposed to an airtight building envelope. Most recently, sales have launched on the nine full-floor units that masterfully combine original details of yesteryear with state-of-the-art appliances, finishes, and fixtures.
465 Washington Street is situated in a previously quiet section of Tribeca that has seen robust development in recent years. Neighbors include 70 Vestry Street (which has attracted the likes of Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen), 290 West Street, and the upcoming conversion of 67 Vestry Street from a turn-of-the-century loft building to a luxury condominium.
