The TriBeCa section of Hudson River Park with Jersey City beyond
Tribeca’s evolution has played out in real time over the past few years. Where the neighborhood was once best known for wholesale food market Washington Market, it is now famous for its high-end dining scene. The Tribeca Festival has grown from a 150-film festival to a celebration of storytelling through film, TV shows, podcasts, and video games. Commercial buildings and industrial warehouses got transformed into luxury apartments with expansive floor plates, original architectural features, and top-of-the-line appliances and finishes.
What has not changed, though, is its Lower Manhattan address along the Hudson River. Some of the protections of the five Tribeca historic districts have the benefit of keeping supertalls from springing up and blocking out river views from prewar buildings along the water. Outside the historic districts, high-rises can take shape to make the most of river and skyline views. We take a look at the top ten residential buildings overlooking the Hudson River from Canal Street to Battery Park City.
