Carter’s Review

"Located in the heart of trendy TriBeCa, Franklin Tower at 90 Franklin Street is a 17-story art-deco brick tower that was built as a bank in 1915 and converted into 25 sprawling luxury lofts between 1999 and 2001. 

Despite its long history, it is probably best known soon after its conversion as the Manhattan home to pop icon Mariah Carey, whose triplex penthouse set her back a cool $9 million in 2001. Bob Villa, the home improvement expert, also took up shop here for a while before placing his high-floor 2,600 square foot pad on the market for $4.5 million."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "stunning" 1929 art-deco bank-turned-luxury-loft building offers "sprawling" full-floor residences with "spectacular" 10-foot ceilings and "museum-quality" finishes. The "meticulously converted" 17-story tower features "palatial" apartments with "chef's dream" Boffi kitchens, "spa-like" bathrooms, and "impressive" city and river views. Residents enjoy "white-glove" service with doorman and concierge, while the "grand" marble lobby, roof deck, and exercise room round out the "five-star" amenities. The "one-of-a-kind" residences boast "magnificent" layouts with up to four bedrooms and separate maid's quarters, making this "architectural gem" a "standout" in luxury living.
