Carter's Review

This TriBeCa building at 7 Harrison Street on the northwest corner at Hudson Street is an extremely handsome, 8-story, red-brick building that was built in 1893 as a commercial warehouse and converted residentially in 2014.      

The building, which is at the north end of Staple Street, has 12 units.

Matrix Development LLC and Clarion Partners are the developers.  Matrix also developed the Urban Glass House designed by Philip Johnson in SoHo and the rental building at 19-23 St. Marks Place.

Steven Harris and DXA Studio are the architects. 

Rees Roberts + Partners are the interior designers.

Bottom Line
