Carter's Review

The stately, 12-story building at 101 Leonard Street on the southwest corner at Broadway in TriBeCa was acquired from Extell Development for $53 million in 2013 by Bizzi & Partners, which erected the Setai Fifth Avenue hotel and apartment tower at 400 Fifth Avenue designed by Gwathmey Siegel.

The former office building, which was erected in 1920, has been converted into 66 residential condominiums. 

The building, which is known as The Leonard, was formerly known as 350 Broadway.

Marin Architects and SLCE designed the conversion.  Mitchell Freedland Design did the interiors.
