460 Washington New York
Since its transformation from the industrial center of downtown Manhattan to one of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods, TriBeCa has become revered as an area whose vibrancy and appeal is surpassed only by its discerning inhabitants. In keeping with the industrial history, this new ten-story luxury residential development builds upon the complex character of this cobblestoned enclave, but with a distinctly luxurious, unhurried aesthetic.
Upon entry, residents are immediately drawn into the expansive lobby, anchored by the unique blackened steel fireplace–t. This strong vertical element is offset by white plaster panels and lacquered wood paneling. Two A long, richly-stained reception desks rests upon a floor of immaculate smooth concrete. This deeply textured environment continues through the main corridor to the elevator bank, creating a high contrast color palette of indigo blue coupled with perforated aluminum panels.
Also incorporated on the ground floor is a resident’s media lounge, a fanciful children’s play area and a Bauhaus-inspired gym and yoga studio. These areas are infused with glazed brick, tastefully minimalist light fixtures and blocks of color.
Central to the character of the building, and a compliment to the nearby Hudson River Park, is the open-air courtyard. Tranquil and, secluded, this beautifully landscaped space features rows of river birch trees, lush ferns and a dense bamboo hedge. A suspended walkway though the trees provides escape from the bustle of downtown.
Above the city fray, an airy wrap-around rooftop features numerous lounge and dining areas, ample sundecks and a merry playground, surrounded by impressive river views. These simple, yet elegant, appointments provide opportunities for relaxation and enjoyment, as well as fostering a sense of community.
‘Refined Industrial’ echoes throughout the individual units. Kitchens are reductive in palette: sandblasted oak cabinets, soft white millwork and charcoal gray quartz countertops. The spacious bathrooms are generously wrapped in white Italian marble and feature a waterfall showers with tinted glass enclosures, deep-soaking stone tub and dark machined metal accents.
Tastefully restrained, yet stylish, these residences complement the legacy of the locale. Unparalleled amenities, along with distinctive design and superior construction, underscore the beautiful balance between downtown aesthetics and uptown luxury.
