Amid the art galleries, boutiques, and restaurants of Lower Manhattan’s tony Tribeca neighborhood is an architectural gem.
The 53-unit apartment complex at 443 Greenwich Street was once a bookbindery. But it has been transformed into an ultra-luxury apartment building. One unit belongs to Mark Lore, president and CEO of Walmart’s e-commerce business.
The Daily Mail profiled the spectacular living quarters.
One of the most appealing aspects of this apartment is that its redesigners retained some of the architectural details from its origins. These wooden beams, for example, could have been removed, with their load-bearing responsibilities incorporated elsewhere. They were, however, lovingly restored and remain a beautiful accent with a purpose.
As for the rest of the property’s industrial past, it has been transformed into an open, contemporary living space. The entryway, living room, dining room, and kitchen are laid out to enable free flow from area to area, either in daily life or while entertaining.
The kitchen benefits from a position on the floor plan that has been carefully chosen to maximize natural light. The stainless appliances pop attractively against neutral wall colors, black cabinets and a lightly tinged flooring.
The master bathroom has an almost minimal layout that is very chic. It does, however, ensure that all essentials are within easy reach, while maintaining a lux profile.
For a healthy workout, the apartment has an indoor lap pool.
Several of the assets of this living space are shared with the other residents of the building. One is the rooftop pool, which enables exercise in a setting that is equally jaw-dropping day or night.
Another perk of residency is access to a “motor court.” It’s basically a tony garage, but the building’s management company cites a useful advantage to the superrich: Owing to its restricted access, it is virtually paparazzi-proof.
Other perks shared by the residents of 443 Greenwich Street, New York, N.Y. include:
- Children’s playroom
- Fitness center
- Private fitness studios
- Temperature-controlled wine cellar
- Turkish bath
443 Greenwich Street, New York, N.Y., had an asking price of $43.8 million when it was listed in 2018. Its full details can be found at the Daily Mail.
