At One York Street, a brick warehouse dating back to before the Civil War was transformed into a modern 136,000-square-foot condominium complex. The building occupies a full city block, bound by Laight and York Streets, St. John's Lane, and Avenue of the Americas. Enrique Norton, a Mexican-born architect who served as one of the World Trade Center Memorial competition judges, was the man to lead its redesign.
Summary
The new structure features a 14-story glass tower and contains 40 loft units, 25 of them located within the original building. The development's first level houses a lobby and 9,000 square feet of high-end retail space, and the second level holds 14,000 square feet of office space. The remaining 12 levels are dedicated to condominiums, with units on the uppermost floors featuring wrap-around terraces or large balconies offering residents 360-degree views of the Manhattan skyline. Project construction began in 2006 and concluded in late 2008.
