27 North Moore Street

The exterior reads as what it was: a robust masonry warehouse, its weight and rhythm intact, sitting comfortably among the cast-iron and brick survivors of Tribeca West. The conversion preserved the industrial bones rather than erasing them, so the residences carry the hallmarks buyers come downtown for — oversized windows, exposed structure where it was kept, generous ceiling heights, and the open spans that a refrigerated-warehouse frame makes possible.

The 57 residences are true lofts, ranging from one-bedroom layouts to large multi-bedroom homes and combinations, several configured as full- or half-floor spreads. Light comes from the building's deep windows and, on upper floors, from the open sky around it. Because the conversion worked within a landmarked envelope, the proportions feel original rather than engineered — the difference between a loft and an apartment dressed as one.

For a boutique loft building, The Ice House runs as a full-service condominium. Door staff attend the lobby and a live-in superintendent keeps the building in hand. The amenity set is unusually complete for the size: an on-site parking garage — a serious advantage in Tribeca, where parking is scarce and prized — a fitness room, and a landscaped roof deck outfitted with grilling and dining areas, a sun deck, and a children's play area, taking in open downtown and river-edge views.

As a condominium, the building offers the ownership latitude its structure implies: financing is flexible, pied-à-terre and investment ownership are customary, and subletting and resale clear through condominium mechanics rather than a co-op board's admissions process. Pet policy and any transfer-fee specifics follow the condominium's by-laws and house rules; we walk buyers through the current governing documents as part of any transaction.

Market read. Most recent trades (2025) cleared a median $2,493/sf across 1 sale. Median listing discount 4.3% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00190-7504) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.

The Ice House sells on authenticity plus service. Buyers should weigh the things that vary most across the building: ceiling height and window line by floor, whether a unit retains original loft volume or was reconfigured, and the relationship to the building's two anchor amenities — the garage and the roof deck. As a condominium, the purchase path is lighter than the surrounding co-ops: a right-of-first-refusal rather than a board interview, with financing latitude and pied-à-terre ownership both customary. We help buyers read the offering plan and by-laws, benchmark price per square foot against true loft comparables, and understand the common-charge and tax picture before bidding.

The pitch writes itself: a landmarked 1905 cold-storage warehouse, true loft proportions, full-service operation, and — rare for the neighborhood — an on-site garage, all in condominium form. Sellers do best by leaning into what cannot be replicated: the building's industrial provenance, the specific volume of the unit, and the flexibility a condominium offers buyers who don't want a co-op board. Pricing should be set against recent Tribeca West loft sales of similar floor and finish, not against generic downtown condo averages. With a limited number of units and infrequent turnover, a well-prepared listing benefits from genuine scarcity.
