Franklin Place

The building's façade is its signature — handmade basketweave brick with curved detailing and dark architectural metal, designed by ODA to echo the texture and craftsmanship of Tribeca's cast-iron loft buildings while remaining unmistakably contemporary. The 19-story massing relates in scale to its pre-war neighbors, and its position on a cobblestone street reinforces the neighborhood feel.

The 53 residences range from one-bedroom lofts to five-bedroom, double-height duplexes, with the homes drawing exceptional window height and depth and open views from the building's stature. Interiors carry the high-specification finish of quality new development, and the larger duplex and penthouse layouts are the building's showpieces. As architect-led new construction, the building delivers contemporary ceiling heights, modern systems, and a full amenity package built in from the start, including a rooftop deck with a pool.

Franklin Place runs as a full-service condominium with concierge and superintendent coverage, a fitness center, a rooftop deck with a pool, additional residents' amenities, and private storage. As a condominium, ownership is flexible — financing rules are condominium-standard, pied-à-terre and investment purchases are customary, and resale clears through a right-of-first-refusal rather than a co-op board admissions process. The building is pet-friendly.

With 53 condominium residences, Franklin Place turns over at a measured cadence — a handful of resale closings in an active year, with some homes trading off-market in the discreet manner common to high-end Tribeca. Pricing reflects the building's architectural pedigree, cobblestone-street location, and full-service condominium structure, with premiums for the higher floors, the duplex and double-height layouts, and the penthouses. Because the public sales record for this address is generated directly from the building's tax lot, the most current closed-sale history is best read from that live record; the durable pattern is design- and scale-driven demand from buyers who want architect-led new construction in Tribeca.

This is architect-driven new construction on one of Tribeca's most atmospheric streets. Ownership is flexible — condominium financing rules apply, pied-à-terre and investor purchases are customary, and there is no co-op board package or interview, only a right-of-first-refusal. The design and the cobblestone-street setting are the assets — an ODA building that converses with Tribeca's industrial heritage is distinctive, and that supports resale. The range of layouts is unusually wide, from one-bedroom lofts to double-height duplexes; evaluate each on scale, floor, and light. Because some homes trade off-market, working with a broker who knows the building's inventory matters. We help buyers read the offering plan, the common-charge structure, and the comparison set across the Tribeca condominium market.

Lead with the architecture and the street. An ODA-designed condominium on a Tribeca cobblestone street, with a handmade basketweave-brick façade and double-height layouts, is a distinctive offering that stands apart from generic new construction. Benchmark to the architect-led Tribeca condominium set, and present the home to showcase its ceiling height, light, and finish. The condominium structure is itself a selling point — a faster, more predictable closing and a wider buyer pool, including pied-à-terre and investment purchasers. Given Tribeca's discreet, often off-market dynamics, the right marketing strategy is essential; we manage that with the comparison set in hand.
