Tribeca's condominium inventory divides cleanly into two groups: large conversions and new towers with staff, amenity floors and doorman coverage, and small conversions of intact loft buildings that offer scale and light instead of service. 39 North Moore is firmly in the second group, and it is a good example of what that trade actually buys.
The building went up in 1908 as a store-and-loft structure to designs by William Emerson, with H. D. Bert Co. as builder, on a corner site that runs through from North Moore Street to Ericsson Place. LPC designation records describe it as neo-Renaissance, with a cast-iron base and terra-cotta trim — the commercial idiom of lower Manhattan at the turn of the century, executed at a modest six stories rather than the taller loft blocks a few streets north. Because it was built for manufacturing and warehousing, the floor plates are open and column-spanned, the windows are large, and the ceilings are high. Those are the physical properties buyers are paying for.
The residential history is the part the public record does not fully settle. The building had become residential by the time the condominium declaration was recorded in March 1993, and the first individual unit deeds followed a month later — but the date of the underlying residential conversion is not documented in the Department of Buildings records available online, whose electronic file for this building begins in 2000. That is worth naming rather than glossing: a buyer who wants to know when the residential certificate of occupancy was issued should pull the paper file or ask the managing agent, not rely on a listing description.
What the record does establish is that this is a genuine for-sale condominium with a long resale history. Individual residences have transferred to separate buyers steadily since 1993, with arm's-length resales recorded in most years of the past decade, including as recently as 2026. There is no sponsor overhang and no rental wrapper here.
Architecture and unit composition
The building holds twelve condominium unit lots — eleven residential and one commercial — across six floors, which produces two residences per floor through the residential stack. That is the defining fact of living here. There is no corridor traffic to speak of, the elevator opens with a key directly into the residences, and the common areas are minimal by design.
The floor plates are loft plates: roughly 27,900 square feet of residential area across the building, on a lot of about 4,700 square feet. That arithmetic gives residences with real width and depth rather than the narrow, deep layouts of a converted tenement or a new-construction interior lot. Large multi-pane windows on the North Moore and Ericsson Place elevations carry light deep into the plans, and corner residences pick up two exposures.
Two Department of Buildings filings are worth knowing about because they changed the building's composition. In 2008 the condominium filed to convert storage space into an additional loft dwelling — the resulting unit lot first traded as raw space that December and was resold as a finished residence four years later. In 2020, a filing separated apartments on the sixth floor. Anyone reconciling unit counts across sources should expect small discrepancies for exactly this reason.
Building operations
This is a self-service building. There is an elevator with key-locked access into the residences, video intercom entry, and a roof deck; there is no doorman, no concierge and no amenity program. Deliveries and package handling are the resident's problem, and the operating budget is correspondingly small — which is the point, and the reason common charges in a building of this type sit well below what a full-service Tribeca condominium carries.
The capital record is that of a well-maintained masonry building of its age. The condominium filed for emergency brick replacement on the north facade in 2001, and again in 2011 for masonry reconstruction and leak repairs, with a sidewalk shed and pipe scaffold erected for the work. Because the building sits in the Tribeca West Historic District, facade and window work runs through LPC review before DOB will sign off, which lengthens schedules and raises unit costs relative to an unlandmarked building.
With eleven residential owners, the denominator for any capital assessment is small. A buyer should read the current budget, the reserve position, and the most recent Local Law 11 cycle status before contract, and should ask specifically whether any facade or roof work is contemplated.
Policy framework
Ownership form: Condominium. Transfers close through a right of first refusal rather than a cooperative-style board approval, which normally produces a shorter and more predictable timeline than a Tribeca co-op.
Pets, subletting, pied-à-terre use and financing: Not documented in the records available for this page. No offering plan for 39 North Moore was located in the Compass Offering Plan Library or The Roebling Research Library, and the by-laws and house rules are not in the public record. Confirm each of these with the managing agent at offer stage rather than assuming the condominium default.
Landmark constraint: Any exterior alteration — windows, storefront, ironwork, rooftop equipment — requires LPC review, and material work requires a Certificate of Appropriateness. Buyers planning a window replacement or a rooftop addition should price the review process, not just the construction.
Real estate taxes: No abatement. Underwrite the full unabated bill on the specific unit lot.

39 North Moore trades as boutique Tribeca loft product: full-floor and half-floor residences in an intact prewar building, priced per square foot rather than per room, and compared most usefully against the other small North Moore and Hudson Street conversions rather than against the serviced towers on Greenwich and West Streets.
Two variables move value most inside the building. The first is exposure — corner residences with light on two elevations price differently from interior ones. The second is condition, since the residences were converted at different times and finished by different owners over a thirty-year ownership history; the spread between a gut-renovated loft and an original conversion in this building is wide. Buyers underwriting here should also weigh the absence of doorman service, which narrows the buyer pool on resale even as it holds monthly carrying costs down.
