39 Vestry Street is a 19th-century red-brick warehouse in North Tribeca, converted to loft condominiums around the turn of the millennium. The building traces to the era when this stretch of Tribeca was a working waterfront district, and it stands as one of a group of masonry warehouses built by a ship chandler on land leased from Trinity Church — the kind of industrial provenance that gives North Tribeca its character. Today it sits on a quiet, cobblestoned block within the Tribeca North Historic District, steps from the Hudson River Park waterfront.
What buyers respond to here is authentic loft space in a landmarked warehouse envelope. The residences carry the building's industrial bones — high beamed ceilings, exposed brick, wide-plank floors, and generous, open living and dining rooms with chef's kitchens and spa baths — the volume and light of a true warehouse conversion rather than the smaller-scaled feel of new construction. With only 16 residences, this is a boutique, low-density condominium on one of North Tribeca's most atmospheric blocks.
The building is for buyers who want genuine Tribeca loft living — the beams, the brick, the cobblestones, the waterfront proximity — with the flexibility of condominium ownership.
Architecture and unit composition
DaCunha's warehouse is a robust masonry building — red brick, heavy structure, the utilitarian dignity of 19th-century industrial Tribeca. The conversion around 2000 preserved that character while opening the floors into loft residences: high beamed ceilings, exposed brick, wide-plank floors, and large, open living and dining rooms anchored by open chef's kitchens and marble spa baths with steam showers.
With 16 units over the building's floors, the layouts are loft-scaled and individual rather than repetitive — the light, ceiling height, and proportion that only a genuine warehouse conversion delivers. The renovated elevator and lobby carry the industrial aesthetic into the common areas. This is a building where the architecture and the loft volume are the product.
Building operations
39 Vestry Street operates as a boutique condominium: virtual-doorman entry, a package/mail room, a part-time superintendent, and a renovated elevator and lobby, without the staffing of a large full-service tower. Because the building sits within the Tribeca North Historic District, visible exterior work is subject to Landmarks review, which protects the warehouse facade but adds process to any alteration. Common charges reflect a small building carrying a historic masonry envelope; buyers should model the full monthly carry and review reserves, the facade and elevator maintenance history, and any capital plans during due diligence, as is prudent for a warehouse conversion of this age.

Recent sales
As a condominium, 39 Vestry Street prices on a price-per-square-foot basis, with the residences that best express the loft volume — the beamed ceilings, the brick, the open plans — carrying the premium. Turnover is light for a 16-unit building; both resale and owner-rental activity occur, but it is an ownership condominium, not a rental building. Apartment-level context — floor, ceiling height, exposure, outdoor space where present, and condition — drives pricing far more than any building average, and the warehouse provenance supports value for homes that present the architecture well.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00219-7502) 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.
What to know if you’re buying
Loft volume is the asset. The beamed ceilings, exposed brick, and open plans are the reason to buy here; the scale and light carry the value.
This is a boutique warehouse condominium. Virtual doorman, mail room, and a part-time super for 16 residences — a sensible package for the size, but not a full-service tower.
Landmark status shapes exterior work. Visible facade changes require LPC review; the protection preserves the block, but it adds process to any exterior alteration.
Condo flexibility is real. Pied-à-terre, subletting, foreign buyers, and LLC/trust ownership are permitted under the declaration; closings run on condo timelines.
Mansion tax thresholds apply. At this building's pricing, the $1M, $2M, and higher cliffs can be in play. Run pricing through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
Variable board financial policy — confirm at offer stage. Financing percentages and any sublet terms specific to your situation should be confirmed in writing before you commit.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the loft and the block. The beamed, brick-walled warehouse interiors and the cobblestoned North Tribeca setting near the waterfront are the differentiators.
Present the volume and light. In a warehouse loft, photography and staging that read the ceiling height and the open plan support price.
Comp at the apartment level. With 16 heterogeneous lofts, floor, ceiling height, exposure, and condition move the number more than any neighborhood average.
