Originally built in 1881, the building is a development of Knightsbridge Properties Corp., a Tribeca-based real estate company committed to design-led redevelopment of historic and landmarked buildings in New York, Berlin, and London.

Two glass penthouses float atop the cast iron building through use of a steel cantilevered Vierendeel truss system. A series of telescoping walls on the main living level open to create a seamless transition from the interiors to the private outdoor terraces.

In the newly completed model residence by Manhattan-based designer Brad Ford, the light-filled, double-height corner living room boasts 25-foot ceilings, with double-hung windows and striking views of the cast iron façade of the building.
The kitchen, which opens to the great room is outfitted with Gaggenau appliances and features Dornbracht fixtures, a Bianco Dolomiti marble island, and slab countertops.
