25 Bond Street CLOSE 
The building was developed by Goldman Properties, which is headed by Tony Goldman, who owns several prominent buildings in nearby SoHo as well as South Beach in Miami.
This building was designed by BKSK, which has designed several of TriBeCa’s most distinguished recent residential projects including the Hubert at 7 Hubert Street and the Duane Park Building at 166 Duane Street.
The building has only 9 apartments.
Bottom line
A stunning and very distinctive residential building with 89-foot-long entertaining spaces and four fireplaces per apartment on a fabulous cobblestone street.
Description
The top two floors are setback on Bond Street and are not faced with limestone, nor is the rear of the building, which overlooks its large rear garden.
The Bond Street façade looks like a stack of keyboards, or a reconstructed deconstructed Greek temple, formal and classic. Because of its asymmetrical fenestration pattern, it also conjures an abacus.
"The bold architectural design of 25 Bond Street," according to the architects, "reflects the changing composition of an historic New York City neighborhood. While the industrial strength language remains faithful to the character of the surrounding buildings, the asymmetrical layering of the facade signals a contemporary transformation of the language. The facade of the building employs two types of stone that crate a double layered screen wall of varying widths and irregular separations. The stone is in front of a bronze and glass wall with regularly spaced floor-to-ceiling sliding sections, which run the full width of the building. The degree of openness of the stone screen wall was carefully studied to be similar to the cast iron neighbors and the depth of the façade calibrated to the typical depth of the most distinctive buildings of the area. The facade was also detailed to enjoy the rich materials and craft at a close-in scale as evidenced by the bush hammered finish and pinwheel joining of the stone, the raw bronze finish of the window wall and the cast glass of the entry canopy. The rear of the building opens up to a tight urban block interior and then to another street by way of an alley. That accidental facade, viewed through the alley, was designed with the same themes and as a corollary to the more formal front. The intention of the design was to be muscular yet graceful and distinctive."
Mr. Goldman commissioned Ken Hiratsuka, a Japanese sculptor, Ken Hiratsuka, to create a work on the granite sidewalk in front of the building and to create a sculpture for the lobby.
Amenities
The building has two parking spaces per resident as well as a 24-hour concierge, a garden with community outdoor grilling, a caterer s kitchen service, individual lobby storage spaces, and direct elevator access.
It also has a rooftop deck, a business meeting room, a library, a health club, and a bicycle room.
Apartments have fireplaces, 10-foot-6-inch ceilings with 9-foot-6-inch sliding window walls, and simultaneous heating and cooling capabilities.
Apartments
The apartments feature enormous entertaining spaces: a media/office space is open to the living room that is open to a dining room in an 89-foot-wide space, much of which is 30-feet deep, with only three free-standing columns. At either end of this extraordinary space, which fronts on Bond Street, are fireplaces.
The entry is into a long private vestibule, at one end of which is a "mud room and laundry" and the other is a hall way leading to the entertaining spaces to the north and the four bedroomns, office, and family room/guest room. The master bedroom is 20-feet-4-inches by 23-feet-10-inches. The family room/guest room is 19-feet-5-inches by 18-feet-10 inches. Both these rooms have fireplaces and balconies.
The kitchen is 18-feet-by-15-feet-6-inches.
History
Tony Goldman bought the site from Tribeach Holdings, the developer of 129 Lafayette Street for $26 million. Tribeach had planned a building with 48 apartments.
Mr. Goldman initially planned a new building with 23 apartments but then changed it to 12 and then 9 apartments, including a triplex and a duplex, each with a private rooftop pool.
