The north edge of the large square around the Manhattan exit of the Holland Tunnel, one block south of Canal Street in TriBeCa, is nearing the completion of its conversion from commercial to residential uses.
The red-brick, 6-story, mid-block building at 32 Laight Street has submitted an offering plan to the NYS Attorney General's office to convert the building to 6 condominium apartments. It was built in 1909 and designed by John Wooley.
This cobblestone street between Hudson and Varick Streets has several handsome projects. This building is two doors east of the Graebler Building at No. 44, which has attractive shutters, and it is also just to west of the impressive Cobblestone Lofts at No. 28. At the corner at Hudson Street, 48 Laight Street is a new building now nearing completion that has a very white facade with a bright yellow penthouse.
The south and west sides of the large and nicely-landscaped traffic square also have numerous fine conversion projects.
