Douglaston Development has obtained a zoning variance for a 7-seven-story new condominium apartment building at 475 Greenwich Street on a triangular block bounded by Canal and Watts Streets in TriBeCa.
The site is directly over the Holland Tunnel and has been occupied by low-rise buildings that once housed a ceramic tile company and a car audio store.
In discussions with the TriBeCa committee of Community Board 1 the developers agreed last summer not to lease any of the project's 8,000 square feet of retail space to nightclubs or bars.
Greenberg Farrow Architects are designing the building, a rendering of which has indicated that it will have many of its windows slightly angled, which will create visual interest.
The project will have 21 units.
Douglaston Development is currently building the 50-story residential tower at 325 Fifth Avenue and recently completed the handsome residential, two-building complex at 555 West 23rd Street.
