On the corner of Canal Street, 219 Hudson Street is a prime example of how suddenly a neighborhood can leap to prominence. In 2013, European footballers Zinedine Zidani, Christian Vieri, Paolo Maldini, and Andriy Shevchenko purchased the site, which is practically on top of the Holland Tunnel, for $2.5 million with plans to build a 56-key hotel to be designed by Rawlings Architects. But only two years later, Brooklyn-based developer Joel Braver bought the site for $13.2 million and made new plans. More recently, construction has begun on the 10-story, 14-unit mixed-use building now planned.

According to permits filed with the city, Rawlings Architect remains the architect of record. The ground floor will house nearly 2,000 square feet of retail space, a community facility, and a residential lobby. There will be no more than two units per floor on top, and select upper-level apartments will have private balconies. An average size of over 1,500 square feet indicates a new condominium. Residential amenities will include a bike room, storage space, a lounge, and outdoor terraces on the third, sixth, and eighth floors.

With its address right where Soho meets Tribeca, 219 Hudson Street is rising in the throes of Hudson Square's building boom. The site is just up the street from Renzo Piano’s 565 Broome Soho, where current availabilities start at $2.3 million. At the neighboring 570 Broome Street, listings start at $1.5 million. On the rental side, construction topped out nearby on a towering new building at 111 Varick Street over the summer.
