In a city where new buildings are going up on almost every block, some cannot resist the history and allure of living in a landmark. The latest chance to do so can be found at 175 Franklin Street, a former cheese factory and bottle cap company recently converted to five full-floor apartments. The six-story Romanesque Revival building went up in the late nineteenth century and was designed by Martin V.B. Ferdon, whose work can also be seen at The Shephard in the West Village and further uptown at 35 West 71st Street.

A private elevator leads to Floor #2, a two-bedroom, two-bath where historic details such as exposed brick, oversized windows, and 12’ ceilings remain intact. However, the homes have gotten a high-tech makeover that includes Nest thermostat controls in every room, Lutron Caseta wireless light control, motorized shades, USB outlets throughout, voice-activated home automation, and remote control front door access. The contemporary kitchen is outfitted with custom cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, and state-of-the-art appliances. Both bedrooms have custom walk-in closets and en-suite baths with radiant heated floors, Toto washlet, and Hastings vertical shower system.
The apartment's rent of $12,995/month is net effective following a concession, and more than twice the Tribeca median price of $5,295/month for two-bedrooms.

The neighborhood surrounding 175 Franklin Street perfectly reflects the building's marriage of historic significance and modern must-haves: While it is located on a quiet, cobble-stoned street, Tribeca’s hottest restaurants can be found in any direction. It is also one block away from the Franklin Street subway stop.
