Located in the heart of Tribeca, 71 Franklin Street is a majestic limestone landmark that presents a unique opportunity for customization and luxury living. With plans designed by esteemed architect Wayne Turett, the building can be transformed into a sprawling 52-foot wide mega-residence featuring over 20,000 square feet of living space. The proposed design includes seven bedrooms, exceptional entertaining areas, a swimming pool, and a rooftop terrace offering stunning views, making it a prime candidate for those seeking a bespoke urban retreat.
The property is currently configured as an eight-unit cooperative, with seven of the eight units available for purchase, providing a controlling interest in the corporation. Originally built in 1901, the building boasts high ceilings, exquisite architectural details, and many working fireplaces, all contributing to its historic charm. The surrounding area is known for its beautiful townhouse blocks and proximity to notable architectural works, including Shigeru Ban's Cast Iron House.
For those interested in immediate occupancy, there are listings for short-term walk-up apartments that feature dramatic interiors, including a Great Room with 16-foot tin ceilings and oversized windows. These units are designed with modern amenities such as a chef's kitchen, luxurious bathrooms, and custom woodwork throughout, appealing to both residents and investors alike.
