The Grabler Building is a landmark in New York City completed in 1896 and converted to condominiums in 2001. Located in Tribeca, it offers full-service amenities and proximity to parks, shopping, dining, and transportation. Currently, 1 apartment is for sale.
The Grabler Building at 44 Laight Street is a seven story, 18 residence Tribeca condominium completed in 1896 and converted from commercial use in 2001. Clinton & Russell designed the Renaissance Revival structure for William J. Russell as a warehouse; it later housed the Grabler Manufacturing Company, a manufacturer of pipe fittings whose name remains on the building.
Its brick and cast iron façade is organized around arched windows, with painted signs reading “The Grabler Building” and “Pipe Fittings.” An original loading platform occupies much of the mid-block frontage, where the roadway and sidewalk retain their cobblestones. The building is in the Tribeca North Historic District, and in 2008 Community Board 1 voted 29 to 0 against a proposal to replace cobblestones along the frontage with concrete.
Many residences retain exposed brick, wood beams, cast iron columns and oversized arched windows, set within loft plans with high ceilings and broad living and dining spaces. Fireplaces recur in the main living areas, while several larger homes approach or exceed 4,000 square feet and occupy an entire floor. Penthouse residences open to private terraces of more than 1,400 square feet and have exposures in three directions.
The building has a 24 hour attended lobby, concierge service, video security, a rooftop terrace and 14 parking spaces. The mahogany and steel lobby was designed by Bill Massie. The address is on Laight Street between Hudson and Varick streets, with Hudson River Park and Piers 25 and 26 to the west.
