The Saranac, 95 Worth Street: Review and Ratings

Review of 95 Worth Street by Carter Horsley

This attractive, 16-story building was erected in 2000 by Manhattan Skyline Management in the manner of some of the city's better pre-World War II apartment buildings. It has nice proportions, good façade modulation and a handsome roofline with corner pylons and central pavilions.

It is located at 95 Worth Street and is known as the Saranac, named after a town in the Adirondack Mountains and in keeping with that theme its lobby has a wood-beamed ceiling and a large, stone fireplace, imported Pietri di Bedonia blue stone floors and wrought-iron light fixtures.

The rent-stabilized building has a large roof deck, a 24-hour doorman, a fitness room with adjacent visible laundry room and outdoor recreation area on the second floor, a 24-hour attended garage, and state-of-the-art wiring.

Apartments have 9-foot ceilings, Shaker-style golden birch kitchen cabinetry and Chiandone granite island dining counters and individually controlled air-conditioning in living rooms and bedrooms.

Apartments on the 14th and 15th floors have fireplaces and washer/dryer units and Arena Bianca marble baths. There are two penthouses that have 11-foot-four-inch ceilings, bay windows, large terraces, skylights in large entrance foyers and private elevator lockouts as well as fireplaces and washer/dryers.

The building is convenient to the many restaurants in TriBeCa and is close to the Financial District and City Hall. The neighborhood has good public transportation and a wide variety of shopping.

The building was developed by Donald Zucker and is also known as 336 Broadway and 19 Catherine Lane. It was designed by Stephen B. Jacobs and has 147 rental apartments.
