The Sugar Loaf Building is an 1882 warehouse conversion at 155 Franklin Street in Tribeca. Designed in the Neo Grec style by George W. DaCunha, the six story structure was renovated by Franklin Baylies in 1902 and converted into a 10 unit condominium in 1996 by Christopher Clark.
The red brick façade has horizontal stone banding, star shaped tie backs, green trim and a prominent cornice. Many apartments retain the warehouse structure in exposed brick, cast iron columns, timber beams, high ceilings and oversized windows, while broad open living areas and wood burning fireplaces recur in several layouts. At the top, adjoining penthouse duplexes open to wraparound roof terraces.
The small scale condominium is generally arranged with two residences per floor. Building services include a superintendent, resident storage and a video intercom. Notable residents have included Taylor Swift, Peter Jackson, Orlando Bloom, Steven Soderbergh, Sir Ian McKellen, Aziz Ansari and Ryan McDonagh.
The building occupies a cobblestoned block in the Tribeca West Historic District, between Hudson and Varick Streets. Hudson River Park is about a ten minute walk west, while the Franklin Street station for the 1 train is at Varick Street, at the eastern end of the block.
