The Textile Building at 66 Leonard Street stands as one of TriBeCa's most distinguished residential conversions, originally designed in 1901 by Henry J. Hardenbergh, the renowned architect behind The Dakota and Plaza Hotel. This Beaux Arts landmark was thoughtfully converted from a commercial textile building to 46 luxury condominiums in 1999 by Chessed LLC, with Karl Fischer designing the conversion that added a penthouse floor. The building's façade features six Caduceus symbols and eight large cartouches, while the interior pays homage to its textile heritage with antique American textile displays and elevator doors embossed with weaving machine motifs.
Located in the TriBeCa East Historic District, this full-service boutique building offers an impressive array of amenities including a 24 hour doorman and concierge, a fitness center with steam room, and a residents' lounge with fireplace and full catering kitchen. The landscaped rooftop terrace features grilling areas and a children's play area with spectacular city views, complemented by a garden courtyard, bicycle room, and an on-site 50 car attended parking garage. The building maintains a pet friendly policy and provides private storage and package services with cold storage.
Apartments range from approximately 1,300 square feet to over 2,800 square feet, with some penthouses exceeding 7,000 square feet. Many units feature dramatic ceiling heights up to 22 feet in duplex layouts, original steel columns with exposed rivets, and wide-plank hardwood floors in Brazilian cherry, mahogany, or oak. Many apartments feature gas fireplaces, chef's kitchens with high end appliances from Sub-Zero, Thermador, and Miele, spa-like bathrooms with soaking tubs, walk-in closets, and individual climate control systems.
The building has attracted notable residents including celebrity chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, who sold his apartment in 2004 for $3.25 million to Japanese pop star Hiromi Go, and Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison. The prime TriBeCa location places residents steps from upscale dining destinations like The Odeon and Two Hands, Whole Foods, and multiple subway lines, making it one of downtown Manhattan's most coveted addresses.
