Overview of The Zinc Building at 475 Greenwich Street

The Zinc Building is a 7 story, 21 unit boutique condominium at 475 Greenwich Street, completed in 2008 by Douglaston Development and designed by Greenberg Farrow Architects. Occupying a triangular site directly over the Holland Tunnel, the building is one of the few freestanding new developments in Manhattan. Its modern glass façade features slightly angled windows along a quiet cobblestone street at the intersection of TriBeCa, Hudson Square, and SoHo. The developers agreed with Community Board 1 not to lease any of the building's 8,000 square feet of retail space to nightclubs or bars.

Apartments range from approximately 1,500 to 3,000 square feet and share several signature features: soaring 10 to 11 foot ceilings, expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, and Brazilian wenge wood floors. Open chef's kitchens are outfitted with Sub-Zero and Miele appliances, poured concrete countertops, and Italian white oak cabinetry. Most units include in-unit washer/dryers, central air conditioning, and generous custom closet space. Primary suites typically feature large walk-in closets and windowed spa bathrooms with Italian marble and porcelain tile, double vanities, deep soaking Jacuzzi tubs, and glass enclosed rain showers. The duplex penthouses are particularly notable, with wood burning fireplaces, wraparound terraces of approximately 770 square feet, and private rooftop terraces spanning 981 square feet with panoramic city and Hudson River views.

The building offers full service amenities including a 24 hour doorman, porter and superintendent services, a fitness center, bike storage, and refrigerated storage for grocery deliveries. The building is pet friendly and provides private storage for residents. Located just one block from Hudson River Park and within the P.S. 234 school district, the building offers convenient access to multiple subway lines including the 1/2/3, A/C/E, N/Q/R, and 4/5/6 trains, placing residents at the center of downtown Manhattan's dining, shopping, and cultural offerings.

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "modern glass edifice" offers "loft-like spaces" with "floor-to-ceiling windows" throughout. While the lobby is "intimate in scale," the "friendly staff" provides a "welcoming atmosphere" that makes up for the modest entrance. The building presents a "contemporary aesthetic" in its neighborhood setting.
