70 Vestry

70 Vestry provides 46 condominium apartments in a 14-story building that extends the architectural character of Tribeca to the Hudson River. The building is clad in Beaumaniere limestone, selected for its subtle patterning and warm pink glow. Expansive windows open residences to views of the Hudson River, while metalwork and pilasters break down the facades into bays that recall the scale of Tribeca's cast-iron structures and their machine-age interpretation of Renaissance Revival forms. 

Situated on a full block waterfront site, the building draws upon two important influences: the industrial architecture of Tribeca and the Hudson River itself. The design carries the robust scale and character of the neighborhood's historic buildings to the riverfront, where the limestone façade and expansive windows respond to the building's prominent waterfront setting. 

To meet the expectations for a building at the top of New York's residential market, 70 Vestry looks to the distinguished early 20th-century apartment house precedents from Fifth Avenue to Europe. As at some of the best Upper West Side buildings, a private driveway leads to a mid-block motor court. A gated porte-cochère provides access to a light-flooded double-height lobby and a suite of amenity spaces, including a children's playroom and a lounge for parties. 

A skylit pool and other health facilities are located below the motor court, which provides access to the building's automated parking system. The building steps back above the seventh floor to provide terraces to upper-floor residences, rising to a distinctive profile on the skyline.
