The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) has unanimously approved proposals for the renovation and expansion of 385 Greenwich Street, a four-story residential building in Manhattan’s Tribeca West Historic District. Designed by DXA Studio, the project will involve the construction of a contiguous one-story addition spanning the roof of the building and its conjoined neighbor at 71 North Moore Street. The structure will continue to yield multiple residential units and ground-floor commercial space. The property is located at the northeast corner of Greenwich and North Moore Streets.

The Federal-era building at 385 Greenwich Street was originally built as a two-story tenement in 1805, and the abutting three-story neighbor at 71 North Moore Street was built a decade later. The two structures were later conjoined. In their more than 200-year history, the buildings have undergone several transformations to serve various commercial and manufacturing purposes.

The project will add one story to 385 Greenwich Street and two floors atop 71 North Moore Street directly to the east. The addition will feature arched steel spans framing floor-to-ceiling windows, a design intended to evoke the spirit of Tribeca’s historic commercial infrastructure.

The restoration will also remove the buildings’ stucco cladding to reveal the original red brick. At street level, projected storefronts from the late 1800s will be restored, along with the cutaway corner commercial entry that was removed in the mid-1900s.
