The Tribeca neighborhood is famous for its lofty pre-war homes. It is, along with Soho, the neighborhood of former warehouses and manufacturing centers turned into luxury Manhattan condos. The Grabler Building on 44 Laight Street is one of these buildings: a former manufacturing building designed in the Renaissance Revival style. The Grabler Building is an aesthetically pre-war building, with a brick façade and large apartments, but it was converted into Tribeca condominiums in 2001, and now boasts modern luxurious furnishings as well as pre-war style.

Tribeca is home to a number of pre-war condominium conversions, but few pre-war condo listings in Tribeca -- and few pre-war condo listings in Manhattan, period -- match the unique combination of classic pre-war aesthetics and contemporary comfort on display at The Tribeca Five, at 283 West Broadway. While Tribeca Five's distinctive 19th-century facade is classic Tribeca, the five full-floor condominiums for sale within have been brought up to date with numerous 21st-century finishes and luxuries.

Trump SoHo, real estate mogul Donald Trump’s ultra-deluxe hotel condominium, screams high-end luxury like only the Trump brand can. This 46 story luxury soho condo on 246 Spring Street holds 391 units that range size from 422 to 905 square feet, with the exception of ten penthouses on the top three floors that are even larger. The glass façade towers over lower Manhattan, and the building affords views of the Empire State Building, Hudson River, and the Statue of Liberty.

The Sky Lofts on 145 Hudson Street live up to their name. Taking full advantage of their industrial heritage, the lofts in Sky Lofts have wide-open layouts and huge casement windows with open, picturesque views of Manhattan. Originally an industrial building built in the Art Deco style, Sky Lofts are converted luxury condominiums on the top 4 floors of that pre-war high-rise that have been fully-renovated with expertly-done finishes. These vast, light-filled lofts are unique finds, even in Tribeca, and very few luxury condos in Manhattan compare to these idyllic spaces.
