Located in the heart of Tribeca, 15 Hubert represents a moment of intimacy within one of New York's most vibrant and sought-after neighborhoods. Nestled on a quiet cobblestone street and with just twelve residences, this boutique new development affords residents the luxury of privacy.

The inspiration for the design of this loft begins with a commitment to retain the authenticity and openness of the original spaces. The interiors have been ingeniously designed by CetraRuddy Architects to preserve the building's industrial roots while adding a modern perspective and premium finishes.

To maintain the essence of classic loft living, 3C features over 11' ceilings, and an unfettered flow of open space with an expansive great room. Wide-plank solid oak flooring seamlessly unites the kitchen and living areas; and a stretch of white-painted brick divide the public and private areas of the loft.

The fixtures and materials selected for the interiors artfully echo the original aesthetic of the building. Bedroom and en-suite bathroom doors comprise of a refined, artistic architectural glass with a ribbed surface that reduces glare and obscures the shapes behind it.

Offset by a monolithic concrete partition, the kitchen features an ingeniously designed magnetic wall produced of rolled steel, and a custom-built Parsons-style table island with riveted, blackened steel legs that harken to the building's manufacturing-era past. Floor-to-ceiling rift-sawn white oak cabinetry, solid-slab marble countertops, and stainless steel appliances form a subtly artistic ensemble.

A custom-built vanity, a solid-slab Sugar White marble countertop, and dual integrated sinks are accented by a hand-cut marble mosaic accent wall in the master bathroom. Floor-to-ceiling Thassos White marble walls contrast with Savannah Grey marble flooring and bath surround.

The building's lobby is appointed with concrete paneled walls and wood paneled ceilings, and is attended by a part-time doorman, as well as equipped with a state-of-the-art package reception and retrieval system. 15 Hubert boasts a beautifully designed and landscaped communal rooftop lounge offering glimpses of the Hudson River, just one block west, as well as One World Trade Center.
