Project Description

Located in the heart of Tribeca in lower Manhattan, the 143 Franklin Street project revitalizes a long-vacant, 1890s industrial loft into a seven-story, 43,882 square foot carbon-neutral residential and cultural hub. Once part of Manhattan’s manufacturing legacy, the building will be reimagined for the 21st century as five spacious, family-oriented lofts and a public-facing art gallery returning a dormant structure to active, community-serving use. Pursing LEED certification, the adaptive reuse project will be designed with a passive first approach with a combination of state-of-the-art, all-electric mechanical systems including air source heat pumps and energy recovery ventilators and a high-performance building envelope to ensure year-round comfort and favorable operational costs. Rigorous energy modeling confirms energy use intensity (EUI) performance well below local benchmarks. Led by CNY Group (opens in new window) and a deeply experienced team of sustainability-focused engineers and designers, the project demonstrates how climate-resilient design, historic preservation, astute real estate planning and cultural vitality can converge, providing a powerful model for sustainable reuse in one of the nation’s densest urban environments.

The Building Cleaner Communities Competition

The Building Cleaner Communities Competition supports regionally significant, zero emissions and resilient new construction and existing building renovation projects across New York State. Building Cleaner Communities projects demonstrate how they will help achieve the goals of the New York State Regional Economic Development Council’s Strategic Plan (opens in new window) or other State priorities, while creating resilient and functional spaces that are healthy, safe, comfortable.
