Potential New Condo
A resident of 90 Franklin Street, Brandon Miller, plans to erect a new luxury condo at 137 Franklin on the corner of Varick Street across from Finn Square. The land was formerly used as a restaurant-site that was torn down and was meant to be replaced with a condo which never happened.
Miller plans to build 3 apartments, and use one for himself and to sell the other two units. The empty plot of land is located in Tribeca’s West Historic District, so Miller has to wait for the LPC and CB1’s to give him the go ahead.
Miller has collaborated with Studio MDA to create a building typical of former warehouse buildings in Tribeca. The condo will be constructed of dark red brick, steel, and dramatic arches – a modern look while retaining the traditional architecture of the neighborhood.
