Tribeca Summit

 condominium, 1912_construction

8-story residential building completed as a warehouse in 1912, with the north half designed by Charles B. Meyers, and the south half a year later by Victor Bark, replicating Meyers's design, which incorporates Neo-Renaissance elements at the base and upper floors. The steel-framed structure has exterior walls of limestone and limestone-banded brick at the 2-story base and gray brick at the upper stories. The top floor, with brick panels above pairs of short windows, is set off as an attic story by a cornice band above the 7th floor, from which elongated, flattened brackets extend; a wide, grey-green sheet-metal cornice with large modillions terminates the facades.

The openings at the base are segmental-arched loading bays with individual interior loading platforms and, along Greenwich Street, individual retractable awnings. Each bay is numbered to the left of the keystone; some have been sealed. The pedestrian entrance to the building is now in the northern bay of the southern half of the building.

The warehouse was one of three truck terminals in Manhattan used by the Erie Railroad for the transfer of smaller shipments to and from its Jersey City freight terminal; Erie Railroad signage appeared on the building through the 1940s. It remained in warehouse usage into the '90s, occupied by the Summit Import Corporation. In 2010, a renovation design by H. Thomas O'Hara transformed the Summit Warehouse into 65 large-scale loft condominiums, known as Tribeca Summit. The ground floor is partially occupied by Juice Press, and Flywheel stadium cycling.
