The great room is both dramatic and inviting, anchored by a luminous eat-in kitchen. Here, an oversized Madreperola quartzite island doubles as a gathering place, with wine refrigeration, deep-paneled refrigeration, and a vented gas range making entertaining effortless. Every element has been considered, from the scale of the space to the finishes that turn everyday living into quiet luxury.
The primary suite is a sanctuary, its double exposures welcoming the morning sun and the glow of twilight. Three custom-fitted closets provide rare and thoughtful storage, while the windowed, five-piece bath offers indulgence in every detail: a double vanity, soaking tub, enclosed shower, and separate water closet. The second bedroom, with its own ensuite bath, frames uptown views and the Brooklyn Bridge, giving guests or family members their own perspective of the city.
At The Beekman Residences, designed by Thomas Juul-Hansen, service is elevated to an art form. From a 24-hour concierge and in-room dining courtesy of Tom Colicchio's Temple Court and Keith McNally's Augustine, to access to spa, gym, lounge, and a landscaped roof terrace, every comfort is within reach. And just outside your door lies the beating heart of the new Downtown, where Tribeca, SoHo, the Seaport, and the Financial District converge. This is more than a home-it is a narrative of New York at its most vital.
Quick Profile
The Seaport District sits between the Financial District to the south and the Brooklyn Bridge to the north. The original Seaport designation was limited to the streets east of Water Street from Fletcher Street to Dover Street and incorporated the actual Seaport and the piers. But no more. Today, the neighborhood boundaries have expanded westward toward Park Row and include a surge of new developments in the area around Pace University and City Hall Park.
This is not your father’s Seaport. It is no longer a commercial hub and the seafood industry, which operated out of the port for nearly two hundred years, has been displaced. The older low-rise buildings that line these cobblestoned streets have been repositioned, the SouthBridge towers complex to the east of Water Street has gone free market, multiple commercial buildings have been converted to residential usage and new gleaming residential towers are rising on the site of the iconic J&R Music World which once lined the east side of Park Row.
Still, the Seaport is a small neighborhood, particularly quaint just north of Beekman Street. The streets are dominated by century-old warehouses and maritime buildings which gives the neighborhood its overt character. The Brooklyn Bridge, on its northern edge, looms in the backdrop.
