100 Vandam Street, 13-A

Residence 13A is a three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home with approximately 2,590 square feet at 100 Vandam, the COOKFOX-designed adaptive reuse that raises a contemporary glass tower out of an 1888 brick warehouse, a former printing factory and electrical substation, in Hudson Square. The apartment takes a corner position on the thirteenth floor, where floor-to-ceiling windows on three exposures, north, west, and south, open the residence to light through the day and gather the downtown panorama from One World Trade Center across to the Hudson River. Three planted gardens sit just outside the apartment, two at the living and dining areas and one at the primary suite, framed by floor-to-ceiling glass and doors that open onto them. Designed by Terrain-NYC and set into the building's loggias, the gardens draw on the local ecosystem and turn with the seasons, offering an ornamental counterpoint to the skyline. Much like the rest of 100 Vandam, the foliage lends the home a dynamism rarely found in new construction. The great room opens onto a chef's kitchen by Poliform, with whitewashed elm cabinetry, Bleu de Savoie marble on the counters and backsplash, and a fully integrated appliance package by Gaggenau and Miele that includes a convection oven, steam oven, microwave, wine refrigerator, gas range, and dishwasher. The scale carries a dinner party as easily as a quiet evening, and the light moves gracefully through every room of the home all day. The primary suite occupies its own wing, with Hudson River and World Trade Center views, a generous walk-in closet, and a palatial marble bath with dual vanity, rain shower, and deep soaking tub. The two additional bedrooms each have ensuite baths and ample closets, and the three sleeping areas sit far enough apart that the layout flexes easily between primary use, guest use, and a dedicated work-from-home setup. A guest powder room, an in-unit Bosch washer and dryer, and multi-zone central air complete the home. 100 Vandam is a full-service, LEED Gold condominium with a 24-hour attended double-height lobby, a fitness center with dedicated yoga, Pilates, and boxing studios, a theater-quality screening room, resident lounges, a recreation room, and an oversized laundry room with additional storage. The building is pet friendly. It sits where Hudson Square intersects with SoHo and Tribeca, steps from the Hudson River Greenway, the 1, C, and E lines, and some of the most established and most popular restaurants downtown. A rare meeting of scale, light, and greenery, in one of the most quietly compelling enclaves of downtown Manhattan.
