57 Reade Street is situated in a transitioning area of Lower Manhattan, bordering the Tribeca historic district and facing the Department of Buildings. The vicinity is mainly characterized by office buildings from the 1950s onwards. The building's intricate design results from its interaction with two distinct zoning districts, allowing it to rise to 20 stories along Broadway. Covering 142,000 square feet, 57 Reade Street features 84 condominiums, two levels of above-ground retail space, two retail basements, and a range of amenities suitable for its relatively compact size. Embracing the pioneering spirit of a residential development in this dynamic part of Manhattan, the exterior of the building mirrors its surroundings, incorporating ample glass windows to maximize light and views for its residents.
