Renovation work is progressing steadily on 450 Washington, a 12-story residential building at 450 Washington Street on the Hudson River waterfront in Tribeca. Designed by Roger Ferris + Partners and developed by Related Companies, the project involves the replacement of the structure’s windows, extensive interior refurbishments, and conversion of the former rental units into 176 condominiums. Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group is handling sales and marketing for units ranging from studios to four-bedroom homes, with pricing ranging from around $1 million to $10 million. Hollander Design is the landscape architect for the property, which occupies a full block parcel bound by Watts Street to the north, Desbrosses Street to the south, Washington Street to the east, and West Street to the west.
The below photo shows the state of the building before work began, followed by recent shots of the renovation work. The gray concrete surfaces have been coated with a warm French limestone plaster, brightening the overall appearance of the structure, and most of the new windows are now in place.

Many of the homes will come with balconies that provide unobstructed sunsets and views of Hudson River Park across West Street. Among the tree-lined sidewalks surrounding the property is the stone-paved Desbrosses Street.

450 Washington’s amenities will include a sprawling rooftop deck and a revamped private motor courtyard. The property is located just across West Street from Hudson River Park, and within the vicinity of a number of fine restaurants and art galleries. The nearest subways are the 1, A, C, and E trains at the two Canal Street stations to the east along Varick Street and Sixth Avenue.
Sales are slated to commence this fall, as noted on the banners hanging from the building.

I’m curious about the story behind this. The building is being completely redone, but it is only 13 years old. What went wrong?
They realized the quality of the building was much lower than what the location called for. Cosmetic renovation = higher real estate values.
