Work is wrapping up on Fifteen Laight Street, a Class A office conversion and expansion in Tribeca.

The 115,000-square-foot building, which once served as the home of the Tribeca Film Festival, is located between Laight Street and the triangular-shaped Albert Capsouto Park to the north, Varick Street to the south, and the narrow St. Johns Lane to the east.
