United States Sugar Building

Built in 1853, the TriBeCa ten-story United States Sugar Building represents the 19th century legacy of New York City’s sugar industry.

The exterior of the building was restored and 34 residential units were created including penthouses on the roof. Many of the units are two-stories high.

An entirely new structural system was installed behind the facade to create split-level units.

The project was approved by the Landmarks Preservation Commission and the City Planning Commission.

The United States Sugar Building was completed in 2002.
