108 Leonard

Agency: Jeffrey Beers International
Client: Elad Group

108 Leonard is an elegant, landmarked condominium conversion located in Tribeca. Originally constructed in 1894, the McKim, Mead & White architectural masterpiece houses more than 150 condominium residences within the Italian Renaissance Revival-style exterior, which was meticulously restored to its original glory. The ornamental majesty offers dramatic details of scale, proportion and volume paired with contemporary design by award-winning hospitality design firm Jeffrey Beers International.

Elad Group, one of the nation’s leading real estate companies, is managing the thoughtful residential transformation of the property, while Douglas Elliman Development Marketing is exclusively leading sales and marketing. World-renowned SLCE Architects was enlisted as the architect of record for the beloved landmark, which pays homage to a gilded bygone era. 108 Leonard is in the vibrant Tribeca neighborhood, sought-after for its historic architecture that has come to define Downtown with lofty buildings that reflect its heritage. Entrances Residents enjoy an exceptional arrival through one of the building’s three limestone entrances that feature opulent architectural details, many of which are landmarked such as the marble pillars, double staircase and landmarked chandelier that adorn the magnificent Leonard Street lobby. Homeowners may also enter through the building’s private, covered motor reception, clad in Belgian block flooring and ivory quarry pavers with valet attendant. We created three towers, each with its own lobby, doormen, and elevators, to create a more intimate building feel Each lobby is a celebration of stone and historic classic details. Simultaneously, we placed modern insertions like the concierge desk and the illuminated cast glass rear panels. Amenities A bevy of hidden retreats spanning over 20,000 square feet, 108 Leonard’s amenities provide a private escape in Tribeca. A sprawling Entertainment Suite boasts a demonstration kitchen outfitted with Miele appliances and seating for eight, which opens to a dining area and finely crafted lounge with multiple seating groupings. The space also has a glass-walled private dining room with adjoining wine cellar, billiards room with wet bar, and screening room. Wellness The Wellness Suite will feature a fitness center, 75-foot lap pool, hot tub, steam shower and sauna. Rooftop A destination in its own right, the rooftop sundeck will offer a serene water feature with reflecting pool, al fresco kitchen with barbecue, dining and lounge suites with gas fireplaces, and private landscaped gardens. Apartment Units On the inside, Jeffrey Beers International has designed a bright canvas of modern restraint, ready to adapt to homeowners’ individual lifestyles. Soaring ceiling heights ranging from approximately 10 feet to more than 14 feet, architectural windows and five-inch wide oak floors bring authentic European glamour to organically flowing layouts. Gallery walls awash in lighting tucked behind recessed coves will offer illuminated spaces for burgeoning art collectors. In a nod to this distinguished Italian Renaissance building and its Parisian counterparts, Jeffrey Beers International’s design juxtaposes classic details— oversized moldings and chevron-patterned oak floors —with contemporary touches. These elegant residences, priced from $1,535,000 to over $20 million, range in size from one- to four-bedrooms.
