A Softer Side of Tribeca
Since its construction in the late 19th century, 108 Leonard has brought a classic grace to the streets of Tribeca.
Now lovingly restored by Howard L. Zimmerman Architects and Beyer Blinder Belle, the building still emanates its former splendour. A white Tuckahoe marble facade reflects the city’s light, while an ornate clock tower, sitting above the 12th story, gives a sense of timelessness.

From a light-flooded expansive living space, slip through to an opulent kitchen in palettes of either ash or sand. Here, wide marble countertops and top-of-the-range appliances make entertaining or everyday life easy and elevated.
To unwind, step into the most striking of bathrooms, where a Calacatta black feature wall rises behind a spacious bathtub, inviting you to sink in. These spaces bring spa-quality tranquility to your daily routine.
With a selection of one- to four-bedroom residences, each home offers a bright canvas ready to be shaped around your way of living.

Here, the building’s renowned Renaissance elegance truly comes to the fore, as Greek key motifs, ionic pilasters, and bronze centrepieces reflect the grandeur of great classical tradition.
For a more discreet arrival, there’s the option of two other limestone entrances or the building’s private, covered motor reception, clad in Belgian block flooring and ivory quarry pavers with a valet attendant.
