The Lofts at Greene Street
Sciame was the Construction Manager responsible for the construction and renovation of the Lofts at Greene Street. The project involved the demolition of an existing two story building and the construction of a seven story building comprising 15 luxury loft style apartments and ground floor retail spaces. The building is located in the heart of the historic Soho neighborhood of Manhattan.
The building structure is masonry block and precast concrete plank construction. Use is also made of the existing adjacent part walls to support the precast planks. The interior of the apartments feature exposed brick walls, wood flooring, gas fireplaces in the loft style living areas, stone tile bathrooms, walk-in closets, custom-made Italian kitchens, and state-of-the-art appliances, fixtures, and electronics. Features include central heating and air-conditioning and direct elevator access.
The facade, which replicates traditional turn-of-the-century cast iron construction, blends with the existing Soho streetscape. The duplex penthouse apartments, which are set back form the street, have roof terraces suitable for luxury outdoor living and have extensive views of the New York skyline.
The New Victory Theater – Originally built in 1900 as The Republic, the first performing arts venue on 42nd Street, the theater was transformed into The New Victory in 1995, becoming New York’s first theater for children and families. The renovation uncovered and restored original architectural elements, added a new lobby carved from the existing structure and bedrock, rebuilt the historic staircase, and created space for much-needed restrooms. A rear wing was added for backstage access, dressing rooms, workshops, and a loading dock, while new elevators and rooftop HVAC systems were integrated to meet modern needs of the historic theater.
We’re turning 50! As we count down to Sciame’s 50th anniversary on June 13th, we’re celebrating the moments that shaped us. For the next 50 days, we’ll be sharing one standout project a day in our “Countdown to 50”.
Thank you to our amazing clients, team, and friends! We wouldn’t be here without you.
Sciame is honored to have served as the construction manager for the expansion and refurbishment of The Frick Collection, working alongside Selldorf Architects and Beyer Blinder Belle to bring this vision to life.
