Design-Build Firm Tribeca
Renovating in Tribeca offers immense opportunity for those looking to add their own imprint into one of NYC’s most architecturally sound neighborhoods. However, with rich history and more bang for your building, overhauling a home in Tribeca doesn’t come without heightened regulations. With its cast-iron facades, exposed-beam lofts, and industrial-to-residential conversions, Tribeca requires a renovation approach built on precision and respect for architectural legacy. That’s where a full-service design-build firm like Gallery is essential.
Design-Build Contractors Trusted Across Tribeca
Unlike traditional renovations that divide design, architecture, and construction across separate teams, our design-build approach centralizes every aspect of your renovation under one roof. This model is especially valuable in Tribeca, where unique building types and regulations require both technical precision and a strong understanding of local legalities. Whether you’re a longtime loft resident, about to purchase within a cast-iron building, or a new homeowner aiming to combine industrial charm with luxury living, Gallery delivers the expertise needed to bring your vision to life.

The Tribeca Design-Build Advantage
One surefire way to counter Tribeca’s architectural complexity is with a coordinated, expert-led process. With our design-build renovation process, you get a single-source partner accountable for every step of your project, from architectural drawings and Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) filings to construction, finishes, and final inspection.

Co-Op Loft Renovation In Tribeca | 335 Greenwich St
At this full-scale Tribeca gut renovation, we reimagined the apartment’s layout—transforming a two-bedroom into a more functional three-bedroom home with 1.5 added baths and reconfigured living areas.

Loft Renovation In Tribeca | 9 Murray St
For this Tribeca loft, we completed a full kitchen renovation and two distinct bathrooms. One bath makes a bold New York–inspired statement with a custom subway-green vanity, while the second leans classic with checkerboard floors and subway tile.

For this kitchen renovation in Tribeca’s exclusive Sky Lofts building, we modernized the space while honoring its dramatic scale and architectural features.
