Certificate of Appropriateness Testimony

HDC@LPC Testimony for March 4, 2025

CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS TESTIMONY

LPC-25-04653

74 Hudson Street – Tribeca West Historic District

CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS

A parking lot. Application is to construct a new building.

Applicant: DXA Sudio

HDC finds this proposal inappropriate in both scale and appearance. The new building is too small for its site and streetwall context, while its proposed window openings are too large in relation to the facade area. There seems to be an opportunity to build a substantial building here. We are interested to know why that hasn’t been pursued.

Action: approved.

CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS 

A Queen Anne style store and flats building, designed by James W. Cole and built in 1886-87. Application is to modify masonry openings and install storefront infill.

Architect: PKSB

HDC supports all of the proposed changes, except the removal of history masonry on Gansevoort Street.

Action: no action.
