Tribeca Green
Foundations Group retained us to complete a multi-scope glazing and architectural metal upgrade at Tribeca Green, a luxury residential tower in the heart of Manhattan’s Battery Park City. Designed by renowned firm Robert A.M. Stern Architects, Tribeca Green stands as one of New York City’s pioneering sustainable residential developments. The building’s LEED Gold status, prime riverfront location, and architectural pedigree place it among the most respected high-rise communities in Lower Manhattan.
Working in a fully occupied building, we delivered a coordinated retrofit package including custom-fabricated insulated glass, thermally broken terrace doors, a full glass railing system, and architectural windscreen panels. Every system was fabricated to spec and installed with careful consideration to phasing, code compliance, and tenant impact, ensuring long-term durability and architectural alignment with the existing envelope.
We completed and delivered the full scope on schedule and to exact specifications. The result is a seamless upgrade that strengthens Tribeca Green’s performance profile while preserving the clean, sustainable aesthetic of the original design. From high-efficiency low-E glass replacements to custom aluminum railing solutions, each component reinforces the building’s position as a leading residential development in downtown Manhattan.
