The historic Potter Building is an elaborately detailed cast-iron, terra cotta and red brick structure built in 1886 across from City Hall, on what was once called Newspaper Row. It was designated a New York City landmark in 1996 and its immediate neighborhood has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2005. This well-run residential cooperative building is conveniently located on the northern border of the Financial District, adjacent to City Hall Park and Tribeca. Homeowners enjoy a beautifully landscaped roof terrace with panoramic views over an ornate terra cotta parapet, central laundry room, bicycle room, and storage lockers (fee). Neighborhood amenities include dining and shopping (French department store Printemps - opening Spring 2025); two nearby Whole Foods (Tribeca/FiDi), Oculus, Eataly, Brookfield Place, and the new Seaport with the magnificent Tin building.
