PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS
Tucked into one of Tribeca’s most iconic cobblestone blocks, 10 Harrison Street is a distinguished six-story elevator building that blends historic Neo-Grec elegance with scale and flexibility. Built in 1889 by renowned architect Thomas R. Jackson, the building features a three-bay wide painted brick façade, original cast-iron piers, two-over-two wood sash windows, and a continuous granite vault along the street level—details that speak to its architectural pedigree.
Each of the six full-floor layouts spans approximately 2,066 square feet, offering soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and uninterrupted flow. An additional 2,666 square feet of cellar space enhances the property’s functional potential for storage, wellness, or amenities. With flexible zoning and core infrastructure—including an oversized elevator servicing floors one through five—the building is ideally suited for residential, commercial, or mixed-use reinvention.
Offered for the first time in over 25 years, 10 Harrison Street presents a rare opportunity to reimagine a legacy asset—whether as a private residence, creative studio, gallery, boutique hotel, or flagship headquarters—within one of Manhattan’s most prestigious and architecturally rich neighborhoods.

tribeca’s legacy,
preserved in brick and iron.
Positioned near the Hudson Street end of the block, 10 Harrison Street stands as a striking example of late 19th-century architecture. Built in 1889 by the esteemed architect Thomas R. Jackson, the six-story structure echoes the design of nearby 12 Harrison Street—another commission from Jackson for W.H.B. Totten, a prominent Tribeca produce merchant. The building replaced two modest brick structures dating back to the mid-1800s, marking a shift toward the more industrial and commercial architecture that would come to define the neighborhood.
Over the decades, 10 Harrison evolved through a lineage of distinctive owners. After Totten, who was also a key figure in the Mercantile Exchange, the property was acquired in 1892 by butter merchant Shepard Rowland. It later housed D.W. Whitmore & Co., known for distributing butter and cheese, from 1915 to 1938. In 1964, Columbia Cheese Corporation took ownership, continuing the building’s deep ties to the city’s storied food trade. From produce to dairy, and now to potential reinvention, 10 Harrison has long served as a cornerstone of Tribeca’s commercial and architectural legacy.
