When one massive Tribeca penthouse proves too big to move, the solution, apparently, is to cut it in half. The crown-jewel duplex at One Hundred Barclay has been split into two fully finished residences, turning roughly 14,500 square feet of raw, museum-style space into a pair of turnkey homes, each with its own chef’s kitchen and room to entertain a crowd.
According to the New York Post, the new setup carves out a southern duplex of about 7,062 square feet asking $25.95 million and a northern residence of just over 8,300 square feet that is expected to list at $32.95 million. The paper reports those asks work out to roughly $3,600 per square foot for the south home and just under $4,000 per square foot for the north.
How The Split Was Logged
Paperwork filed with the state shows the change was not just a matter of moving walls around. The owners had to formally revise the condominium’s legal documents. The New York Attorney General lists an amendment filed last year that updates the penthouse description and swaps in new floor plans to reflect combined and reconfigured units.
Building Past And Perks
The tower itself has a long and expensive history. Designed by architect Ralph Walker, the building underwent repairs and restoration after the September 11 attacks in a program commonly cited at about $1.4 billion, with the upper floors later converted to condominiums. CityRealty notes that the conversion promotes more than 40,000 square feet of amenities, including an 82-foot lap pool, spa treatment rooms, a fitness center, a wine room and several lounges.
Design And The Sales Pitch
Corcoran's marketing credits designer Paris Forino with the interiors for the finished residences. The materials show each home fitted out with multi-zone climate control, air purification systems, a primary chef's kitchen and a separate catering kitchen. Brokers are pitching the two units as ready-to-go options for buyers who want sprawling square footage without committing to an extensive custom buildout.
Agents told the Post the reconfiguration came after the space lingered on the market for years. In an interview quoted by the paper, Tara King-Brown said the penthouse "was never fully finished," a comment that brokers say helped spur the overhaul. As reported by the New York Post, the new pricing is aimed at being competitive on a price-per-square-foot basis, with agents noting that aside from resales the rest of the building is fully sold out.
