Terminal Warehouse
COOKFOX Architects · Chelsea · 2025
Southwest corner from 12th Avenue.
Facade work is wrapping up at L&L Holding Company and Columbia Property Trust’s renovation of the Terminal Warehouse in West Chelsea. The structure was originally designed by George Mallory and constructed in 1891 by the Terminal Warehouse Company. COOKFOX Architects are overseeing the design of the renovation, which includes restoring the original building and the addition of a 6-story steel and glass structure and approximately 100,000 gross square feet of green space. A freight tunnel that runs the length of the 700 foot structure will serve as an interior street with the original steel inlaid tracks serving as the street connecting access to office amenities, retail space, and a central courtyard. At completion, the groundscraper will offer 1.3 million square feet with floor plates up to 160,000 square feet in size and 29 private terraces.

Construction Update: 100 Vandam
Northwest corner from Greenwich Street.
Construction scaffolding is coming down at 100 Vandam, revealing the COOKFOX designed tower facade. The site at the corner of Vandam Street and Greenwich Street was once home to a coal power plant, whose masonry facade is being integrated into the residential conversion. A new tower has been constructed atop the 6-story existing building, bringing the total height of the project to 25-stories and 350 feet. Design of the tower facade includes panels at each slab edge that provide solar shading, balcony railings with custom designed patterns that are also present on the glass spandrel panels, and slab depressions throughout the tower perimeter for loggia gardens by Terrain NYC.
When completed, the Jeff Greene developed project will offer 70 residential condo units and 2,500 square feet of ground floor commercial space.
