Craziest Rendering of 2008 Becomes Least Crazy of 2011

Paging 2008. 2008, do you copy? We'd like 5 Franklin Place back, please. Dutch architect Ben van Berkel's black and bendy vision was our favorite crazy rendering of 2008, and with good reason. But the building never rose above two stories thanks to mortgage issues, and after several twists and turns, Israeli firm Fishman Holdings picked up the property in September. They planned for luxury condos, and The Real Deal gets the first peek at the new design. Details: there will be 19 stories and 58 units—no word on pricing yet—with construction to start in the first quarter of 2012. It appears the new Richard DeMarco design forgot the fun. Sadface.

19-story condo planned for 5 Franklin Place

By Katherine Clarke

Israeli-based property investment firm Fishman Holdings closed on a development site at 5 Franklin Place in Tribeca last week, after successfully bidding for the property at a foreclosure auction in September, and has released some details, including a rendering, of its plans for the site exclusively to The Real Deal.

The firm is planning a 19-story, 58-unit condominium, Yehuda Mor, executive vice president of Fishman, told The Real Deal. Construction on the new development will begin in the first quarter of 2012. Mor declined to comment on the size or price of the units or on who would be marketing the building, saying it was premature.

"We think the time is right to enter the Tribeca housing market," he said.
