40 Bleecker is Ryan Korban's residential debut — and it reads exactly as that. Korban, whose commercial work established him as the preeminent designer for fashion-forward luxury retail, brought his material intelligence to 61 residences in a 12-story NoHo building.
The Listone Giordano chevron French oak floors — sourced from recycled wine barrels — are the building's material signature. Italian cerused oak cabinetry with fluted bronze glass panels. Honed statuary marble kitchen islands (cantilevered or waterfall style). Book-matched stone hoods. Grigio Dove stone in bathrooms. Calacatta moonlight statuary marble chevron tiling. Lefroy Brooks Kafka collection. 58-foot saltwater pool — the first of its kind in NoHo.
At $3,000+ per square foot, 40 Bleecker positions itself as the premium reference for NoHo. The NoHo Historic District designation means any exterior elements require LPC consultation.
- Wine barrel French oak floors are building-exclusive — renovation should honor this unusual specification or replace with material of equivalent character
- Cerused oak cabinetry with fluted bronze glass is Korban's signature — renovation that touches kitchen must engage with this specifically
- Grigio Dove stone is unusual in NYC residential — warm grey with subtle veining, responsive to both warm and cool accent materials
- Lefroy Brooks Kafka collection is building-specific — renovation can maintain, upgrade, or pivot within Lefroy Brooks family
- NoHo Historic District means exterior elements require LPC consultation
- Fashion-forward cultural context means clients are likely to have strong visual preferences — design must be conversant in their aesthetic language
