12 IN THE BIG WAREHOUSE ZONE WHERE TRINITY CORPORATIOS WILL LARGELY HELP IN THE WORK OF ESLA.RGISG ITS AREA. Whnt the Kern Ernst River Bridges Hair Dove for the Section- -Trading and Building in Active Uptoum Regions. The of Trinity Corporation to take an part In transforming the lower West Side Into a greater and office building section of the. most Important announcements relat' ing to realty affairr made in rfany years. There Is urgent need in the greater city for larger modern and warehousing districts and also lor more up-to-date- loft structures within a short distance s( the principal downtown office area of Manhattan Island.

That the city lacks a sufficient supply of such structures lias been -well known la real estate circles fcr some years. In the last few years a number of large syndicates nave formulated plans for meeting this demand, especially In that part of the city In which Trinity Corporation lias large holdings. About a year ago plans Ti-ere drawn for the Improvement of the site occupied by the Pubile Stores, on the Mock bounded by Reade. Duane, West and achington streets, with one of the largest cold storage plants ever projected south of Canal street. Thai plan was recently altered, and the building to be erected will be a loft and office structure many stories In height.

According to many leading real estate experts Vhs growth of the warehousing districts of the city; has not key! pace with the expansion TWO TYPES OF BUILDINGS IN DEMAND. -NOS. BS4 AND 835 CENTRAL PARK WEST Ttro Cathouses on a plot feet. Bought week by botjis M. Jones.

In the last ten years the business and by that is the area almost occupied by wholesale and retail business has almost doubled, and yet the operations which have hem carried out in that time in tie district for furnishing modern places for storing goods for local domestic or trade could quickly counted. At the time aome of the principal operating syndicates construction companies of the greater city are iVtudjing: these. problems relating to building newer. and therefore greater, sjtorage centres, and expect be Identified "with such project" In the 7 near future.

A WELL LOCATED BUSINESS. DISTRICT. Most of the owned by In the lower West Bide are located within the THE GREYLOCK DWELLINGS. Amsdern apartmer.t house at the northwest corner of 143 street ana Broadway. It was last week by George Schwegler for T.

J. McLaughlln's Sons to an investor. fxroe which is apparently most attractive for easily carrying out the work of creating a larger ware- JjC house and cold storage plant area. Briefly, It la the logical area of land for the jH furthering of such a development. A fey.

years Its realty strength In this respect might not have been rendered fo formidable, but the build- J-R of the Manhattan Bridge which -pans the River and extends from Flatbush and Fulton streets. Brooklyn, to Canal and the Bowerj'. Manhattan, and the building of the Willlamsburg 'Eridge over the East River have made (Ms section cf the city unusually alluring to prospective bulld" of large warehouse and cold storage plants. Of course, all this work, if carried out as at pres. planned, win result In a larger railroad freight terminal north of Duaiif street and south of Canal west of West Broadway.

ir- The area of the zone selected for this comprises over fifty blocks, half of will lend itself, owing: to vast real holdings of Trinity Corporation, to the ci transformation work to be done. To use a real estate expression, the three great bridges. tSo lower part of Manhattan Island with the- Long abore. namely. the Brooklyn.

Manhattan fc tad the form avenues of traYd heavy vehicles between the principal litxurlng centres of Brooklyn at.d to this district of the cltr in which St. John's Chapel la.loctted. Anfi such avenues of travel win lessen the experienced In loads between the boropghs linked together by the bridges, and will unquestionably bring more firmly together the various manufacturing centres. 'ana! street, which is one of the widest thoroughfares of the city, leads direct from the proposed plaza bounded by Canal. Bayard and -Forsytn Ftreets and the Bowery, at the westerly approach to the Manhattan Bridge, to the northerly limit of this proposed greater -warehouse and cold stqrage plant district.

About four blocks north of this bridge plaza is the Delancey street approach to the Williamsburg Bridge. Few persons outside of the real estate market appear to be aware of the short distance between these two bridge approaches. North of Canal street is Hester street, and then come Grand and Brooms streets, and next Is Delancey street WTPK THOROUGHFARES FROM STREET. As the Bowery 1b a wide thoroughfare- in of the widest In the the route from the street bridge approach by way of the Bowery and through 1 Canal street Is most suitable for the use of heavy vehicles. Here is another strong realty magnet to draw builders of warehouses to the distri-t.

From the approach of tha Manhattan to St. John's Chapel, which occupies the NO. 82 TO 96 WEST ISTH STREEV. A twelve-story and loft building on a plot 75x5C feet. It was bought last week by A.

D. Juilllard. through the real estate firm of Frederick Southack and Alwyn Bali, Jr. greater part of the block bounded by Varick and Beach streets and St. John's Lane, is a distinctof eleven short blocks, or a little, over a half mile, counting: twenty blocks to the mile, and the distance from the approach of the 1 Bridge to the St.

John's Chapel district Is only a distance of fourteen short blocks, or about three-quarters of a mile. The distance from the Brooklyn Bridge to the section Is about one mile. the widening- of Lafayette street a splendid rout" for vehicle travel has been furnished by the city from the Brooklyn Bridge to the chapel district by way of Lafayette and Canal streets. Many elements form the realty strength of tMa large area of land, the drawing power of which to builders, of warehouses Is many times greater than it was a fsw years ago. This proposed greater warehouse and cold storajre plant section, while not divided Into two parts by strik- ing pkyslesl characteristics.

Is reAlly made up of two parts, the lower half extending from Duanc street to the notherly side of North Moore street, west of West Broadway, and the northerly half extending from the northerly side of North Moore street to a short distance beyond Canal street, west of West Broadway. entire district will undoubtedly be enlarged so as to extend considerably, east toward the plaza of the Manhattan Bridge. The southerly part of the. area Is larsHy occupied by wholesale grocery houses, and tlsis section is likely to be transformed Into a larger wholesale grocery region, and, therefore, will require more buildings entirely used for storage purposes. It Is also more of a wholesale market section than tits northerly half or the district, and as niarketmen ere nowadays more Interested In caring for farm produce in transit under the best conditions they rail need more cold storage plants to preserve various kinds of produce.

IX THE NORTHERLY HALF OF THE REGION. The northerly half of the section has been largely occupied for years by warehouses and storage buildings rnnalas in height from six to nine stories. are alr-o a number of five story storage in this area of the district. The New York Central freight station occupies the entire block bounded by Beach. Hudson.

Varick and LJlgbt streets, and Is known as the St. John's Park freight station, la one NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUTE, SIXDAY. JAMARY 24, 1909. of the largest blocks in" the "entire district. It has a frontage of about 405 feet on Beach 'street, about 429 on Varick.

on Laight and about 438 on Hudson street. Opposite it to the east is St. "John's Chapel. Adjoining the rectory of the chapel end occupying the premises No. 34 Varick street Is an eight story warehouse, which la owned by the MillUcen estate.

That warehouse has a frontage of about XI feet and a depth of 35 feet. On the northerly end Of the block on which is St. Joan's Chapel, is the Gray Building, a modern business structure. To the east' of chapel, and occupying the greater part of the block occupied by York, Laight and Canal streets and West Broadway, are about five six story loft buildings and a paper box factory. On the triangular shaped block bounded by Canal, Laight and Varick streets is a cigar factory and also the big warehouse of the Crucible Steel Company of America.

Nor. 24, 26. 28 and Lalght street, which form a part of the block bounded by Laischt. Varick, Vestry and Hudson streets, are six story warehouses, arid in the twelve blocks forming the district bounded by North Moora, Vestry, Hudson and West streets are at least twenty big a rehouses. The Lalght street stores and warehouses occupy the entire block bounded by Hubert.

Lalght. and Washington streets. The stores are nine stories high and the warehouse is an eleven story structure. That block, devoted entlroly to warehouse and storage purposes, has a irontnse of about 230 feet on Hubert street, 178 on Washington street, about 224 en Laight street, and 178 feet on West street. The Butler Buildlnp.

a large structure used entirely by James Butler, the grocer, Is at the southwest corner of Hubert and Washington streets, a distance of four blocks west of St. John's Chapel. The three story building of 'the National Express Company, en the easterly side 6f Collister street, from Hubert to I.aight streets, Is less than two blocks west of St. John's Chapel. The Beach Street Stores, a six story structure, with a frontage of 151 feet and a depth of about 87 feet, is also less than two blocks west of the chapel properly.

The Reilly warehouse, a six story structure, Is on the premises Nos. 229 and 230 West street, with a. frontage of 60.5 feet and a depth of 124 feet, and Is blocks west. These blocks are much shorter than the average, block, as the- area of land between Hudson and Greenwich streets and Beach and Lalght streets is divided by Colllster street. ALONG NORTH MOORE STREET.

At the northeast corner of North Moore and Hudson streets is the building occupied by Metz Co of which company Controller Metz Is the head. It is within a short distance of the chapel property. In the district bounded by North Moore and Reade West Broadway and West street is an area of about tWenty-four short city blocks. In that region are about ten big- warehouses, largest occupying the blcck bounded by Keade, Duane, West and Washington streets. West of this region is a section almost entirely occupied by wholesale drygooda houses.

At southwest corner of Jay and Hudson, streets are the buildings occupied by Austin. Nichols i.r.d at the southerly end of the block, bounded by Franklin, Varick and North Moore streets and West Broadway, are the buildings of Francis 11. Leggett Co. Near by are the buildings occupied by Bennett. Day Co.

Occupying North Rlvor piers near the northerly half of the tone are the People's Line for Albany and the Desbrosses street freight station of the New York Central. Adjoining the New York Central pier. Is the Pennsylvania ferry to Jersey City. At -Harrison street is the' West Shore ferry to Weehawken, and within a short distance north and south are the piers owned anil used by many bigsteamship companies engaged In the ocean or coast trade service. HOLDINGS TRINITY How large a factor Trinity corporation will be in the development of the northerly and southerly halves of the district can readily be seen by referring to Its real estate holdings In the region.

It owns the greater part of the block bounded by Hubert, J.atghf. Colllster and Greenwich streets. Its parcels there practically surround a number of rehouses. It owns one large plot In the block; bounded by I.Alght. Hubert, Greenwich and Washington It owns five parcels in the block bounded by Vestry) Greenwich.

Hudson and Lalght streets, It is almost the sole owner of the triangular shaped Mock formed by Canal, Vestry and Hudson streets Here are located a large number of the old dwelling bouses which have for years been one of the principal assets of Trinity corporation. A part of the block is used by a glass company, the building standing on land own-id by the corporation. This Is one of the most valuable blocks In the -lower Westerly section of Manhattan Island. Its has been largely enhanced by the building of the Manhattan and. bridges.

Owing to large frontage on Canal street, any large storage building or warehouse put on this site would have excellent light and air. In fact, the lano if most suitable for a modern loft structure of- large height, depth and width. The corporation Is almost the sole owner of the block bounded by Greenwich. Hudson, Desbrosses and Vestry stieets. The only parcel in the block which it doe? not own is of small size.

It also owns the greater part of the triangular block bounded by Canal. Watts and Varies streets. This is another Bath-on shaped block, which must be included among the most valuable In the lower West Side, because of Its unusually large frontages on Canal street, and also owing to Its proximity to "West street and to Its nearness to many of the great freight shipping terminals in the lower part of Manhattan Island. MANY CHANGES IX 57TH STREET. The development of 57th street, from Sixth to Eighth avenue, is attracting widespread attention.

Nma of money have been spent in construction work in this beautiful thoroughfare in the last few and the southerly part of street, from Sixth to Seventh avenue, has been almost entirely rebuilt in the last two the builder of the studio apartments has been most active, and for that reason most of buildings on the southerly side of the street between the avenues named are. of the best types of studio The new home of the Lotos Club, a seven story structure; occupies, the premises 166 to 116 West 57th street. It has a frontage of 75 and depth of 100 feet. Adjoining arid occupying the site No. 120 to 124 "West 57th street the St.

The northerly side the street, from Sixth to Seventh' avenue, with the excej Upn of the site on which stands Calvary Baptist and corner parcels, it- Mill a rlwHHhsr house row.

This side of tho thorougbfa 1 la as attractive Jto studio- builders as the southerly but "they have not been able to sites there lii recent years, because of thf disposition of most of the owners' of the property to. hold and occupy, the houses which they have owned for years. It is only a question of a short however, before the sky line of the north side of the thoroughfare will undergo a largo change, Bad that transformation Is likely to result in the putting up of many large studio apartmerits there unless a number of leading clubs decide to follow the lead of the Lotos Club and have homes in this splendid part of the city. The real estate last- week, 'while not as large Involute as in tlie previous week, reflected a brisk market for high class dwelling houses, sites especially in the district north of sSth Street east of Central Park. One.

of the principal transactions of the week in that section was purchase by Edwin Gould of a plot feet, at the southeast corner of 75th street and Fifth avenue, from lira. H. W. Rogers, through Henry; D. U'inans Ha Mr.

Gould intends to ftreot en the plot a house for bis own use. He occupied' until recently the old Kemp house, at the. corner of i street an.l Fifth avenue, which is owned by Charles Morse He now lives at No. East 77th street. On a plct adjoining that purchased by Mr.

Gould, with a. frontage of 27 feet In the avenue and a depth of 120 feet, S. Reading Sertron 'will erect a houee for. his own- use. Mr.
