History

Established in 1993.

Starting with the renovation of 56 Thomas Street, a small TriBeCa warehouse building converted to condominium during 1993/​94, Sanba was arguably the first company in New York to understand the importance of design in new developments.

Following the success of Thomas Street, Sanba designed and developed 140 Franklin Street, a TriBeCa landmark, converting it into 14 large-​scale residential loft residences. This historical building, whose renovation was completed in 2001, featured a mural by late artist Sol Lewitt painted on the Lobby’s walls.

Further, Sanba included kitchen cabinets, high-​end appliances, specialty doors and custom closets all sourced in Europe to the finished apartments at 140 Franklin Street, achieving a level of quality previously unknown in real estate development in Manhattan. The development of this building started a trend of design-​oriented loft building conversions throughout New York City.
