A very modern luxury rental building in the heart of one of Manhattan's most historic neighborhoods, Barclay Tower is a study in elegant contrast. The same can be said of Tribeca, though, which makes Barclay Tower a perfect fit at 10 Barclay Street. While Barclay Tower's imposing height ensures that it towers over its environs, this luxury rental building's combination of elegant apartments for rent, classic Manhattan comforts, ultra-modern amenities and prime lower Manhattan location is perfectly Tribeca. Add it all up and it's easy to see why Barclay Tower is one of the most desirable rental listings in Tribeca.

The amenities at Barclay Tower stand out even relative to the high standard set by other luxury rental apartment listings in lower Manhattan. Barclay Tower's public spaces bear the aesthetic stamp of star designer John Saladino, who provided design grace notes ranging from striking marble fountains to a host of smaller, subtler design elements and accents of marble, mosaic tile and teak. There's function to go with that graceful form, as well, thanks to luxuries both expected and unexpected. Barclay Tower's 24-hour doorman and concierge service is par for the course for luxury rental listings in Tribeca, but the building's state-of-the-art fitness center, windowed 50-foot swimming pool, Yoga studio and well-stocked children's playroom are luxuries that transcend the ordinary.

Barclay Tower's combination of classic comfort and contemporary grace is most evident in its elegant rental apartments, though. Few apartments for rent in Tribeca -- few apartments for rent in Lower Manhattan, for that matter -- can match the stunning city and river views at Barclay Tower, and floor-to-ceiling windows bathe each apartment in natural light. Spacious floor plans are the rule in each rental apartment, and elegant, ultra-modern fixtures and finishes make the windowed, marble-accented baths and gourmet kitchens especially impressive. All in all, the apartments for rent at Barclay Tower offer everything discerning NYC dwellers expect from a luxury rental listing in Tribeca.

Just as importantly, the apartments for rent at Barclay Tower offer all of the above with the added advantage of a prime Tribeca location. It's a short walk to work in the Financial District or Tribeca from 10 Barclay Street, and a host of restaurants and even a few nightspots are a short walk away. The subway hub at Brooklyn Bridge is also just steps away, putting the rest of Manhattan within easy reach. Thoroughly modern, classically Manhattan, Barclay Tower is inarguably one of the most desirable new rental apartment listings in Tribeca.
