TriBeCa was once a bustling industrial district overflowing with warehouses.
The neighborhood has since grown into a chic area south of SoHo boasting elegantly refurbished lofts, office buildings, trendy boutiques and galleries. Now featuring some of the highest rents in Manhattan, the area attracts successful artists, young professionals and celebrities.
TriBeCa is home to one of the most prominent film festivals in the world, the TriBeCa Film Festival. The festival was founded in 2002 by Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal to help revitalize downtown Manhattan and to celebrate New York City as a center of filmmaking.
