Tribeca is dominated by former industrial buildings that have been converted into residential buildings and [[loft]]s, similar to those of the neighboring [[SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District]]. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the neighborhood was a center of the textile/cotton trade.

Notable buildings in the neighborhoods include the historic neo-Renaissance [[Textile Building (Manhattan)|Textile Building]], designed by [[Henry J. Hardenbergh]] and built in 1901, and the Powell Building, a [[List of New York City Designated Landmarks in Manhattan|designated Landmark]] on [[Hudson Street (Manhattan)|Hudson Street]], which was designed by [[Carrère and Hastings]] and built in 1892.<ref>{{cite news |title=Streetscapes/105 Hudson Street; A TriBeCa Taste of the Young Carrere & Hastings |url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D03E4DE1331F936A15755C0A9669C8B63 |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |author=Gray, Christopher |author-link=Christopher Gray (architectural historian) |date=June 25, 2000 |access-date=July 18, 2010 |archive-date=February 11, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090211102459/http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D03E4DE1331F936A15755C0A9669C8B63 |url-status=live }}</ref> Other notable buildings include the [[New York Telephone Company]] building at [[140 West Street]], between Vesey and Barclay, with its Mayan-inspired Art Deco motif, and the former [[New York Mercantile Exchange]] at 6 Harrison Street.

During the late 1960s and 1970s, abandoned and inexpensive Tribeca lofts became hot-spot residences for young artists and their families because of the seclusion of lower Manhattan and the vast living space. Jim Stratton, a Tribeca resident since this period, wrote the 1977 nonfiction book entitled ''Pioneering in the Urban Wilderness'', detailing his experiences renovating lower Manhattan warehouses into residences.
