The
Independence Plaza North Tenants Association (IPNTA) represents the tenants
of Independence Plaza North, a housing complex on Greenwich Street consisting
of three 39-story buildings connected by plazas and townhouses. The complex
houses thousands of residents. It was built in the early 1970s, before
"Tribeca" as such existed. Its ethnically and economically diverse
inhabitants have helped to transform Tribeca from a formerly bleak, commercial
and industrial area, into a thriving neighborhood.
