One Wall Street, a 50-storey Art Deco skyscraper located at the epicentre of New York’s financial district, has announced the completion of its office-to-residential conversion, the largest in New York City history. Developed by Macklowe Properties, the building offers residents world-class design, luxury amenities, and the best of what New York City has to offer on their doorstep.
Macklowe Properties, founded in New York City 58 years ago by Harry Macklowe, has developed over 13 million square feet of residential, commercial and retail space to date. The company has earned a reputation for offering innovative design with high-quality construction. The company’s developments include 432 Park Avenue, 737 Park Avenue, Metropolitan Tower, ThreeTen East 53rd Street, and the Apple Cube on Fifth Avenue – known for its signature 32′ glass cube entrance.
Macklowe’s One Wall Street offers studio to four-bedroom condominium residences available for immediate move-ins. The residences combine contemporary downtown style with the sophistication of a pedigreed uptown building. Given its location near the southern tip of Manhattan, the upper stories offer spectacular views of the surrounding water bodies – Hudson River, East River and the Upper Bay where the State of Liberty stands.
One Wall Street occupies an entire block in Lower Manhattan, at the juncture of Broadway and Wall Street. The 199m tall structure, with a facade made of limestone, consists of two sections. The original 50-story building was constructed between 1929 and 1931, while the 36-story annexe to the south was built between 1963 and 1965. The building is regarded as one of New York’s Art Deco landmarks, a list that includes the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building. It is also a contributing property to the Wall Street Historic District.
Conveniences for residents include full-time door staff, porters, a resident manager, and white-gloved concierge service. The star of One Wall Street’s exclusive offerings is The One Club. Inspired by the great social clubs of London and New York, it boasts 100,000 square feet of exclusive amenities for residents and their guests.
The One Club includes a private art-filled dining restaurant and bar, a private dining room, a demonstration kitchen, a fitness centre, a children’s playroom, and a spectacular 75-foot pool on the 38th floor with a wraparound outdoor terrace. The One Club also includes complimentary membership and priority access to 75,000 square feet of fitness, wellness, and more at the on-site four-level Life Time health club.
Located in the base of the building is the Financial District’s largest Whole Foods store. Open to the public, it provides residents with 360 convenience under one roof. In addition, Printemps, the 155-year-old Paris-based luxury retailer, is set to install a new, experiential-focused retail concept that infuses shopping with entertainment within a “Paris meets New York” design.
Long known as the Financial District, the stretch of Lower Manhattan extending from south of Tribeca to the Brooklyn Bridge is now much more than a global banking hub. One of Manhattan’s most dynamic neighbourhoods, it is a lively, liveable, transit-friendly residential district, full of history, premium shopping, dining, and entertainment.
No other neighbourhood in New York City can boast as many famous sites in such close proximity – historic as well as contemporary. From 19th century icons such as Federal Hall, Trinity Church, and the Brooklyn Bridge, to 20th century landmarks like the New York Stock Exchange, the new World Trade Center complex and Battery Park.
One Wall Street is surrounded by some of New York City’s best and most diverse shopping. Global fashion labels including Tiffany & Co., Burberry, Gucci, and Hermès join one-of-a-kind bookstores, stationers, and other homegrown shops to give the neighbourhood an authentic New York vibe.
From historic taverns to Japanese bakeries and taco trailers to Michelin-starred restaurants, One Wall Street’s neighbourhood is a food-lover’s paradise. It is also home to the Tin Building, Jean-George Vongerichten’s temple to gastronomy, whose fine-dining restaurants, casual cafes, bars, and incredible food halls have made it a culinary destination for New Yorkers and global visitors alike.
One Wall Street appears to have hit the market at an opportune time. The New York luxury property has been bullish lately with increased interest in this sector amongst high-net-worth clients from home and broad.
