Progress Continues on One Wall Street’s Addition and Conversion in the Financial District – New York YIMBY

Exterior work is moving along on the residential conversion and retail addition at One Wall Streetin the Financial District. Designed bySLCE Architectsand developed byMacklowe Properties, the projected $1.5 billion undertaking is the largest office-to-condominium conversion in New York City history. When complete, the property will yield 566 residential units with sales handled and marketed by CORE, as well as a 44,000-square-foot Whole Foods Market and a Life Time fitness center on the lower levels.

Recent photographs show the stepped design to the undulating floor-to-ceiling glass reaching the top of the steel structural addition. This entire section extends outward from the mid-century annex portion of One Wall Street. There is a layer of thin protective blue film on the majority of the envelope, but the final appearance is visible in the second level above the sidewalk scaffolding.

Most of the warm-colored stone envelope is now in place on the multi-story expansion and addition of One Wall Street, though glass installation has yet to commence. The southern elevation features a subtle outward curve and some minor grooves in the shape of the stone paneling. This small architectural detail is a nod to the skyscrapers sculptural Art Deco crown, and combines the use of modern construction methods and materials with the classic New York style of the early 20th century.
