Downtown New York Is On the Up

Spear’s writer Edwin Smith took a tour of the nearly completed residences and amenities at One Wall Street, the new office-to-condo conversion from legendary NYC developer Harry Macklowe. Starting in the opulent mosaic Red Room, the tour showed off the new residential tower’s suite of amenities, including a swimming pool with a view that Smith described as “one of the most spectacular” in the world. Smith was equally impressed by the residences themselves—which feature a diverse range of layouts that maximize natural light in every room—and the collection of retailers who have chosen to make the base of One Wall Street their home, including a recently opened Whole Foods Market and a forthcoming satellite of Parisian department store Printemps.
