Downtown Manhattan is undergoing a transformation, with new residential buildings opening up and retailers signing expansive leases. Harry Macklowe’s record-breaking office-to-condo conversion at One Wall Street will soon be home to the biggest new retail lease of all. Legendary French department store Printemps will open its flagship North American store at the base of the art-deco tower and welcome shoppers into the massive 54,000-square-foot space in the spring of next year. Printemps will join Whole Foods as anchor merchants at the high-rise tower, which is also home to 566 luxury condos and a suite of residential amenities aimed at turning Downtown from an office district into a thriving residential neighborhood.
