At One Wall Street, the Lower Manhattan condos for sale are more than just your everyday dwellings. Much like the city itself, this luxury building is equal parts history and forward-thinking innovation, something you will be aware of from your first glimpse of the lobby to the moment you arrive at your luxury residence designed with modern comfort and convenience to elevate your everyday needs.
Located in the center of world commerce and finance, One Wall Street was envisioned as a place where exquisite design merges with opulent materials and meticulous detailing to produce homes ranging from studios to four-bedrooms, creating a bright new future for Downtown NYC living.
From the outside, this 50-story limestone-clad tower is an eye-catching monument to Art Deco as designed by the “architect of the century,” Ralph Walker. A hundred years ago, Walker was one of the most in-demand architects in the country, wowing critics and colleagues, like Frank Lloyd Wright, with his grand yet somehow subdued masterpieces, including the Western Union Building, the (now-named) Verizon Building, and, of course, One Wall Street, formerly named the Irving Trust Building.
One look up, and it’s easy to see why One Wall Street is often regarded as one of the most gorgeous structures in town.
The soft undulating of the exterior and the signature setback terraces have made One Wall Street an architectural icon in the New York City skyline. It’s a building so iconic that the original structure was designated as a New York City landmark in 2001, placing it among the ranks of the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building.
For most of its almost-100-year existence, One Wall Street was a hub for business and banking, with the aforementioned Irving Trust being its original notable tenant. As business grew, so did the building itself, with the addition of an annex. Passing by, you can almost imagine the doers and makers at work inside, hammering out deals with the clatter of office sounds continuing deep into the evening.
Today, however, thanks to innovative developer Harry Macklowe, gone are the typewriters clacking and ticker tape machines buzzing. Instead, you’ll find world-class residences offering exquisite detailing and top-flight amenities where today’s business movers and shakers will find a relaxing spot to call home. Think: landscaped outdoor spaces, meticulously designed social areas, a state-of-the-art fitness facility, a concierge, and on-site wellness options.
Utilizing elements of One Wall Street’s corporate grandeur, the building is truly a mix of past and present, including the jaw-dropping Red Room (now being utilized as the One Walls Street Sales Gallery). Theatrical and sprawling, the Red Room was once a “banking hall” and entrance for One Wall Street. Although this immense space has not been designated as a landmark — yet — the team behind One Wall Street has treated it as such. Entered from street level, this remarkable room is a symphony of deep reds and oranges adorned with striking art by the Art Deco muralist Hildreth Meière.
