Construction has resumed on 125 Greenwich Street, an 88-story residential skyscraper in Manhattan’s Financial District. Designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects and developed by Fortress Investment Group and Bizzi & Partners, the 912-foot-tall structure will yield 273 condominium units designed by March & White and marketed by Douglas Elliman Marketing Development, which is aiming to launch sales later this fall. The developers secured a $313 million construction loan from Northwind Group in February to finish the formerly stalled project. Time Square Construction and Plaza Construction are the general contractors for the property, which is located at the corner of Greenwich and Thames Streets, just south of the World Trade Center complex and Liberty Park.
Crews have begun work on the unfinished crown since our last update in February, when construction was readying to restart. Recent photos show 125 Greenwich Street’s mechanical levels beginning to be enclosed in dark paneling that covers the recessed portions of the reinforced concrete superstructure. These sections divide the two large volumes of floor-to-ceiling glass around the middle of the skyscraper, and between the multi-story podium and main tower itself. The construction elevator remains attached to the western elevation.

Cladding across the podium remains to be finished and would likely be the last exterior section to finish after the hoist gets removed.

Homes are planned to come in studio to three-bedroom layouts, with units on the upper floors offering panoramic views of the Hudson River, the Statue of Liberty, the World Trade Center, the Midtown skyline, and Brooklyn and the East River beyond the cluster of Wall Street skyscrapers to the east. MAWD designed the interiors in three distinct palettes inspired by the building’s views. Lifestyle and wellness amenities will be spread across several levels at the top of 125 Greenwich Street and include an indoor lap pool, a spa, a fitness center, and a private club with expansive city views.
Construction on 125 Greenwich Street is predicted to finish sometime in early 2024.

I would love to live in one of your billing
Resume! I’m glad to see residential skyscraper lively again on construction to its completion, which will add prominent someway on height or unique exterior with separate glass. Moreover furthermore there is lucky location that nearing views of One World Trade Center, and how about Two World Trade Center? Thanks to Michael Young.
This building is simply dreadful. What a disappointment.
WOW… talk about a “tall and skinny”! 😳
Nearly all of the photos show the side with the hideous vertical concrete stripes.
I mean that’s really the point though, you can’t avoid not seeing it as part of the exterior design
Finally! I’ve been waiting on this project for years now. It’s great to see it resume, though I wish that the exposed concrete would be cladded.
Thomas what exactly have you been waiting for?
Why is it great that it’s resuming for you?
Are you moving in?
Should I move in too?
Why in God’s name do you ALWAYS make such snarky and condescending comments like that Guesser? This isn’t the first time you attacked Thomas in such a childish and immature way like how you did in the article about 111 Washington Street.
A man expresses his enthusiasm and delight, and you once again ruin the mood. And don’t you dare try to play the victim by calling out YIMBY’s against your viewpoints, because it’s not about that at all. You’re just nothing but a cold arrogant bully and a scum bag who’s no better than a terrorist out to hurt innocent people like Thomas.
attacked Thomas?
What hyperbole
“A man expresses his enthusiasm and delight” for a stupid building!?
Ruin the mood? The mood of comments on a YIMBY website? Wow , you guys are so over the top.
That’s what happens when a picture of a building is posted on a website to a YIMBY?
I’m curious why YIMBYS look forward to tall , disgusting, out of context, ugly buildings?
Kevin
You’re just nothing but a cold arrogant bully and a scum bag who’s no better than a terrorist out to hurt innocent people like Thomas.”
Hurt innocent people? Terrorist?! For making sarcastic comments on a website? WOW
Your comment is hyberpole, over the top blsht
Hey Gubser, Guesser, Guessers, or whatever new stupid nickname you give yourself on this site you fail to hide yourself behind, Im a total NIMBY too and have always been one. I disagree with many comments here too and seriously hate a lot of the new projects going up around the city. But I’d NEVER stoop down to your level of instigating and stirring things up with random people with such random bull sh*t comments of no value. Saying this to you is an exception I’m glad to make and call you out on.
Can you please gather enough brain cells you haven’t killed off yet to answer in one simple sentence why you decided to say such an outright bitchyy thing to Thomas? For someone you don’t likely even know or met in real life, why did he deserve to get such a sh*tty response from an annoying assh*le like you?
The reactions from your comment clearly show how degrading and childish you sounded, and I bet you get a kick out of yourself every morning waiting to ruin other people’s days
“If you don’t like my comments, just ignore and move on” you’d say. A pathetic weak excuse to dismiss your accountability and harassment…
If you don’t like my comments, just ignore and move on”
F*ck you Guesser 🖕🖕🖕
Guessers are you for real, and did you not read the title of the article to answer your first question? If for example Thomas were to say the exact same thing about One Seaport resuming construction one day, will you also sound as self-absorbed and childish as you did earlier today?
Maybe you and a bunch of other people don’t like this building, which I’m not surprised to hear of for whatever reason. What’s also not surprising is you constantly sounding so toxic and demeaning to the point where it’s not even a critique, it’s just plain rude and makes you sound like an immature crybaby. Your comment is a perfect example how Yimby’s comment section has been filled with such garbage
Guessers, I feel like someone did you dirty in the past, and now you’re become bitter, corrupt, and cold towards the whole world, preying on innocent people like Thomas with your attempt to intimidate and ridicule
Preying on innocent people like Thomas?!
I’m not a predator, i’m a NIMBY commentator to all you hippocritical YIMBYS who would instantly become NIMBYS if any of these out of context, skyscrapers were being built in your neighborhoods
What hyperbole over the top blsht
Intimidate?
I asked a couple of questions.
Guesser loves to pester, and probably will forever
no only as long as hippocritical YIMBYS exist
Should’ve learned how to design with concrete like Tadao Ando’s work. I’m sure it won’t be too hard to cover up if that were t ever happen in the future.
And Guessers wtf is what your comment and questions for Thomas? Sounds so predatory and unnecessarily sarcastic
sarcastic yes , but not predatory.
That’s hyperbole over the top blsht
That last photo says it all. Raw, brutalist concrete didn’t look good in the 70s, and it still doesn’t look good now. The uneven pour and staining becomes an annoying distraction to an otherwise good design. Maybe one day it will be clad in stone panels.
You’re right about the “poor pour”, but Brutalism is cool if you go all-the-way, like former Whitney (currently Frick Madison) or the Barbican in London!
An architectural style as old and rare as Brutalism becoming such a buzzword among has to be one of the strangest misguided phenomena among the antimodernists
Maybe dark EIFS panels that match the cladding on the mechanical levels would be nice if they ever did that one day.
It’s about time. We’ve had to live with their intrusive sidewalk sheds and blocked off streets and sidewalks for far too long
