Façade installation is progressing on 1 Park Row, a 23-story mixed-use building in Lower Manhattan’s Financial District. Designed by Fogarty Finger Architects and developed by Circle F Capital, which received a $90 million construction loan from Parkview Financial in 2021, the 305-foot-tall structure will span 103,000 square feet and yield 58 condominium units in one- to three-bedroom layouts, as well as 19,000 square feet of office and retail space on the lower levels. 1 Park Row Development LLC is the owner of the property, which is located at the intersection of Park Row and Ann Street, directly across from the southern tip of City Hall Park.
Nearly all of the reflective floor-to-ceiling windows have enclosed the building since our last update, when the upper levels and the entire rounded southwestern corner remained exposed. The only sections still awaiting their glass are the ground level behind the sidewalk barriers and metal fencing, the vertical strip on the northwestern elevation where the hoist is anchored, and the top three levels. Meanwhile, installation of the sculptural precast stone paneling has begun on the lower floors of the southern face. Dark rectangular spandrels are also visible in some parts of the fenestration.

The façade panels are light beige in color, a departure from the metallic aluminum appearance previewed in the renderings. This revision should make 1 Park Row better match the aesthetics of the surrounding prewar structures.

The project is the latest development in the transformation of the Park Row streetscape, which has seen a number of prominent residential skyscrapers constructed over the past several years.
1 Park Row is located in close proximity to several major transportation centers in Lower Manhattan, including the Fulton Transit Center at the corner of Fulton Street and Broadway, Santiago Calatrava’s Oculus at the World Trade Center, and additional stations at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, City Hall, and Chambers Street.
YIMBY anticipates 1 Park Row to finish construction sometime in 2025.

15 Park Row must be feeling pretty good right now. Its red brick lot line wall stood naked and exposed for more than a century waiting for something to be built tall enough to be built at One Park Row to cover it.
Caps a nice flow down on this street. Good work!
Love the first set of photos capturing that curved corner! Nicely done’
Bet those future tenants will have to be very careful about what they do in the “fishbowl” windows facing the building across the street?
At least close the drapes or blinds first! 😳
Actually, just like the guests at the standard hotel on the Highline, they will enjoy the exposure
love the curved glass windows, on a very busy corner
should be fun
In mid-October the structure will be even more eye-catching, and people of the city lived happily: Thanks to Michael Young.
The building looks great but should be taller in my opinion as is the block and surrounding buildings. Manhattan is doing well in condo construction. The demand must remain strong or there are a lot of empty condos about the city.
This is the correct height for maximum complement to it’s historic neighbor.
I agree NFA, and I like how 25 Park Row is the tallest around the center of the block.
Close up pictures of the cladding, it’s shapes and how it attaches to the building are great.
The bent glass is very elegant and expensive.
It’s an excellent choice using beige as the panel color.
Hopefully, the exposed 15 Park Row brick wall extending up from the top line of One Park Row will get painted a complementary color to finish this well-executed project.
It’s not a bad-looking building, but how many condos do they need in FIDI? There is already a massive inventory.
This is Manhattan. If it doesn’t sell tomorrow it will sell the day after that. It’s like printing money.
Are you suggesting they should have gone rental here? Surely not office?
So when are they bringing back J&R Music World,
where I purchased my plasma TV so long ago?
Those folks are probably sipping a pina colada somewhere on a tropical beach. They cashed out just at the right time. As much as I wish J&R was still I suspect each passing year would have been tougher and tougher to remain profitable. Thanks online shopping/collapse of physical format media/gen z.
They are actually partners in this building and 25 Park Row. They sold 15 at a loss.
HAVING BEEN, IN 1967, ONE OF THE FOUR, ‘JR. BUTLERS’ FOR MRS. MM POST @ MAR-A-LAGO … (WE WERE 45 IN STAFF), HER MASSIVE ( c. 1920’s) OCEAN FACING … GLASS – PITTS. PLATE GLASS MASTERPIECE, WAS THE LARGEST OF ITS KIND. SADLY TODAY, ITS ‘REPLACEMENT’ WAS MADE IN 3 (THREE) SECTIONS – (COST?). ANYWAY, THE IMPACT OF ONE PARK ROW IS: IT’S BEAUTIFUL, HANDSOME, AND AN ADDED ENHANCEMENT TO OUR GREAT CITY. BRAVO! AND WELL DONE.
Those seems are pretty hard to see though. I think they’ve done a very good job here with the radius glass. 9 out of 1O design professionals woukd agree this was the prudent decision to get 95% of the effect at what is likely significant cost savings. I can’t imagine the risk of transporting and installing multiple monolithic units like that. This is actually an instance of good value engineering IMO.
Well done. Interesting & respectful of the neighborhood
Now we need Pace University to redevelop their Park Row facing site with something to compliment the Manhattan Borough Hall so Park Row will be complete.
Not happening. They had planned to tear it all down, but decided for a reno. I love the brutalist building and art.
