Work is wrapping up on One Wall Street, the largest office-to-residential conversion project in New York City’s history. Developed by Macklowe Properties, the 90-year-old, 564-foot-tall Art Deco building is undergoing a 21st century restoration and overhaul that will yield 566 new residential units, a 44,000-square-foot Whole Foods Market, and a four-floor 75,000-square-foot Life Time fitness center on the lower levels of the Financial District property. At the top of the mid-century annex is a multi-story addition that was designed by SLCE Architects. Compass Development Marketing Group is handling sales and marketing for the homes with the help of a sales gallery located within the Red Room on the ground floor. One Wall Street is bound by Broadway and Trinity Church to the west, Wall Street to the north, Exchange Place to the south, and New Street to the east. JT Magen is the general contractor for the complex project.
Since our last update in May, work has wrapped up on the annex portion at the southern end of the property and the green sidewalk scaffolding has been dismantled.

Recent photos show the details in the intricately cut and textured stone facade. A dark-colored canopy hangs over the entrance along Broadway, which also features tall glass windows above the front doors. Through the revolving doors is a separate one-story lobby space with black and white mosaic floor tiling, lacquer walls, and a more modern design.

Over on the southwestern corner is the stepped glass and steel-framed structure with Life Time signage displayed along with a 2022 opening date. Above will be a set of homes with floor-to-ceiling glass panels framing views up and down Broadway toward Trinity Church and Bowling Green.

The shorter mechanical hoist on the eastern elevation has been dismantled, revealing the final appearance of the new upper extension and original section of One Wall Street. The terraces are still awaiting the installation of their glass railings.

The Red Room has been immaculately restored, and an illuminated white model of the building sits in the middle of the space along with three other displays showing the neighborhood, the lower floors and subterranean levels, and the new addition that will be home to a landscaped outdoor terrace and an indoor swimming pool. The mosaic tiling, narrow windows, lighting fixtures, and gold trims are warmly illuminated and evoke their original charming nature as they did nearly 100 years ago.

YIMBY also got to check out a couple of the outdoor terraces that look over Trinity Church, Broadway, the New York Harbor, the Statue of Liberty, the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, and the iconic skyscrapers that make up the Financial District.

No love for the GC/CM, JT Magen, in your article? Don’t you think they deserve some recognition too?
There are a lot of services, after I have seen the structure gets its beautiful design. It looks dense, but it’s warm and inviting inside: Thanks to Michael Young.
The Red Room is incredible!
Will it be open to the public?
Would love to add to my “must see” list for next visit!
I always love the building.
Beautiful renovation. I really wish they would clean up the area around the building though; specifically around the stock exchange. Much of the area looks like it hasn’t been touched much since September 12, 2001. They really need to find a permanent solution to the security barriers.
I don’t think “charming” is the right word for the red room. It was intended to blow you away, and indeed it does.
How about “stupendous”?
If there is one address in the entire world that “says it all”.. One Wall Street.
This will go down as Harry Macklowe’s finest achievement.
This is probably the best One Wall Street has ever looked. This is a really fantastic renovation and the additions are absolutely perfect. Love it.
They will continue to try to “southernize” American culture with country music, LA, Florida, Las Vegas BS. Don’t be fooled. It’s still here.
