Construction is quickly progressing on 8 Carlisle, a 64-story residential skyscraper at 8 Carlisle Street in Manhattan’s Financial District. Designed by Handel Architects and developed by Grubb Properties and Pink Stone Capital, the 789-foot-tall structure will span 326,221 square feet and yield 462 residential units. The project will also include 7,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space and a 60-foot-long rear yard. The property is alternately addressed as 111 Washington Street and located at the corner of Washington and Carlisle Streets, just south of the World Trade Center complex.
The reinforced concrete superstructure has risen past the halfway mark since our last update in the first week of March, and is beginning to make an impression on the skyline. Meanwhile, the façade of floor-to-ceiling windows and gray metal paneling has climbed steadily up the tower, cladding it nearly to the height the building stood three months ago. Based on the pace of work, YIMBY expects the skyscraper to top out sometime this summer.

The below diagrams highlight the trapezoidal shape of the tower, which sits atop a multistory podium. The uppermost levels of the superstructure will incorporate a symmetrical set of stepped setbacks on the southwest corner, mirroring the architectural gesture at the northwest corner of the base. The rendering in the main photo depicts the crown clad in an illuminated metal envelope with a dense array of thin vertical elements.

8 Carlisle Street will house seven to ten units per level. Amenities will include a 63rd-floor lounge, a swimming pool, a fitness center with outdoor terrace access, coworking spaces, a demo kitchen, entertainment rooms, bike storage, a full-time doorman, and a live-in superintendent.
The site was formerly occupied by a ten-story parking garage that was demolished in 2007. The land sat undeveloped for the next 16 years before pilings and earthwork began in 2023.
The closest subways from the corner property are the 1 train at the Rector Street station to the south along Greenwich Street, the R and W trains at the Rector Street station at Trinity Place, and the 4 and 5 trains at the Wall Street station on Broadway.
YIMBY predicts 8 Carlisle to complete construction sometime within the second half of 2027.
