Work Continues for 45 Broad Street, the Financial District’s First Impending Residential Supertall

Located to the south of the New York Stock Exchange on a narrow rectangular strip of land along Broad Street, the Financial District’s first residential supertall will soon rise at 45 Broad Street. The tower will eventually soar 1,115 feet above the crowded streets of Lower Manhattan, and should make a very dramatic impact on the skyline in the coming years.

CetraRuddy is the architect, while the developers are Madison Equities and Pizzarotti LLC.
