Corner Offices for Rent: Luxury Living Comes to the Financial District

The old Goldman Sachs headquarters, a stone's throw from the New York Stock Exchange, has undergone a transformation from a dated office building to a luxurious residential complex. The 36-story skyscraper, located at 55 Broad Street, has been converted into 571 apartments, ranging from studios to three-bedroom units. The rooftop will feature a swimming pool and breathtaking views of the New York skyline. The development, led by Metro Lost and Silverstein Properties, aims to cater to the growing demand for luxury housing in the Financial District. The area has undergone a significant transformation since the pandemic, with the addition of new amenities and services. Young families can be spotted at the indoor playground that used to be a New York Sports Club, while a Serafina restaurant is now located at what was previously a men's suit store. Each apartment at 55 Broad will have 10-foot ceilings and oversized picture windows that flood the space with natural light. The custom Italian kitchens are equipped with integrated appliances, quartz countertops, and matching backsplashes. Bathrooms are equally luxurious, with custom Italian tiles and Porcelanosa vanities. The amenities on offer include a fitness and yoga center, pet-washing stations, a rooftop swimming pool, and barbecue grills. Residents will also have access to a co-working lounge and a rooftop club house where they can hold business meetings or simply enjoy the views. The developers are considering a proposal from New York state officials to offer 25% of the units as affordable housing in return for tax breaks. This would be a significant step towards addressing the chronic real estate shortage in the city.
