Structural work has reached the final stages 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 tower 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 topped out since our last update in June, when construction had recently passed the hallway mark. Crews are now building the steel frame for the crown above the southern edge of the roof. Meanwhile, the façade of floor-to-ceiling windows and gray metal paneling has continued its steady ascent and is currently closing in on the final residential floors.

The rendering at the top of the article depicts the upper half of 8 Carlisle Street in the late afternoon with a view of the nearby World Trade Center complex to the north.
The below diagrams highlight the trapezoidal shape of the tower, multistory podium, and shape of the mechanical crown. The latter will incorporate a symmetrical set of stepped setbacks on the southwest corner, mirroring the architectural gesture at the northwest corner of the base.

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 expects 8 Carlisle to complete construction sometime within the second half of 2027.
