One Wall Street

First Look: One Wall Street Set for CetraRuddy-Designed Residential and Hotel Conversion and Expansion

Back in May of 2014, One Wall Street was acquired by Harry Macklowe from BNY Mellon for $585 million, with plans to convert the building from office to residential use. The Ralph Walker-designed tower is one of the most iconic skyscrapers in the Financial District, from its limestone exterior, to the vulcan-inspired Red Room, all the way to the former executive smoking room/observation lounge at the tip-top of the building. And now YIMBY has the first renderings of what the building will eventually look like, courtesy of a tipster, who sent along CetraRuddy-designed plans that transform the building’s base into a major retail destination, and its upper floors into condominiums and a hotel.

Earlier this year, Citigroup began advertising their development site at 23-15 44th Drive, in Long Island City, and now Jia Shu Xu’s C&G Empire Realty is acquiring the property for $143 million. The 36,000 square-foot site — a block from the Court Square stations serviced by the E, M, G and 7 trains — boasts roughly 780,000 square feet of building potential in the form of residential or commercial space. The new owner’s plans have not been disclosed, but existing three- and single-story structures must first be demolished.
