The crown jewel of architect Ralph Walker’s Art Deco masterpieces, One Wall Street is key to transforming the entire character of Manhattan’s Financial District into a vibrant residential community. A landmark-designated, 50-story limestone North Tower was built in 1931 and expanded with a South Annex in 1963.
In transforming One Wall Street into a mixed-used, residential property, a strategic effort was made to move the building’s cores from a perimeter location to the center of the building. This relocation created efficiencies for new residential layouts and the opportunity for more light to enter the building. The project involved new façade treatments reminiscent of the original building’s undulating Indiana limestone façade and Art Deco architectural fluting. ADP worked to ensure these interventions were approved by the NY Landmarks Preservation Commission.
One Wall Street’s transformative expansion introduces a third era of architectural aspiration in the building’s hundred-year history. This historic adaptive reuse project pays tribute to Ralph Walker’s intentions for art and beauty while responding to current market demands.
