130 William is an 800mftNaNmm (2,600feetft-2,147,483,648feetm), residential high-rise tower located in the Financial District of Manhattan. The building was developed by Lightstone and designed by Ghanaian-British architect Sir David Adjaye.[2]

History

Lightstone purchased the former 12-story office building at 130 William Street in May 2014 for $60 million after the previous owner defaulted on a mortgage from East West Bank.[3] Eight months later, the company unveiled Hill West Architects' plans for a 50-story tall mixed-use building that would reach a height of 581feet and contain a hotel and 188 apartments.[4] However, new plans filed in early 2017 removed the hotel portion and increased the building's size to its current height.[5] The project name was Wall Street Tower until in 2017, when the name was changed to 130 William Street.[6]

In March 2017, the project secured $305 million in financing and began construction.[7] Facade installation began in October 2018.[8] The building topped-out in May 2019. 130 William has also been recognized as the fastest selling luxury condominium development in New York City in 2018 and 2019.[9]

Construction of 130 William was completed in June 2023.[10]

Architecture and design

130 William's custom hand-cast façade features large-scale arched windows and bronzed detailing. It rises approximately 800feet tall at 66 stories and consists of 242 residences and over 22000square feet of amenities.[11] The building incorporates a new public plaza park, also designed by Adjaye, as well as over 20000square feet of retail, both located at the building's base.[12] [13]

130 William is adjacent to the Fulton Center transit hub of the New York City Subway. The building is also immediately adjacent to Tribeca, South Street Seaport, the Brooklyn Bridge.[14]
