50 West Street is a remarkable addition to the downtown Manhattan skyline, conceived and developed by Time Equities Inc. This luxury condominium tower, designed by the internationally acclaimed architect Helmut Jahn, rises to 64 stories, offering breathtaking views of New York Harbor, the Hudson and East Rivers, the Statue of Liberty, and Ellis Island from its curved glass windows.
Originally planned as a mixed-use hotel/condo tower, the development faced delays due to the financial crisis and Hurricane Sandy. Adjustments were made to enhance flood resistance, and the planned hotel was replaced with multilevel retail space. Ultimately, construction resumed with significant funding, including a $288 million loan secured by Time Equities' CEO Francis Greenburger and additional equity from Elliott Management Corporation.
The building's sophisticated architecture is matched by its luxurious interiors, designed by Thomas Juul-Hansen. It houses 191 residential units, ranging from one to four bedrooms. The amenities span four floors and include a comprehensive suite, featuring a Fitness Center, Water Club, children's and teen recreation spaces, and The Observatory on the 64th floor, offering panoramic views of the city's iconic landmarks.
50 West Street not only represents a significant architectural and residential development in New York City but also reflects the evolution of the Financial District into one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods to live in, offering both luxury and convenience to its residents.
