Beekman Tower (8 Spruce Street)

In early October 2006, the one-acre parking lot on the west side of New York Downtown Hospital began its transformation into one of the tallest buildings in Lower Manhattan. Beekman Tower, whose address will be 8 Spruce Street (between William and Nassau Streets), will rise 75 stories (850 feet) and reshape the downtown skyline by the time it is completed in early 2010.

Architect Frank Gehry is designing the glass- and titanium-skinned tower. It will be primarily residential, though it also will dedicate 100,000 square feet to a public school, hospital offices, and an underground parking lot. There will be retail around its base and public plazas on its east and west sides, which pedestrians can use for access between Beekman and Spruce Streets.

130 Cedar Street

After several months of careful coordination with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the 130 Cedar Street building conversion began in summer 2007.

Cleaning and abatement of the existing 12-story former office building begins in late July 2007, starting from the top down using a four-floor "buffer zone" between the clean floors and deconstruction areas (a plan similar to that of 130 Liberty Street). Next, deconstruction will strip the building down to its concrete superstructure through the end of 2007, with eight air monitors in place throughout.

Construction is expected to commence in early 2008. Contractor Laval Construction will add seven new stories to the existing 12 stories (including a penthouse floor). The new, 19-story tower will house a new hotel with retail and restaurants.

20 Exchange Place

In 1931, 20 Exchange Place was constructed as the City Bank Farmers Trust Building (a predecessor of present day Citigroup) and was the 4th tallest building in the world. The building's original plans called for a pyramid top and a taller tower. However, due to the Great Depression, the building was topped off at its present height of 57 floors.

In June, 2004, developers Nathan Berman, Yaron Bruckner and Eastbridge NV acquired 20 Exchange Place for $152 million. Berman and Bruckner are converting the 800,000 square feet of space for residential usage. The Singer and Bassuk Organization announced last fall that it secured $210 million in residential Liberty Bond financing for the Berman and Bruckner conversion of the top 41 floors of the 57-story office building into 369 luxury rental units. The ground floor and four lower levels will house retail space. Floors two to 15 will remain commercial.

37 Wall Street

Built in 1907, the former home of the Trust Company of America at 37 Wall Street has been undergoing transformation in recent months into a residential rental building. At 25 stories tall, this Beaux Arts-style high-rise was one of the first truly tall buildings in the city, and it is one of the oldest remaining high-rises on Wall Street.

Previously serving as offices for Chase Bank, 37 Wall Street has remained vacant for the past few years. Last year, the building was purchased by developer W Associates, an affiliate of Garden Homes. Mike Thompson, project manager, reports that what's needed to convert this commercial building into residential space is mostly interior construction work, which is slated to begin in June. As the project moves forward, Thompson said, street closings will likely occur in the area surrounding the building, which is located on Wall between William and Nassau Streets.
