It may once have been the financial capital of the world, but Wall Street is no longer occupied by banks – just high-end homes. Among them is One Wall Street, a New York icon that now contains 566 luxury condos. Here’s everything you need to know.
Look Inside… One Wall Street, New York
Designed by legendary American architect Ralph Walker in 1931, One Wall Street is among the most famous Art Deco buildings in New York. And while it once served as the headquarters of the Irving Trust Company (and later Bank of America), it’s just begun a dazzling new chapter.
After a monumental $1.5 billion transformation – the largest office-to-residential renovation in New York – One Wall Street now stands as a collection of spectacular residences. Each boasts gorgeous open-plan interiors and towering windows, with sleek custom kitchens and spa-like bathrooms. A select few properties (just 46) are complete with sprawling terraces.
Like any luxury development, however, One Wall Street contains far more than just homes; it’s also brimming with incredible facilities rivalling those of any five-star hotel. There is, in fact, a 100,000 square-foot social club containing a co-working space; a playroom; a ‘canine club’; and a restaurant, plus a private dining room complete with a ‘demonstration kitchen’ (presumably designed for private chefs at dinner parties).
That’s not all: residents can also enjoy a dedicated wellness space, a sprawling gym, and a 75-foot indoor pool with a wraparound terrace overlooking the Hudson River. Plus, there’s no need to hail a cab to Fifth Avenue for a spot of shopping: by 2025, One Wall Street will even contain its very own department store, courtesy of French maison Printemps (the brand’s first North American flagship location).
And yet, while everything at One Wall Street has been designed with modern luxury in mind, the building’s illustrious history still shines – and nowhere is quite as dazzling as the former banking hall (known as the Red Room). Officially designated as an ‘interior landmark’ by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, this breathtaking space is now adorned with 13,000 square feet of miniature glass mosaics that glitter like fireworks. Living in an old bank may sound like a dubious prospect, but this just might be the most enviable address in New York…
