Property Description for 55 Liberty Street, 26-B

Beyond unique and special! Haven't you always wanted to live in a New York City landmark? Apartment #26B, a uniquely laid out approximately 1340-SF two bedroom, two bath at 55 Liberty Street (which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places), is your chance. Make this incredible space your own with this one-of-a-kind opportunity to create a unique home in one of NYC's finest Gothic Revival-style buildings. One of the City's first skyscrapers, this classic 1909 high-rise was the tallest building in the world with such a small footprint. It is acclaimed for its striking terracotta facade with intricate sculptures of lions, eagles, flowers and gargoyles, and once housed the law offices of President Theodore Roosevelt.Featuring high ceilings, ten large double-glazed windows, southern and western exposures, W/D unit, and white Carrera marble flooring in the grand entry foyer and dining room that matches the original 1909 marble flooring in the building's common hallway, this corner unit is quiet and has a great flow to it, although the entire apartment could be completely reconfigured should you so desire. There is a large dining area and the spacious master bedroom has a gigantic en-suite bathroom. There is extensive closet space, including a walk-in in each bedroom and a spacious enclosed storage area above the closet in second bedroom (an "attic" of sorts).This prestigious co-op boasts a 24-hour doorman, porters, a live-in super, five elevators serving only 87 units, and allows pets and pied-a-terre. Its prime location is just a few blocks from Wall Street, the South Street Seaport, Hudson River Park, City Hall Park, Whole Foods, and all the bars and restaurants of Stone Street and Tribeca, in addition to the Brookfield Place food court and marketplace with its numerous shops and restaurants, such as Gucci, Burberry, Bottega Veneta, Ferragamo, J. Crew, Lululemon, DryBar, and the soon-to-be-opened Saks Fifth Avenue, plus an Equinox and the French marketplace Le District. And it is just a two-minute walk to the new Fulton Street Transit Center, with access to the 4/5, 2/3, A/C, J/Z and R subway lines. Come view a little piece of history in the vibrant and rapidly evolving Financial District!

Financial District | Manhattan

Quick Profile

The Financial District (FiDi) today is a bit of a hybrid neighborhood, as the residential component continues to grow in an area that has been historically dominated by the financial and insurance industries. The residential experiment, which began more than two decades ago, continues to evolve in an area with a large concentration of older, large office buildings. Developers have taken to these aged buildings and have re-positioned them as residential properties. In turn, the public spaces, services and retail establishments needed for a thriving residential neighborhood have followed making this an important destination for city residents.

Since 2000, the residential population of the Financial District has nearly tripled in size from about 23,000 residents to more than 60,000 inhabitants. Many of the residential pioneers to FiDi were people attracted to the lower rents in the neighborhood, particularly the post-collegiate crowd. While the millennials still maintain a large footprint here, there are plenty of families that now consider the Wall Street area home. 

Many of those that live in the Financial District walk to work. If you reside here and need to commute elsewhere, the transportation from here is about as good as it gets. Express trains can take you to Midtown, either east or west, in twenty minutes. Brooklyn is but a single subway stop away. There are also ferries across to Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.
