The Woolworth Tower Residences
Originally envisioned to be four hundred and twenty feet, the building was eventually elevated to seven hundred and ninety two feet tall. This National Historic Landmark has inspired countless painters, photographers, movie makers, dreamers, and everyday New Yorkers. Today, under the direction of The Office of Thierry W Despont, the top thirty floors of this celebrated structure are being reimagined into thirty-four prized residences, crowned by a seven-story Pinnacle Penthouse.
Cass Gilbert, the original architect of the Woolworth Building, was the primary inspiration for The Office of Thierry W Despont's landmark reinvention. Few architects have left as dramatic a mark on New York City as Gilbert. Trained at MIT in the principles of the Parisian École des Beaux-Arts, he was an early proponent of the American skyscraper. Frank W. Woolworth's commission gave Gilbert the opportunity to develop his principles and ideals on a monumental scale.
This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of New York's rich history.
