Liberty Tower, located at 55 Liberty Street, is one of New York City's earliest skyscrapers, completed in 1909. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's law office was among its first commercial tenants. The building's distinctive terra cotta façade and detailed carvings of lions, falcons, and gargoyles earned it the prestigious Lucy G. Moses Preservation Award.
Converted into a cooperative, Liberty Tower offers 24-hour door staff and a live-in superintendent. It's zoned for District 2's Spruce Street School and is near the Oculus, Brookfield Place, and the South Street Seaport.
Designed by Henry Ives Cobb, Liberty Tower is a Romantic Gothic Revival skyscraper, one of the first to feature a white terracotta façade adorned with gargoyles, lions, falcons, and alligators. In 1979, it became one of the early residential conversions in Lower Manhattan.
Now a landmarked full-service cooperative, the building offers round-the-clock front desk staff, porters, and a live-in resident manager. It allows pieds-a-terre and subletting with board approval. There’s also a brand-new storage room with private lockers for each residence. Situated in the vibrant Financial District, it's surrounded by world-class shopping, dining, and major subway lines at the Fulton Street transportation hub.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
