With a recent conversion, the Woolworth Tower has gone from the “Cathedral of Commerce” to one of the city’s most prestigious condos. The famed 792-foot building by Cass Gilbert is as iconic as ever, but the top 30 floors have been transformed into condos by acclaimed architect Thierry Despont. They offer a chance to live in a building that has been designated both a national historic landmark and a New York City landmark.
Unit #40A, a 6,095-square-foot, four-bedroom, five-bath home spanning the entire 40th floor and rising 516 feet above City Hall, has just come on the market for $21.325 million. At $3,499 per square foot, it greatly exceeds the Tribeca average of $2,032 per square foot. The owner will have access to such amenities as the Gilbert Lounge, a lap pool originally commissioned by H.W. Woolworth, state-of-the-art fitness center, wine cellar and tasting room, and on-site parking.
