Sir David Adjaye’s First New York Skyscraper Continues Rising Over The Financial District At 130 William Street

Visible from the Brooklyn Bridge and starting to pop up over its surrounding context, 130 William Street, designed by Sir David Adjaye of Adjaye Associates, is making an early impact on the Lower Manhattan skyline. The future 800-foot-tall and 66-story residential tower will have 244 units when completed. Hill West Architects is the architect of record while Lightstone Group is the developer, and Corcoran Sunshine is in charge of handling sales. 130 William Street will rise to its 800-foot pinnacle and it is currently the 20th-tallest tower under construction in the Five Boroughs. At topping-out, it will stand eight feet above the Woolworth Building, and six feet shorter than Bloomberg Tower.

Recent photos show the progress of the facade installation on the north side and the western facade facing the World Trade Center. Both are created with the same dark-colored concrete cast panels, with bronze window detailing. There will be full floor units at the top of the tower, with private terraces hidden behind the signature exterior wall.
