Early conceptual studies revealed for David Adjaye tower in Manhattan

[Update 5/25/2017: After this article went to press Adjaye Associates submitted the following statement to AN: “These images only reflect early conceptual studies of the building. We remain in the process of refining and evolving the design, with imagery adjusting accordingly. We look forward to sharing final renderings in the coming months.” This article’s title was updated accordingly.)

Early conceptual studies have surfaced for architect David Adjaye‘s latest project, a condominium tower in Manhattan’s Financial District.

The developer, Lightstone Group, is seeking funding for the 800-foot-tall tower, which is set to rise at 130 William Street. The group tapped Adjaye’s London firm, Adjaye Associates, to design the 60-story, 228-unit structure, which—though it’s about five blocks north of its namesake row—will be called the Wall Street Tower.

In the leading study, the building’s arched gold windows rise almost to the same height of SOM’s One World Trade, which is tucked coyly into the background.

The Real Deal reports that construction on the approximately $700 million project is expected to wrap in November 2019.

Though Adjaye is best known stateside for his National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., the London architect has designed affordable housing in Sugar Hill for the Broadway Housing Communities and the Studio Museum in Harlem. Recently, his firm was tapped to design a public library in an Orlando, Florida suburb and master-plan a major waterfront development in San Francisco.

Lightstone’s teaser site for the project says that prices will start at $630,000 for a studio and go up to $4.7 million for a four-bedroom. Marketing materials show residents cavorting around an indoor pool and spa, a wine cellar, gym, movie theater, and rooftop observatory, among other amenities.
