The developers of Be @ William converted a 1960s office building into a new-age version of luxury; although they spent $32 million to reconstruct it, this building, located in the well-developed Financial District of Manhattan, has proven to be anything but a financial burden. In fact, this is one of the more affordable developments in the area, averaging prices well below $1000/square foot. With this price, and William’s location near both of the area’s big rivers, the development is sure to attract the attention of a lot of people. For those who decide to buy, they’ll find plenty to do in the area. Be @ William stands across from a park and a plaza for those people with kids or animals; singles will appreciate the proximity to restaurants, cultural events and the Hudson River Park.

The beauty of Be @ William extends past the black and white stone exterior of this sixteen-floor building. Each unit has a wide open kitchen with white quartz countertops that provide a contemporary feel. Custom-designed appliances personalize the unit, while white oak floors add elegance. Nine-foot ceilings and large windows bring New York City and all of its wonders into direct focus.

Residents who choose to “Be @ William” will find many intriguing community services, including a 24-hour doorman and concierge service. But above all else, they will enjoy the indoor/outdoor sky lounge, a roof-top paradise for residents that includes a wet bar, flat-panel television, fitness area, billiards table and plenty of room to socialize. A kitchenette and grilling area offer the opportunity to share a meal along with casual conversation, and a fireplace guarantees that gatherings will always be “cozy.”

Be @ William has 113 units of studio, one and two-bedroom luxury condominiums, varying in size from the small but elegant 640 square-foot studio to a penthouse with nearly 3,000 square feet of living space, balanced between indoor and roof-terrace living area.
