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. One bedrooms average 1,080 square feet, and the largest two-bedroom unit is 1,406 square feet in area. Seventy percent of the units are already sold, at prices ranging from a thrifty $331,000 to a more than reasonable $1.8 million.

At 43-stories, 75 Wall Street looms over its neighbors, and this high stature is met with high quality and service. Located in the popular financial district, this former JP Morgan Chase building has 349 condominium residences to fill, ranging from the cozy studio to a sprawling 3-bedroom floor plan. Residents here never have any trouble finding things to do, since the area crawls with transportation options, including private and public transportation.

75 Wall Street is a unique offering for prospective condo-buyers. Developers have combined condominiums with a hotel, so residents here enjoy such hotel amenities as room service, valet parking, and 24-hour concierge service, not to mention access to the full service bar and restaurant on the lower floor. And since many permanent residents may be taken aback by the constant flow of visitors, condo residents and hotel visitors enter and exit the building in different places.

The condominiums at 75 Wall Street are open and inviting. The layout emphasizes integration; as such, the kitchen and dining rooms share the same space. Some units even have an extra room that can be used as a study or den. Ten-foot ceilings and oversized picture windows add to an open ambiance. Finally, expensive decor such as cerused oak flooring, lacquer and glass cabinets, and white marble bathrooms spoil the average resident.

A day in the life of residents here at “75” may just be a quiet day at home. More likely, though, they will find a way to take advantage of the building’s many social opportunities. One popular hangout is the fitness center on the 18th floor. Besides offering a cardio area, this facility also includes massage rooms and a screening room. Kids will enjoy the game room, and parents will like knowing that their kids are safely playing on the same floor. The rooftop Solarium/lounge brings people together to celebrate summer activities like a day at the beach or a backyard barbecue (not to mention resting in the hammock or hot tub). The architectural firm the Rockwell Group, whose previous projects include the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles and Jet Blue’s new airport terminal at JFK, has designed 75 Wall Street. It is expected to open to residents in 2008.
