20 W St

A landmark condominium high-rise completed in 1930, this 45-story Financial District tower blends prewar scale with renovated studio and one-bedroom accommodations. The exterior presents classic masonry massing scaled to a dense downtown block, with resident-accessible roof deck and a planted garden at ground level that provide outdoor respite from the surrounding commercial fabric. Units typically feature tall ceilings and oversized windows with river and skyline views; many have been updated with modern finishes such as wide-plank flooring, stone and quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and custom built-in storage. Building services emphasize full-time staffing and convenience: a 24-hour doorman/concierge, live-in superintendent, valet options, and on-site laundry and bike storage. Shared indoor amenity spaces include a residents’ lounge, movie screening room, and a sizable fitness center, while deeded storage is offered for some apartments. The condominium regime allows flexible ownership models—including pied-à-terre, investor purchases, corporate ownership, and short-term rentals with a 30-day minimum—making it operationally adaptable. Located steps from Brookfield Place, the Hudson River Greenway, Pier 17 and multiple subway lines, the building sits amid restaurants, waterfront amenities, and transit connections central to Financial District urban living.
