56 Pine St

Designed in Romanesque-revival style by Oscar Wirz and completed in 1894, this 16-story, landmarked condominium occupies a prominent lower Manhattan block. The conversion to condos in 2005 preserved the building’s masonry façade of stone, brick and terra cotta, arched inset windows, and other historic exterior details while introducing modern residential systems. Housing roughly 90 units, the inventory ranges from studios to one- and two-bedroom layouts with high ceilings, oversized windows, hardwood or bamboo floors, granite counters and well-appointed kitchens; many homes include generous closets and thoughtful built-ins. Common areas emphasize resident services and social amenities: a staffed 24-hour doorman and concierge, live-in superintendent and porters; laundry rooms on every floor; and a full club level with a fitness center, residents’ lounge with wet bar and billiards, media/theater room and a library. Building policies are pet-friendly and units are served by elevators and central heating and air. Parking is not part of the building; immediate access to multiple subway lines, Fulton Street transit hub, the South Street Seaport and nearby waterfront greenways anchors the property within the Financial District’s mix of dining, shopping and cultural destinations. Occasional assessments for capital projects have been noted in recent listings.
