The Building
111 Murray Street is a Tribeca luxury condominium that offers unbeatable views and top notch amenities in a prime downtown location. This building transformed not only the downtown skyline, but also the standard for new development condominiums in Tribeca and the Financial District.
Completed in 2018, this 62 story skyscraper is an architectural marvel. Soaring high at nearly 800 ft tall, the building houses 157 total condo units. Architects Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates designed the elegantly sweeping shape that adds a new dimension to the downtown landscape.
The exterior is covered in curved glass that shines in the light and allows residents uninterrupted views of the Hudson River and New York Skyline.
On the ground floor, the landscaped gardens and a roomy entrance way welcomes residents and their guests alike. Once inside, the lobby, designed by David Rockwell, is filled with natural materials that soften its clean modernism. Residents can relax here and enjoy the interplay between the outdoors and indoors.
