About 2 Gold Street
This 51-story rental apartment tower was erected in the Financial District at 2 Gold Street by the Rockrose Development Corporation in 2005.
Avinash K. Malhotra was the architect. The lobby was designed by The Rockwell Group.
The full-service building has 650 apartments.
It has a 24-hour concierge, an attended garage, a fitness center, a very large roof deck with spectacular vistas in all directions as well as a roof solarium with fireplace, a game room and valet service.
The landscaped plaza has a sculpture, "Two," by Gustavo Bonevardi.
Some apartments have balconies or terraces and floor-to-ceiling windows and windowed kitchens.
The rooftop water tank is enclosed and illuminated at night.
The tower, which has many corner windows, is not far from the South Street Seaport.
The Elghanayan family that owns Rockrose was able to finally acquire most of the entire block bounded by Gold, Platt and Pearl Streets and Maiden Lane in 2005 when it acquired a parking lot from C. V. Starr, an insurance company that once belonged to AIG, which is located in the famous Art Deco skyscraper nearby at 70 Pine Street. The Elghanayans planned to add a second apartment building on the block's southeast corner and a hotel on its northeast corner.
