About 99 John Deco Lofts, 99 John Street
This attractive, 1932 office building was converted to a rental apartment building by Rockrose Development Corporation in 1999 and in 2007 Rockrose converted it to a residential condominium.
Designed by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon, the architects who had designed the Empire State Building a few years before, this 27-story, limestone-clad building has 422 apartments.
The marble lobby contains its original murals by Giancarlo Impligia.
The apartments have beamed, 11- to 14-foot-high ceilings, state-of-the-art wiring, individually controlled heating and air-conditioning, walk-in closets and pass-through kitchens.
The building has 24-hour concierge service, two roof decks, a residents' lounge with a fireplace, a billiards table and a screening room, a fitness center, walk-in closets and a garage with elevator access.
It has three major setbacks that provide terraces. For an additional fee, tenants can use an on-site business center and valet service is available. Some apartments have skylights and residences on the penthouse level have cabanas and a water spa.
The building, which is also known as 1-13 Cliff Street and 26-36 Gold Street, offers its residents complimentary breakfast weekdays in the lobby. It has a curved entrance marquee and high ceilings.
The building is convenient to the Financial District and the South Street Seaport. The neighborhood has good public transportation and a wide variety of shopping.
Avinash Malhotra was the architect for the conversion.
