Tower 270 is a minimalist 28-story building erected in 1930 that served as offices for New York State departments before being partially converted to condominiums in 2003. The building offers spectacular views, large layouts, and a prime location near City Hall, the World Trade Center, and TriBeCa. Currently, 1 apartment is for sale.
Tower 270, also known as 80 Chambers Street, is a 28 story building erected in 1930 at the southwest corner of Broadway and Chambers Street. Originally serving as the Arthur Levitt State Office Building for various New York State departments, it was sold by the state in 2000 for $33.6 million, the highest valued property sale ever consummated by New York State at that time. In 2003, developer RAL Companies converted the top 13 floors into 39 condominium apartments ranging from 1,998 to 8,117 square feet, with Studio Petrarca designing 17 different floor plans. The building retains approximately 100,000 square feet of offices on floors 2 through 7 and 48 rental apartments on floors 8 through 15. A notable piece of history: in 1942, the 18th floor housed the Army Corps of Engineers division that oversaw the Manhattan Project.
The condominium residences feature dramatic loft proportions with 10 to 10.5 foot beamed ceilings and oversized windows providing multiple exposures and panoramic views spanning from the Hudson River to the Brooklyn Bridge. Common finishes include open chef's kitchens with islands, Sub-Zero refrigerators, Miele and Wolf appliances, and Bulthaup cabinetry. Bathrooms typically feature Philippe Starck soaking tubs, Dornbracht fixtures, and honed limestone or marble. Floor plans range from one bedroom units around 1,000 square feet to a triplex penthouse with an 800 square foot private terrace. Many apartments include in-unit washer/dryers and private storage units on the same floor.
Tower 270 operates as a full service condominium with a 24 hour doorman, concierge, and live-in resident manager. Amenities include three fitness centers, laundry facilities on every floor, a children's playroom, teen media lounge, conference room, bike storage, and a landscaped rooftop terrace with 360 degree views of the city skyline and Hudson River. The building recently completed lobby renovations and Local Law 11 façade work. The property is pet friendly and features an Art Deco lobby that reflects its prewar heritage.
The location directly across from City Hall Park offers residents proximity to TriBeCa's dining and shopping scene, Whole Foods, Target, Brookfield Place, and the World Trade Center complex. Transportation options are exceptional, with R/W, A/C/E, 1/2/3, 4/5/6, J/Z and PATH trains all within two blocks. The building provides views of the Municipal Building, Brooklyn Bridge, and City Hall, positioning residents at the convergence of the Financial District, TriBeCa, and Lower Manhattan's civic center.
