Overview of 99 John Street

99 John Deco Lofts, originally constructed in 1933 as an office building, is a distinguished Art Deco structure designed by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon, the same architects behind the Empire State Building. The 27-story limestone-clad building was converted to rental apartments in 1999 and later transformed into 442 condominium units in 2007. The building's marble lobby still features its original murals by artist Giancarlo Impligia.

The residences feature pre-war architectural elements including 11-14 foot beamed ceilings, with some units offering skylights and penthouse levels featuring private cabanas. The building is characterized by three major setbacks that create terrace spaces, and units offer various layouts with modern finishes. The property, also known as 1-13 Cliff Street and 26-36 Gold Street, was converted under architect Avinash Malhotra.

Residents enjoy comprehensive amenities including 24-hour doorman service, two roof decks, a fifth-floor Zen garden with grills, a residents' lounge featuring a fireplace and billiards, a screening room, fitness center, and available garage parking. The building's Financial District location provides easy access to the South Street Seaport, Fulton Center transportation hub, and numerous dining and shopping destinations including Whole Foods, Eataly, and Pier 17.

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "FiDi gem" offers "prime location" near the Fulton transit hub in a "striking art deco conversion" featuring a "grand marble lobby" and "spectacular roof deck views." The "well-maintained" building delivers "hotel-like service" with "responsive doormen" and boasts "soaring ceilings" that create "bright, airy spaces." While the "basic amenities" include a "compact gym" and "community spaces," it's the "incredible access" to downtown attractions and transit that draws a "vibrant mix" of residents. Some note it's "not ultra-luxury" but offers "solid value" for the neighborhood, though "construction noise" can be an issue. "Perfect for young professionals" seeking a "clean, convenient home base" in lower Manhattan.
