Overview of Rector Place at 225 Rector Place

225 Rector Place is a 23-story full-service condominium in Battery Park City with luxury amenities and a serem location near the Hudson River waterfront. Originally built in 1986 by Gruzen Samton Steinglass for Related Companies, the building was converted in 2007 under architect Richard J. DeMarco, with interiors by Clodagh. The 289-unit red-brick building features refinished floors and updated bathrooms with soaking tubs.

Amenities include a 24-hour attended lobby, a two-story fitness center, yoga studio, indoor atrium-style pool, steam room, resident lounge, children’s playroom, and a landscaped roof deck with lounge seating, grilling stations, and sweeping views of the Hudson River, Statue of Liberty, and downtown skyline. Residents also enjoy a large laundry facility, dry-cleaning valet, and a live-in superintendent.

Praised for its elegant design, the building features limestone cladding on its lower floors and two-toned brick façades above, with a roofline accentuated by two peaks. Its vertical façade design creates a striking yet harmonious presence in the Battery Park City skyline.

Situated near Rector Park, the Esplanade, Brookfield Place, and Hudson River Park, 225 Rector Place is surrounded by outdoor activities, dining, and shopping. Its proximity to the Rector Place footbridge provides easy access to the Financial District, as well as convenient transportation options, including multiple subway lines, PATH trains, and the WTC Transit Hub.
