Overview of The Beacon Tower at 85 Adams Street

The Beacon Tower rises at 85 Adams Street, at the foot of the Manhattan Bridge. CetraRuddy Architects collaborated with Fisher Marantz Stone to design a gracefully setbacked pinnacle that soars high above DUMBO’s stalwart lofts. The top floors open upon dramatic panoramas of Downtown Manhattan, framed between the sinuous spans of the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges that stretch on either side of the building.
 

The building’s marketing mantra of “Zen-like calm” is reinforced with design consultancy by Benjamin Huntington, a Feng Shui expert, a private garden with a teahouse, ten-and-a-half-foot ceilings, and specially-designed windows that cut the decibel level of outdoor noise by more than half. Additional amenities include a 24-hour concierge, fitness center, landscaped roof terraces, and indoor parking.
