The Downtown Club at 20 West Street is a 288 unit condominium conversion of the landmarked Downtown Athletic Club, completed in 2006 by The Moinian Group. The 35 story, 534 foot Art Deco tower was designed by Starrett & Van Vleck in 1930, the same firm behind Saks Fifth Avenue, Lord & Taylor, and a major Bloomingdales expansion. Designated an official New York City landmark in 2000, the building features mottled orange brick with elegant corbelling and setbacks that create a distinctive silhouette in the Financial District skyline. The building was historically significant as the home of the Heisman Memorial Trophy, awarded annually to college football's most outstanding player.
Apartments range from studios starting around 365 square feet to rare duplex units approaching 1,850 square feet. Most units feature loft style layouts with high ceilings ranging from 9 to 16 feet, with 10 to 11 foot ceilings being most common. Open kitchens with stainless steel appliances, marble bathrooms, and hardwood floors are standard. Many units offer sweeping views of the Hudson River, New York Harbor, the Statue of Liberty, and the Manhattan skyline. The building is investor friendly, permitting short term rentals with a 30 day minimum lease term, and welcomes pied-à-terre buyers and pets of all sizes.
Residents enjoy over 12,000 square feet of amenities including a state-of-the-art fitness center with yoga studio, massage room, steam room, and sauna. Additional facilities include a screening room, billiards room, residents lounge with complimentary Wi-Fi, and landscaped roof decks offering 360 degree views. The building provides 24 hour doorman and concierge service, valet service, an on-site resident manager, bicycle storage, and laundry facilities.
