Overview of New York Plaza at 2 Water Street

New York Plaza, located at the southern tip of Manhattan, is a striking 17-story reflective-glass tower originally built in 1886 as the United States Army Building. It was redesigned and expanded in 1986 by Schuman, Lichtenstein, Claman & Efron and converted into luxury rental apartments in 2009 by Pan Am Equities. The building offers 97 apartments with floor-to-ceiling windows, providing abundant natural light and spectacular water views.

The apartments feature high-end finishes, including Italian marble countertops, oak strip flooring, and top-of-the-line appliances such as Sub-Zero, Viking, and Miele. Units range from studios to expansive penthouses, with notable configurations like Penthouse C, a two-bedroom unit with a home office, and Apartment E, a two-bedroom unit with a large living/dining area.

Residents enjoy a comprehensive suite of amenities, including a 5,000 square foot landscaped roof deck with cabanas and an outdoor cinema, a full-time concierge, and a New York Health & Racquet Club fitness center membership. Indoor amenities include a club lounge, billiards room, poker room, children's playroom, and a 24/7 doorman.

The building's location is convenient to Battery Park and the South Street Seaport, making it an attractive option for those seeking a vibrant urban lifestyle with access to both leisure and business districts.
