Overview of Ocean at 1 West Street

Ocean, located at 1 West Street, is a full-service rental building in New York City's Financial District, offering a range of amenities and stunning views of Battery Park and New York Harbor. The building features a 24 hour doorman, a fully equipped fitness center, and a Venetian-style lobby with complimentary WiFi. Residents can enjoy a large outdoor plaza, a roof deck with views of the harbor, and private laundry facilities on every floor. The building is conveniently situated near multiple subway lines, providing easy access to the rest of the city.

Originally known as the Whitehall Building, Ocean was designed by Henry J. Hardenbergh and expanded by Clinton & Russell. The building has a rich architectural history, contributing to the iconic skyline of early 20th-century New York. In 1999, the Moinian Group acquired the upper portion of the complex and converted it into luxury rental apartments, including 10 duplex penthouses. The conversion was overseen by architect Avinash Malhotra.

Ocean offers a variety of apartment layouts, including studios, one and two-bedroom residences, and duplex penthouses. Common features include high ceilings, oak parquet floors, oversized windows, and state-of-the-art kitchens with granite countertops. The building also provides valet services, a business center, and on-site parking. Notably, Andrew Cuomo, former Governor of New York, has been a resident of the building.

The building's location offers proximity to historic Battery Park, the World Financial Center, and numerous dining and shopping options. Despite its distance from some typical neighborhood amenities, Ocean's residents benefit from the vibrant surroundings and the convenience of nearby public transportation.

This "luxury" Financial District high-rise offers "breathtaking views" from its "stunning roof deck" and boasts an "unbeatable location" near major transit hubs. While the "well-maintained" building features "clean, comfortable apartments" and "attentive doormen," residents note the "challenging elevator situation" and "premium pricing." The building's amenities include a "basic gym" and "seasonal roof access," though some find the "frequent maintenance issues" at odds with the luxury positioning. "Beautiful views" and "prime downtown location" make it "worth considering" for those seeking FiDi convenience, though "patience required" when dealing with building services.
