Cipriani Club Residences at 55 Wall Street is a condo situated in a 19th-century designated landmark with a location, architecture, history, and extensive amenities that few other condos can match, once described in a New York Times article as a property that “may be the most service-oriented new condominium project in New York City.”
In 1841, noted architect Isaiah Rogers constructed the Merchants’ Exchange in grand Greek Revival Style; in 1907, the National City Bank acquired the building and added four more floors behind a second colonnade row, designed by McKim, Mead, and White. Restaurateur Cipriani converted the property in 2006, transforming the grand banking hall, once the world’s largest, into a restaurant and event space, described by author Bill Harris as “one of the world’s most elegant ballrooms.” Another restaurant nestles within the bank’s former vault; both venues offer preferential access to the condo residents.
Apartments come with tall ceilings, hardwood floors, unusually broad windows for pre-war buildings (particularly those that look through the Wall Street-facing colonnade), and stone- and wood-trimmed bathrooms.
The Residences offer the services of a 24-hour doorman, lobby attendant, porter, butler, round-the-clock concierge, and housekeeping, as well as preferential access to on-site restaurants, newspaper delivery, private storage, dry cleaning and laundry services, personal/grocery shopping and delivery services, postal and messenger service, lifestyle consulting, flowers and plant care, fresh flower service, dog-sitting and animal grooming, child care, packing and unpacking, plus discounted rates for private events in all Cipriani banquet venues. Amenities include a fitness center, a spa, a classically-styled billiards room, a library, a children’s playroom, a screening room, bicycle storage, and more. Outdoor spaces include a courtyard garden and a landscaped roof deck that looks out to the Financial District’s mythical skyline.
