From the time One Manhattan Square was announced, the city’s architecture and real estate enthusiasts have followed its progress with great enthusiasm. The address at 252 South Street represented a departure for Extell Development Company, which is best known today for its work on Billionaires’ Row, and the design by Adamson Associates brings a soaring 80-story tower with a striking glass façade to the area. In the latest milestone for this transformative development, closings have commenced on the 815 lavishly appointed apartments within.

All units boast interiors by Meyer Davis Studios, high-end imported stone and custom finishes, and unbeatable light and views. From the premium Miele appliance package in the open gourmet kitchens to baths with radiant heated floors, marble tile walls, and Dornbact chrome fixtures, no detail is overlooked. Sales got off to a steady start, and remaining availabilities range from $1.216 million for a one-bedroom to $6.605 million for a three-bedroom in the Skyscape collection of top-floor residences. A 20-year tax abatement is anticipated.

As amazing as the apartments in One Manhattan Square are, its total of over 100,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities truly sets the building apart. It is surrounded by New York’s largest private urban park and offers a private motor court, garden rooms, tea pavilion, outdoor kitchen and dining area, fire pits, covered dog run, ping pong tables, adult treehouse, putting green, and stargazing observatory.

Inside, a multi-level, state-of-the-art fitness center offers indoor pools, a bowling alley, basketball court, golf simulator, squash court, and yoga studio. Wellness amenities include a spa centered around a sunken tranquility garden, a hammam with cold plunge pool, and private spa treatment rooms. Additional leisure amenities include a screening room and performance space, children’s playroom, game room, wine room, cigar room, culinary lounge, and cellar bar and demonstration kitchen.

With such an abundance of amenities, it would seem one hardly needs to leave One Manhattan Square. But given its prime location on the cusp of the Lower East Side, Chinatown, and the Financial District, that would be a mistake. Mega-development Essex Crossing and the resurgent South Street Seaport are a short walk away, as are Metrograph, hip Lower East Side cafes and bars, and the many culinary offerings of Chinatown. When it’s necessary to go further afield, the building is conveniently located near a new Grand Street ferry stop and several subway options.
