Architect Cass Gilbert traveled across Europe’s medieval cities to draw inspiration for the Woolworth Building, a 1913 Neo-Gothic masterpiece originally commissioned by retail magnate F.W. Woolworth. Though the 792-foot skyscraper no longer ranks as the world’s tallest, the beloved landmark continues to evoke awe and admiration.
In 2018, the slender upper portion was converted into 32 elite condominiums starting on the 29th floor with interiors by world-renowned architect Thierry W. Despont. Arched windows look out through colorful terra-cotta niches onto the Downtown skyline. The wide setbacks have become twin courtyards-in-the-sky, surrounded by parapets of cusped tracery and copper finials. At the top, the former observatory and the copper-clad pinnacle house a stunning, multi-level penthouse. Of the amenities--a temperature-controlled wine cellar and tasting room, bike room, 29th floor Gilbert Lounge, and 30th floor fitness center, hot tub and sauna with changing rooms--the most impressive is the restored 50-foot basement pool, which was originally commissioned by Mr. Woolworth himself.
