Design

The design consists of 12 four-story cubes stacked on top of one another cantilevered off a central concrete column standing above an 8-story base. The lowest two cubes, as well as the entire base, would hold offices. The upper 10 cubes would each serve as individual residences. Each private cube would consist of about 10,336 square feet of area, as well as an outdoor garden. The residences would each cost up to $30 million USD, making them some of the most expensive residences in New York City. The United States dollar is the official currency of the United States. ...


Height

The building has a roof height of 826 feet (251.8 m), and the central core extends to become a spire that makes the building's official height rise to 1,123 feet (342.3 m).

History

The design for 80 South Street was first released to the public in 2003. Santiago Calatrava has stated that he took the idea for the building from a sculpture he created in 1985. The skyscraper received approval by the city in February 2005. The skyscraper will be built in Lower Manhattan on South Street. The site is currently occupied by an six-story red brick building.


Future

The Location of 80 South Street on the Lower Manhattan Waterfront

Although 80 South Street has been approved by the city, its future is still very uncertain. The building has not sold any one of its 10 multi-million dollar residential cubes, and it is unlikely that construction will commence until more units are sold.
