Work Continues For 45 Broad Street, The Financial District’s First Impending Residential Supertall
Quote:
As of right now, there are two pile drivers, two excavators, and multiple large hollow pipes that are being pounded into the earth to form a stable foundation before the superstructure rises. Since excavation for 45 Broad started back in May, progress has been a little slow given the logistical difficulties of bringing materials in and out of the site. The front elevation sits along a section of Broad Street where vehicular traffic is limited, and must pass through a security checkpoint. The only other road that leads to the site is in the rear, accessible through a garage door that’s part of the residential tower at 15 William Street.
The bottom floors will have the main entrance, offices, and amenities. The residential units will start 240 feet above street level, and go up as high as 950 feet, before yielding to the sloped crown decorated with a weave of thin overlapping bronze panels. People living in the building will be able to see the entire skyline of Lower Manhattan, the confluence of the Hudson and East Rivers, Jersey City to the west, Brooklyn to the east, and views of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge to the south.
45 Broad’s position among the skyline will put it far enough from other tall buildings like 40 Wall Street, 60 Wall Street, 70 Pine Street and 20 Exchange Place, so that it stands unchallenged in both height and architectural design.
Completion of the project is expected around 2021, but that means vertical ascension has to happen sometime before next summer.
