David Adjaye, the architect best known for designing the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture, designs a Tower for the Financial District in New York.

The new project is David Adjaye’s first skyscraper. It will be a 66-story condominium building that will rise about 800 feet located at 130 William Street in the financial district.

The residential building will have an extensive amenities package including a large health and wellness center with a spa, basketball court and yoga studio; an IMAX private theater; a golf simulator; a children’s play center; and an indoor-outdoor lounge with a catering kitchen.

At the top of the building will be an open-air observatory with shared lounge space and grilling stations, as well as private cabanas available for purchase. At street level will be a verdant plaza designed by Adjaye Associates and Weintraub Diaz Landscape Architecture, inspired by the pocket parks of Midtown Manhattan created in the 1960s and 1970s.

Studios will begin at about $650,000, one-bedrooms at about $1.11 million, two-bedrooms at about $1.85 million, three-bedrooms at about $2.6 million, and four-bedrooms at about $5.42 million.
