Rising prominently along Manhattan’s East River waterfront, 55 Water Street is one of New York City’s most significant commercial landmarks. This 53-story International Style skyscraper, designed by the renowned architectural firm Emery Roth & Sons, is a commanding presence in the heart of the Financial District. Completed in the early 1970s, it remains one of the largest office buildings in the city, encompassing approximately 3.5–3.6 million square feet of Class A office space across a four-acre superblock.
