T
he former Goldman Sachs headquarters at 55 Broad St. is being converted into luxury apartments, with prices ranging from $4,000 to $10,000 per month. The 36-story building, which served as Goldman's home from 1967 to 1983, has been transformed by developers Metro Lost and Silverstein Properties into 571 units. Renters will have access to a rooftop swimming pool, breathtaking views of the New York skyline, and upscale amenities such as a fitness center, pet-washing stations, and grilling areas.

    The building was only 60% occupied before being purchased for $173 million last year, but developers are optimistic about its potential. "It used to be the consolation prize, now it's a destination for people and a very reliable neighborhood," said Metro Lost CEO Nathan Berman. The area has undergone significant changes since the pandemic, with new businesses such as Whole Foods and a food hall opening nearby.

    Residents will enjoy high-end finishes in their apartments, including 10-foot ceilings, oversized windows, custom Italian kitchens, and luxurious bathrooms. The developers are considering offering 25% of the units as affordable housing in exchange for tax breaks, which would align with New York state's efforts to encourage redevelopment and address the city's real estate shortage.
