If you can’t live like an industry titan, you can at least live where the industry titans used to work. Goldman Sachs’s old headquarters in NYC, now an apartment building, opened its leasing office yesterday, welcoming its first tenants to the light-filled rental units.
Silverstein Properties and Metro Loft bought the office tower last year and expect all 571 units to be complete by the middle of 2025, according to Bloomberg. Studio apartments are priced at $4,000 a month, with three-bedrooms at $10,000. The former bank headquarters at 55 Broad Street is the latest converted property in New York City as savvy developers look to use old, vacant buildings in a work-from-home world that’s left many offices and downtowns shuttered.
Why convert? To save money. Metro Loft CEO Nathan Berman estimates that when finished, the property conversion will cost roughly 60% of a wholly new apartment building. It also skirts the arduous permitting process required for new construction.
In New York, it’s gaining steam. A recent study found that office-to-residential conversion deals accounted for half of all development sales in Manhattan for the first half of this year.
Still, not all developers are cuckoo for converted real estate. It can be a headache—some buildings are easier to convert than others—and the pressures of dealing with zoning and regulations often make it difficult to secure financing.—CC
