125 Greenwich Street (also known as22 Thames Street) is a residentialskyscraper in theFinancial District inLower Manhattan,New York City. The tower is two blocks south ofOne World Trade Center on the site of the formerWestern Electric building, and directly across from the site of the demolishedDeutsche Bank Building. The building was designed by architectRafael Viñoly, with interiors designed by British duo March & White. The tower stands at a height of 912 feet (278 m), making it the29th tallest building in the city.
The original building at this address was a 10-story telephone factory built in 1888–1889 forWestern Electric and sold in the 1980s to theAmerican Stock Exchange. It was demolished decades later by further property investors for the skyscraper.[2] In September 2014, it was announced that the tower would stand 1,356 feet (413 m), with 77 floors and 128 residential units.[3] The foundation of the building was completed in June 2016.[4] In 2017, the building's height was revised to 912 feet (278 m), with 88 floors and 273 units.[5]
Sales of the building's residences first began in 2017.[6] Sales of condos in the building were slow,[7] and were eventually paused, but resumed in 2024.[8]
On the morning of March 20, 2024, a fire occurred on the roof of the building.[9] The fire was caused by welding igniting insulation, and theNew York City Fire Department was able to extinguish the fire.[9]
The tower has distinctly rounded corners with curved floor-to-ceiling glass. The building is nearly column-free, and two I-beam-shaped shear walls that run vertically through the slender tower support the floors of the building.[10] The top three floors contain amenities including entertainment space, private dining rooms, a fitness center, lap pool, and a spa. The building will contain 272 apartments that will come in studios through three-bedroom variants.[11]
