Why 8 Spruce?
PRIME LOCATION
It can be hard to decide which neighborhood to move to within New York City because there’s simply so many, but we firmly believe that the Financial District is an ideal neighborhood to choose. Located on the southern tip of the island, the Financial District, or FiDi, is home to many offices and headquarters of many of the city's major financial institutions, including the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the New York Stock Exchange. In addition to being a financial hub, FiDi is also one of the most historical neighborhoods of Manhattan. Plus, you can’t walk too far without hitting a transportation station. 8 Spruce is conveniently located a 3-minute walk from multiple bus stations as well as a 6-minute walk from the Brooklyn Bride-City Hall subway station and a 3-minute walk from the Chambers Street subway station. FiDi is also filled with amazing restaurants, bars, and cafes that are guaranteed to impress.

DESIGN & HISTORY
Most famous for his unique architecture, Frank Gehry designed 8 Spruce, both externally and internally. In 2006, construction began on what was then known as the Beekman Tower and New York by Gehry, and was completed in 2010, with an opening in February of 2011. With 76 floors standing 870 feet high, 8 Spruce became the tallest residential building in the Western Hemisphere. Though it was surpassed in height by the Central Park Tower in 2020, it remains among the tallest residential buildings in the world and renowned for its unique shape that makes it an icon in the NYC Skyline.
