120 Wall Street, Lower Manhattan, New York
120 Wall Street is a 399-foot-tall skyscraper in Lower Manhattan’s Financial District, completed in 1930. Designed by architect Ely Jacques Kahn of Buchman & Kahn, the building has 34 floors and features a classic wedding-cake design with tiered setbacks. It occupies a 23,000-square-foot lot and offers 615,000 square feet of space. Originally owned by Greenmal Holding Corporation, the building was financed with a $4 million loan and cost an estimated $12 million to build. Its first major tenant was the American Sugar Refining Company. In 1980, Silverstein Properties acquired the building, which became New York City’s only Association Center in 1992, offering reduced rents to non-profits. Notable tenants include the National Urban League and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
