Some information on the tower:
February 23, 2004
Since it converted 45 Wall Street from an office building to a residential high rise in 1997, family-owned and -operated Rockrose Development has been investing in Lower Manhattan's "24-hour live/work/play community." The company is now building a 51-story residential tower at 2 Gold Street, where two smaller office buildings once stood.
The 2 Gold Building will bring 650 luxury rental apartments to the historic Financial District. A public plaza will surround the foot of the tower, and tower residents will also have access to on-site parking, a fitness center, and a 2,000-square-foot rooftop solarium.
Already a highly residential neighborhood -- with nearly 7,500 total residents anticipated by 2005 -- the immediate area surrounding 2 Gold Street was once known as "Golden Hill" for the golden wheat originally planted there by the 18th century Dutch. With a new streetscape, 23,000 square feet of new retail space, and an arts center currently being planned for Gold Street, Golden Hill is poised for an urban revival.
The 2 Gold Street tower is slated to open February 2005.
