Evolution of the Lower Manhattan Skyline

100+ years of evolution of the Manhattan FiDi skyline. Read more here: www.commercialcafe.com/blog/s...
1. The Equitable Building - Year built: 1915
Its shadow blocked sunlight from so many properties, that the ensuing uproar resulted in the 1916 Building Zone Resolution, which dictated future towers be built with setbacks and stepped façades.
2. 39 Broadway - Year built: 1928
Built on the site formerly occupied by the Alexander Macomb House, which briefly served as the Second Presidential Mansion for the George Washington household in 1790.
3. The Trump Building at 40 Wall Street - Year built: 1930
Part of the three-story penthouse Trump residence was used as a filming location for the 1997 movie The Devil's Advocate.
4. 70 Pine Street - Year built: 1932
One of the last Art Deco towers to be built in NYC, was the first to employ the innovative double-deck elevator system, of which there are still very few in the world.
5. 28 Liberty - Year built: 1963
Lower Manhattan's first International Style skyscraper, envisioned by David Rockefeller as a striking contrast to the sea of 19th-century spires dotting the skyline.
6. 55 Water Street - Year built: 1973
The 3.64 million-square-foot structure is the largest in New York City by floor area, with One World Trade Center as its closest contender.
7. AT&T Long Lines Building at 33 Thomas Street - Year built: 1974
The brutalist building was designed to withstand nuclear fallout, and to make it possible for 1,500 people to survive inside its walls for up to two weeks.
8. Brookfield Place (World Financial Center) - Year built: 1986
Built on landfill consisting mostly of dirt excavated for the construction of World Trade Center. The complex has its own zip code: 10281.
9. 60 Wall Street - Year built: 1989
Bears the world’s tallest roof-mounted solar array - 737 feet above street level - commissioned by Deutsche Bank in 2011.
10. 7 World Trade Center - Year built: 2006
Set the standard for the new World Trade Center master plan. Was the first commercial building in NYC to receive a LEED Certification (Gold).

    If you go to the one world trade center and go to the observatory deck, there's a special elevator you take that's part of the experience. There's screens as walls in the elevators. They show the history of lower Manhattan's skyline. You can see them built and disappear soon after. I got choked up both times I've seen it

I see why people wanted the towers rebuilt just as much as I see the reasons not to rebuild them. Also, I disagree because I believe rebuilding in the first place showed terrorists that they did not and cannot win. The towers were attacked because of economic power in the first place, and rebuilding shows economic strength/perseverance. The tower in itself is a success no matter how it looks; I understand your opinions nonetheless.

    Both towers of original wtc required over six stories of dirt to be removed for each towers foundation to be poured which would also include the subterranean garage below the towers. That dirt would cost too much to haul a great distance so they simply dumped it into the water and created the landfill that is now Battery Park. So tecnically a part of the world trade center is still here. Something to think about while you're strolling through battery park.

    Yes, that was missing here. It was demolished to make way for the original world trade center. The floor plans were too small and unable to meet the needs of modern office buildings, sadly. It was a very unusual design, with the top actually larger than the rest of the building, unlike most skyscrapers.

    José Ortiz is correct. Singer building was replaced by One Liberty Plaza, across from Zuccotti Park, formerly Liberty Plaza Park, recently known for being the base camp of the Occupy Movement. Singer Building was gorgeous and very cool. I wish it had been kept, it was the tallest building in the world for about a year after it was built, 1908 - 1909.

    Agreed JP. The tearing down of The Singer Building about 1963 as a New York City architectural travesty just like tearing out the old Astor, Claridge, Drake, Ambassador, Biltmore and Savoy hotel. I won't even mention the destruction of the old Pennsylvania Station in 1962-66 to build that hot dog grease pit Madison Square Garden. Can you imagine how stately the Singer Building and her lit crown at night would look with late 19th, early twentieth century architecture and the new modern towers of the New World Trade Center Freedom Tower complex with the Municipal, Woolworth, Cities Services Building and the copper redo done in 1990 Bank of Manhattan at 40 Wall now one of Trump's Buildings????? The Singer Building would've looked like a beauty like the Con-Edison Building on 14th and Irving Place or the Metropolitan and Equitable Life beauties at Madison Square Park at 23rd and 25th Street along lower Madison Avenue.

    You never mentioned one of the tallest and unknown buildings in 1950 that was a beautiful Art Deco piece being replaced with 60 a Wall Street building. It used to be a beautiful super high skyscraper (87 stories) and incredibly thin (12 meters around) after the first 37 stories that counted as a base to hold it. If you search up financial District 1950's then you will see just how tall it was; and yet no one remembers...

Just couldn't do it. But when we were there it was smelly, dusty and looking at the parking garage was just concrete jammed and in smitherines. Spent very much days and nights on it. Just look, ten years helping it be back together again... Was hard for us because we couldn't bare seeing the building that made New York great and amazing destroyed. Almost 40 years old now, I still have not gone to see 100% of it finished, I can't go. It's too much for me. I can't even look on the internet.
