Title	37 Wall Street, Financial District, Manhattan
Description	A communal mezzanine roof deck with a center opening give an atrium effect to the courtyard levels below, 1. Downtown by Starck at 15 Broad at the southeast corner at Wall Street directly across Wall Street from Federal Hall National Memorial and directly across Broad Street from the New York Stock Exchange, this conversion project of two commercial structures to condominium apartments has the most impressive Lower Manhattan location and the city's best residential building roof deck. It consists of the five-story building at 23 Wall Street that originally was the headquarters of J. P. Morgan's banking operations and the 42-story office building that wraps around it and was originally the Equitable Trust Building. The building at 23 Wall Street was built in 1914, one year after the death of J. P. Morgan, and it was linked in 1957 to 15 Broad Street. In 2003, A. I. & Boymelgreen of Brooklyn bought these two buildings for $100 million and announced plans to spend about $135 million on their renovation and conversion into 326 apartments. The very large roof deck over 23 Wall Street has trees, teak decking, a large pool fed by a tall, crook-shaped pipe, looking like a giant faucet, and a topiary wall with window-like openings in which lanterns will hang.� One of the roof deck's great vistas is of highly decorative pediment of the New York Stock Exchange. Other views include some of the city's great skyscrapers. Ismael Leyva was the project architect for the conversion working with Philippe Starck, the flamboyant French architect best known for his design that put furniture with extremely spiky points in the lobby at the Royalton Hotel on West 44th Street. 15 Broad Street was designed by Trowbridge & Livingston in 1928.
