80 South Street

Architect Santiago Calatrava
Status: Proposed

… Fresh from causing a sensation with his avian design for the World Trade Center transportation hub, the architect and artist Santiago Calatrava is ready to make a second startling mark on the Lower Manhattan skyline with a residential tower unlike any New York has ever seen.

… Resembling some of Mr. Calatrava ‘s sculptures, but on a titanic scale of 835 feet, the tower would rise over the East River at South and Fletcher Streets, near the South Street Seaport and the Brooklyn Bridge. The developer, Frank J. Sciame, estimated its completion in 2006 or 2007.

… The tower would replace a six-story red-brick building at 80 South Street, upland from the sailing ship Wavertree, that serves as the headquarters of Sciame

Development and the F. J. Sciame Construction Company.
