PROGRESS AT 25 WATER
Yimby got some updated images on the conversion of 25 Water, the 32-story office building designed by CetraRuddy and developed by GFP Real Estate, Metro Loft Management, and Rockwood Capital. From Yimby: “The project involves the replacement of the building’s brick façade with a modern fenestration featuring more expansive windows, a gut renovation of its 1.1 million square feet of interiors, and the construction of ten new stories above its former parapet. The overhaul will yield 1,300 apartments, making it the largest office-to-residential conversion in US history by unit count, surpassing the 566-unit redevelopment of One Wall Street a few streets to the north.”
