Aerie – noun: A house or stronghold perched on a height.

At the pinnacle of one of the most historic buildings in New York City you will find a sleek and rare one bedroom Penthouse offering impeccable scale and volume that was beautifully renovated by GW Design. The modernist interior is 1,050+ square feet while outside is a 700 square foot private wraparound terrace that can be accessed from both the public and private rooms. A life en plein-air whenever desired.

The loft-like living and dining room enjoys gorgeous light from its corner architectural position and the large, crisp walls are the perfect backdrop to display your favorite art.

The sumptuous bedroom is a soothing retreat offering generous space to relax as day turns into night. There is also a limestone bathroom with deep soaking tub & spa shower, in-home washer & dryer and a designer Chef’s kitchen with Sub-Zero, Bosch & Miele appliances.

The striking contemporary lines of the apartment are complimented beautifully by the elegant edifice it is a part of. The original Greek Revival building was completed in 1842 by Isaiah Rogers, who served as the Supervising Architect for the United States.

In 1910 the legendary firm of McKim, Mead and White expanded the structure, creating the masterpiece that remains today. Both a New York City and National Historic Landmark, it is also on the National Register of Historic Places and is a contributing member to the Wall Street Historic District.

The former National City Bank Building, which at one time hosted the New York Stock Exchange and The United States Customs House is now known as the Cipriani Club Residences, a Condominium for a global collective who appreciate the superb level of on-site services that includes a 24 hour concierge, full-time door staff, a magnificent wood-paneled library, multiple gathering rooms, bi-level fitness center and landscaped roof-deck. Just a short stroll from the front door you can find The Tin Building, the brand new culinary wonder by Jean-Georges along with a myriad collection of additional world-class shops, cafes and numerous adventures to partake in.

There are a legion of reasons that The Financial District is such a desired place to live and Penthouse 900 is found at the top of the list.
