The Financial District, sometimes referred to as FiDi, is one of Manhattans fastest-growing residential neighborhoods. Over the past decade, new luxury condo developments, parks and retail and shopping venues have sprung up, changing the physical landscape of what was once mainly a hub for financial powerhouses.
Five Nine Johns Lofts at 59 John Street is one such luxury condo development that was once an office building built in the 1900s. Conversion to condos began in 2004 and the residences were completed in 2007. The facade is brick and was repointed, windows were changed to become oversized and four floors were added to the now nine-story building, with a 6,000 square foot retail base, to accommodate the 73 studio to three-bedroom luxury units within.
