AKA Wall Street
South facade from William Street.
Recently, I toured the new AKA Wall Street, the latest location in Korman Communities' line of luxury extended stay residential developments with hotel services. Located in the heart of the Financial District, the development offers 132 fully furnished studio, 1 and 2 bedrooom long stay suites in the newly renovated and expanded 84 William Street. The original 17-story building by Howells & Stokes first opened in 1907 as the headquarters of the Royal Insurance Company.

As part of the residential conversion, Asfour Guzy Architects added a three-story addition atop the existing building to accommodate a rooftop lounge and outdoor terrace with private cinema. The rooftop addition also includes some of AKA Wall Street's 1 and 2 bedroom penthouse suites.
