Construction Update: Pearl House at 160 Water Street
Construction is nearing completion at Vanbarton Group’s Pearl House, an office-to-rental conversion in the Seaport district in Lower Manhattan. Led by Gensler, this is the city’s largest office-to-residential conversion to date. Interventions to the existing office tower include altering building cores, retrofitting operable windows, and new floors on top of the existing structures.
When completed, the development will offer over 30,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor private club-inspired amenities over three floors. The lobby will feature a sculptural brass staircase along with lounges and a reception desk. The concourse level below will offer a Technogym, bowling alley, sports simulator, game room, craft-making workspace, children’s playroom, children’s playroom, pet grooming salon, spa, and interconnected social lounges. Floor 28 will feature a terrace, lounges, co-working space, a player’s lounge with a sports book room, a full size bar, and chef’s kitchen.
