Built in 2008, 155 residences across 82 floors.
30 Park Place, 10007
30 Park Place was designed by Robert A. M. Stern Architects, eighty two storeys and the tallest residential building in Lower Manhattan, with interiors by the same practice.
The elevation is limestone over precast concrete, drawn with setbacks that taper the tower as it rises and detailing that refers to the New York towers of the 1920s and 1930s. Residences occupy the upper part of the building above the hotel floors.
Ceilings run from about ten feet to about fourteen, so the vertical scale differs between apartments and has to be taken per residence. Floors are solid white oak, which can be sanded and refinished in place rather than lifted and replaced.
The setbacks are the other thing to check before planning. Apartments at a setback have a terrace where apartments elsewhere have a window, and a terrace brings a door, a threshold and an outdoor floor level into the room. Plates also shrink as the tower tapers, so upper floors are smaller and their plans are not the plans below.
