A Historic Landmark in Manhattan’s Financial District Offered at $45,000,000
 A Neoclassical Revival-style townhouse, occupying an entire city block in the heart of Lower Manhattan's historic Financial District, is being offered for $45,000,000 by Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales, an exclusive affiliate of Christie's Great Estates.
Located at the corner of Broad Street and Beaver Street, just steps from the New York Stock Exchange, which can be seen from several of its rooms, this beautiful granite palazzo is designated as an individual landmark in a special Landmark District. Originally constructed in 1908 by the renowned architectural firm of Kirby, Petit & Green, it stood as the headquarters of the American Bank Note Company, where currencies were engraved a century ago.
After an extensive renovation in 2009, this unique property now stands as a splendid five-story, 15,218-square-foot townhouse. The magnificent home is adorned with marble floors, crystal chandeliers, and high-quality finishes throughout and features a versatile layout, with elevator service to all five floors. The lower levels are currently utilized for business with meeting, conference, and office spaces, while the top three floors feature three elegant full-floor private residences. This property, which benefits from street-level entrances on three sides and handicapped access, is equipped with central air conditioning as well as a state-of-the-art Cisco video teleconferencing room. Thanks to very favorable zoning rules, it can be used for residential, office, retail, hotel, or mixed residential-commercial purposes. Click here for more information.
