8 Spruce Street, originally known as Beekman Tower and currently marketed as New York by Gehry. 76-story skyscraper designed by architect Frank Gehry in the New York City borough of Manhattan at 8 Spruce Street, just south of City Hall Plaza and the Brooklyn Bridge.
The school is sheathed reddish-tan brick, and covers 100,000 square feet (9,300 m2) of the first five floors of the building.
Above the elementary school is a 903-unit luxury residential tower clad in stainless steel. The apartments range from 500 to 1,600 square feet (150 m2), and consist of studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom units. All units are priced at market-rate, with no low or moderate income-restricted apartments.
The building also includes space for New York Downtown Hospital. The hospital will take up 25,000 square feet (2,300 m2), and will have public parking below ground.
-Have you been here already? How was it? We would love to hear what you thought about this place in NY. Share your thoughts with other New Yorkers.
This is a freaky looking building...almost defies engineering principles! Future plans include adding a hospital which really freaked me out when I heard...this building is going to have it all...why bother to leave...LOL
