About 25 Water Street (SoMA)
Where Water Street meets Broad Street in Manhattan's Financial District, 25 Water Street, which is also called 4 New York Plaza, adjoins 125 Broad Street on its south side and Vietnam Veterans Plaza on the east. Construction began in 1967 and finished in 1969, and offices occupied the building from 1969 until 2022. Carson, Lundin & Shaw designed it in the Brutalist style, and its first tenants arrived just 26 months after design began.
It was designed as an operations center for the Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company, which processed its banking work there, including the collecting and recording of checks. To cool 1960s mainframe computers more efficiently, the 3rd to 15th floors had relatively few narrow windows, while the 2nd floor and the top seven floors had more. Its reddish-brown brick was picked to echo Dutch-era New Amsterdam buildings like the Stadt Huys Site. It received an architectural award in its era.
JPMorgan Chase owned it by the 1990s, and the bank sold it in December 2009 to buyers named Capstone Equities and Harbor Group International. The New York Daily News moved in during June 2011. Flooding from Superstorm Sandy in 2012 hit it hard, and the biggest tenants stayed away until late 2013. The Daily News closed its newsroom there in 2020, and in 2023 a process of converting the building to apartments began.
