About 28 Liberty Street

28 Liberty Street is a 60-story tower in the International Style, once called One Chase Manhattan Plaza, set on a block bounded by Pine, William, Liberty and Nassau Streets in Manhattan's Financial District. The architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) designed it, and Gordon Bunshaft had charge of the general design. It opened in 1961 and rises 813 feet (248 m), which made it the Financial District's third-tallest building on completion and the first curtain-walled building to pass 800 feet (240 m).

In the 1950s David Rockefeller, who then held the post of executive vice president at Chase Manhattan Bank, put the tower forward. His aim was to keep the newly merged bank in Lower Manhattan and house its 8,700 employees in a single facility. Work began in early 1957, the tower opened in early 1961, and the basements and plaza opened in 1964. Chase's headquarters left the building in 1997, and the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission gave it landmark status. In 2013 JPMorgan Chase sold it to the Chinese investment company Fosun International, and it was renamed 28 Liberty Street.

The tower takes up only around 28 percent of the site's 2.5 acres (1.0 ha) and is surrounded by a plaza, where Isamu Noguchi designed a sunken Japanese rock garden on the south side. The tower is a single slab, so each floor has the same area, because Chase wanted its upper floors to appeal to tenants as much as the lower ones. The facade has 8,800 panes of plate glass, each 8 feet (2.4 m) high and 5 feet (1.5 m) wide.

Fine vertical lines on the slab
Narrow vertical lines run the full height of the plain rectangular tower. Layers of 0.12–0.16 mm keep them crisp, and Print friendly adapts the thinnest lines to the print scale.
Tight gaps between towers
The tower stands among many tall neighbors with narrow gaps between them. A larger print size keeps those gaps open, and Full detail suits a fine nozzle.
One piece with the ground
28 Liberty Street is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
Pick the detail for your nozzle
In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
Colors
Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. 28 Liberty Street takes the building color.
File format
You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
