75 Wall Street

75 Wall Street is a 43-story mixed-use building in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan in New York City. It contains Hyatt Centric Wall Street New York, a hotel with 253 rooms managed by Blue Sky Hospitality. Designed by Welton Becket & Associates and developed by London & Leeds as an office building, 75 Wall Street was announced in 1984 as the North American headquarters of British bank Barclays. After the building opened in 1987, several firms leased space in the building. JPMorgan Chase acquired 75 Wall Street from Barclays in 2005, and the Hakimian Organization and Peykar Brothers Realty purchased the building later that year. The upper floors were converted to 346 residential condominiums in 2009, while the lower floors opened as the Andaz Wall Street hotel in January 2010. Navika Capital acquired the hotel in 2022 and rebranded it as Hyatt Centric Wall Street New York.

In April 1984, British bank Barclays announced it would construct a 36-story headquarters at the southwest corner of Wall Street and Water Street. The building, developed by British firm London & Leeds, was the first to be erected directly on Wall Street in fifteen years. Welton Becket Associates was hired as architect for the building, which was variously cited as containing a floor area of 660,000 ft2 (61,000 m2) or 640,000 ft2 (59,000 m2). Barclays would occupy 300,000 ft2 (28,000 m2) as part of its headquarters and sublet the remainder of the space, consolidating employees from several other locations in Manhattan. As designed, each of the first 28 office floors was planned with 18,500 ft2 (1,720 m2) of floor area, while the top floors were set back and were slightly smaller. Manufacturers Hanover Corporation financed the development, which was projected to cost $200 million. There was high demand for office space in the Financial District at the time, and 75 Wall Street was one of eight new office buildings in the area with available space. 75 Wall Street's development involved a three-month-long archeological study of the site, though construction proceeded as scheduled. Items excavated from the site included a crock with the marking "C. Crolius"; the crock was linked to Clarkso
