Also known as the Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown, 30 Park Place is an 82-story hotel and residential skyscraper in Tribeca designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects and completed in 2016. At 926 feet, it ranks among the tallest residential buildings in Lower Manhattan, combining a 189-room Four Seasons Hotel with 157 residences in the Four Seasons Private Residences above. Developer Larry Silverstein's Silverstein Properties, which also built the nearby World Trade Center towers, assembled the site by purchasing 99 Church Street from Moody's Corporation for $170 million in November 2006.

the building

Two lobbies, one tower. The building separates its two functions at street level: hotel guests enter through a dedicated lobby on Barclay Street, while the 157 residences above are reached through a separate residential lobby at 30 Park Place.

Site history. The tower replaced an 11-story, 441,000-square-foot office building constructed in 1951 that had served as Moody's Corporation headquarters until the company agreed to relocate to Silverstein's 7 World Trade Center, freeing the site for redevelopment.

the style

The tower is designed in a postmodern architectural language by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, whose massing gives the building a distinct tapered silhouette among Lower Manhattan's residential towers.
