History

Lightstone purchased the former 12-story office building at 130 William Street in May 2014 for $60 million after the previous owner Berkeley College defaulted on a mortgage from East West Bank. Eight months later, the company unveiled Hill West Architects' plans for a 50-story tall mixed-use building that would reach a height of and contain a hotel and 188 apartments. However, new plans filed in early 2017 removed the hotel portion and increased the building's size to its current height. The project name was Wall Street Tower until in 2017, when the name was changed to 130 William Street.
In March 2017, the project secured $305 million in financing and began construction. Facade installation began in October 2018. The building topped-out in May 2019. 130 William has also been recognized as the fastest selling luxury condominium development in New York City in 2018 and 2019.
Construction of 130 William was completed in June 2023.
