1 Wall Street Court (Cocoa Exchange / Beaver Building) is a triangular Flatiron-shaped neo-Renaissance landmark — Clinton & Russell's 1904 commission for the New York Cocoa Exchange with carved beaver heads ornamenting the facade.
Its triangular Flatiron-shaped neo-Renaissance configuration makes it geometrically distinct on the Wall Street axis, a form the city protected with the NYC landmark designation (1996) under the building's original Beaver Building name. Completing the identity are the carved beaver heads ornamenting the facade — signature ornament that traces straight back to the structure's 1904 commission for the New York Cocoa Exchange.
Architecture and building operations
Clinton & Russell's 1904 design produced a 15-story triangular Flatiron-shaped neo-Renaissance building at 1 Wall Street Court — built for the New York Cocoa Exchange. The firm's broader 1898-1910 body of work includes 25 Broad Street (The Broad Exchange, 1902), the Apthorp, the Langham, Graham Court, and substantial Manhattan luxury residential.
The triangular site at Wall Street Court produces a geometrically distinct facade configuration. The carved beaver heads on the facade reference the building's original 1904 commission. The restored Carrera marble lobby anchors the institutional interior identity.
The 2006 conversion by FPE Architects with McCartan interiors produced 126 condominium residences.
Operations: 24-hour doorman; concierge; fitness center; private storage. Restored Carrera marble lobby.

Common charges plus real estate taxes, combined into one monthly figure the way New York condominium listings show them. Add a mortgage payment for the monthly outlay. The split into common charges and taxes comes from the listings that also give the annual tax, a different sample, so the two lines need not add up exactly to the combined median; a tax abatement can hold taxes below the full amount until it expires. A summary of recorded sales and listings, not a current bill; charges change.

The latest available filing classified the facade as SWARMP — Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program: the engineer identified conditions requiring monitoring or repair, with repairs due by the deadline stated in the filing. The scope, timeline, and how the building funds the work are building-specific — we review the filings and board materials for you.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — the licensed engineer the city requires to sign the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2020–25. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

What to know if you’re buying
The NYC landmark designation (1996) provides the most stringent exterior protection.
The Clinton & Russell architectural pedigree is real institutional context. Same firm as the Apthorp, the Langham, Graham Court, 25 Broad Street, and substantial Manhattan luxury residential.
The triangular Flatiron-shaped neo-Renaissance geometry is structurally distinguishing.
The carved beaver heads on the facade are real architectural-history credential.
The 1904 New York Cocoa Exchange institutional provenance anchors cultural-history positioning.
Roebling cross-references the offering plan through the Roebling Research Library during diligence.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
