One Hundred Barclay is a landmark restored and reborn. The 1927 Barclay–Vesey Building — Ralph Walker's first major commission and one of the earliest Art Deco skyscrapers anywhere — spent most of its life as the headquarters of the New York Telephone Company and, later, Verizon. When Verizon sold the upper floors in 2013, developer Magnum Real Estate Group, with CIM Group, converted the stories above the tenth into 157 luxury condominium residences, marketed as One Hundred Barclay. The conversion preserved and restored the building's most extraordinary feature — its vaulted, mural-painted lobby, an interior landmark — while delivering ground-up-quality residences behind the original limestone-and-bronze facade.
The architecture is the argument. Few addresses in Manhattan let a buyer live inside a museum-grade Art Deco landmark with the layouts, ceiling heights, light, and infrastructure of new construction. The building's amenity program — more than 40,000 square feet of it — is among the deepest downtown, scaled to a far larger building and reserved for 157 households.
For purchasers, the appeal is a rare combination: a true condominium, with the financing latitude, ownership flexibility, and resale liquidity that ownership in a condominium provides, set inside a designated landmark at the quiet northwest corner of Lower Manhattan, steps from Tribeca, Battery Park City, and the Financial District alike.
Architecture and unit composition
The Barclay–Vesey Building is a masterwork of early Art Deco — a setback tower of carved limestone, bronze spandrels, and naturalistic ornament, crowned by Walker's distinctive massing. Its lobby, a designated interior landmark, was painstakingly restored during the conversion, its ceiling murals and decorative metalwork brought back to their 1927 brilliance.
Above the tenth floor, the 157 residences range from one-bedrooms to grand four- and five-bedroom homes, with interiors that pair the original architecture's scale and window proportions with contemporary kitchens, baths, and systems. At the top, a duplex penthouse on the 31st and 32nd floors spans roughly 14,500 square feet, with a living room measuring 96 by 33 feet — at its debut, advertised as the largest in the city. The conversion's mandate throughout was to honor the landmark's bones while delivering the light, layouts, and infrastructure that only a top-tier renovation can provide.
Building operations
One Hundred Barclay runs as a full-service condominium with a 24-hour attended lobby, doorman, and concierge. The amenity suite is the building's calling card: over 40,000 square feet across a dedicated club level, including two swimming pools (an 82-foot lap pool and a children's wading pool), a fitness center, a club lounge with bar and dining room, four landscaped outdoor terraces, a children's playroom, a teen lounge, a media lounge, a wine-tasting room, and music practice rooms.
As a condominium, the building offers the ownership flexibility its form implies — purchases clear through a condominium right-of-first-refusal rather than a co-op board interview, financing is at the condominium standard, and pied-à-terre, trust, and investment ownership are customary at this caliber. Common charges and the tax structure are set out in the offering plan and factor into the carrying-cost math, which we walk through with buyers.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
The facade passed its last inspection with no required repairs — nothing to budget for here, and no facade assessment on the horizon for roughly five years.

What to know if you’re buying
The building's value proposition is unusually concrete. It is a condominium inside a designated landmark — buyers get ownership flexibility, financing latitude, and the resale liquidity of a condominium, plus the architectural pedigree of one of the city's great Art Deco towers. The amenity package is among the deepest downtown — two pools, a full club level, and four outdoor terraces — which carries into both lifestyle and resale. Carrying costs reflect that amenity depth; buyers should underwrite common charges accordingly. Location is a hedge in itself: the corner sits where Tribeca, Battery Park City, and the Financial District meet, with the Hudson River esplanade, the World Trade Center transit hub, and several subway lines within a short walk. We help buyers read the offering plan, weigh the carrying cost, and identify the lines and floors that hold value best.
What to know if you’re selling
The landmark is the marketing. Ralph Walker's restored Art Deco architecture, the interior-landmark lobby, and the club-level amenity program are durable, irreplaceable differentiators — a resale here should never be positioned as generic downtown inventory. Benchmark to the top tier of Tribeca and downtown condominiums, where the buyer values architecture, amenity, and flexibility. Condominium closing mechanics are a selling point — a faster, more predictable path through right-of-first-refusal. Scarcity works in the seller's favor: with only 157 homes and measured turnover, a well-presented, well-priced listing competes against very little comparable product.
