99 John Street (99 John Deco Lofts)
99 John Street, New York, NY 10038
- Year built
- 1933
99 John Street is a 1933 Shreve, Lamb & Harmon Art Deco tower by the same architectural firm that designed the Empire State Building — converted to rental ownership in 1999 and to condominium ownership in 2007.
The structural identity rests on three features. First, the Shreve, Lamb & Harmon architectural pedigree — the same firm that designed the Empire State Building (1931). The firm's broader Manhattan body of work places 99 John Street in the most architecturally consequential 1933 commercial cohort. Second, the Art Deco limestone tower facade — preserved through both conversions. Third, the 11-14 ft beamed ceilings preserved from the original prewar industrial fabric.
