64-Story Skyscraper Begins Ascent at 8 Carlisle Street in Manhattan’s Financial District

Excerpt from New York YIMBY: At number 12 on our year-end countdown of the tallest construction projects in New York is Link Apartments 8 Carlisle, a 789-foot-tall residential skyscraper at 8 Carlisle Street in Manhattan’s Financial District. Designed by Handel Architects and developed by Grubb Properties and Pink Stone Capital, the 64-story structure will span 326,221 square feet and yield 462 residential units. The project will also include 7,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space and a 60-foot-long rear yard. The property is alternately addressed as 111 Washington Street and located at the corner of Washington and Carlisle Streets, just south of the World Trade Center complex. The loan came from Maxim Capital Group, based in New York City.

The reinforced concrete superstructure has quickly climbed above street level following the restart in construction earlier this year. A tower crane has been assembled to aid in the vertical progress, and a tall safety cocoon surrounds the uppermost stories. Based on the pace of work, it’s likely the building will start to make an impression on the Lower Manhattan skyline around the end of winter and possibly top out sometime next summer.
