3 Hanover Square History
Originally constructed in the 1920s as the New York Cotton Exchange, this Financial District landmark became Manhattan's first major office-to-residential conversion in the late 1970s. The building's Renaissance Revival architecture and grand marble lobby reflect its early 20th-century financial heritage.
Architectural Transformation
Converted to a 205-unit cooperative in 1985, the property retains original details while offering modern amenities including a 24-hour doorman and rooftop deck. Its pioneering residential conversion helped catalyze Lower Manhattan's neighborhood revitalization.
Location & Legacy
Located near Stone Street's dining scene and Wall Street landmarks, 3 Hanover Square maintains proximity to multiple subway lines (2/3/4/5/J/Z). The building represents New York's adaptive reuse movement, preserving early 20th-century commercial architecture for residential use.

Abrams Garfinkel & Rosen Testimonial
Dear Stephen:
On behalf of my partners and myself, I want to thank you for your representation, assistance and support in connection with our search for new office space. We have worked with many brokers over the last eighteen months, but you were the only one who truly listened and tried to understand what our requirements, limitations and needs were. As a result of your diligence and persistence, we have been able to sign a lease for a space that meets all of our physical, aesthetic and economic criteria. You have done an excellent job on our behalf, and we are truly appreciative.
Please feel free to share this letter with any of your potential clients, as we would wholeheartedly recommend your services to others. Once again, thank you for everything.
Sincerely,
Neil B. Garfinkel
