Building Alternate address: 40 Rector St

Borough:Manhattan

40 Rector Street is an 18-story Renaissance Revival office building located in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City. It was completed in 1920 and designed by the architectural firm Warren & Wetmore. Originally known as the Barrett Building, 40 Rector Street was constructed with a large, three-story rusticated stone base featuring stone-enframed windows and circular windows on the second story, along with double-height round-arched openings and a main entrance flanked by Doric columns on West Street.

The building was originally L-shaped, wrapping around several old tenement buildings on Washington Street, which were intended to be removed to create a small park preserving light for the east façade. However, after 1951, an addition was built on the site of these tenements, with a new facade that included a plain tan brick surface and square-headed windows, creating a contrast with the original architectural style. In 2001, a new entrance was designed for this section, featuring a patterned grey facade on the ground floor.

When it opened, 40 Rector Street faced the Hudson River waterfront. The subsequent development of Battery Park City on landfill pushed the shoreline back several hundred feet beginning in the late 1960s, altering its riverside location. The original building displays detailed limestone and brickwork, including limestone quoins, brick piers, a stone entablature, and a copper cornice crowning the structure. Upper floors are characterized by a loggia with stone pilasters and black metal spandrel panels dividing the windows vertically.

In the 1970s, the building's status declined as it transitioned from a prestigious address to providing back office space for various city agencies. More recently, 40 Rector Street has seen revitalization through the presence of prominent public service organizations such as the Metropolitan College of New York, The China Institute, Big Brothers Big Sisters, the NAACP, and the Urban Justice Center, reflecting its continuing role in the community.

Optimal Spaces can help you turn critical and complex real estate issues into opportunities for growth and or cost reduction. We offer the experience, know-how, and the strategic planning that helps lead to better decisions. Virtually everything you need to enhance the value of your business (for profit and not for profit) , you will find at Optimal Spaces.

About Optimal Spaces
Optimal Spaces are Tenant Brokers, only representing commercial tenants, not owners or landlords. By contrast, managing agents and most commercial brokers are "landlord agents" representing the interest of owners. Their goal is to market and lease their clients' properties with the best possible terms for the owners. Thus, they will neither show you as broad a selection nor push to get the best price, since their loyalty is to the Landlord. An Optimal Spaces agent will show you a broader range of properties and offer you a broader range of important services than a managing agent or commercial broker will. We will provide you with a market survey, floor plans, pricing expectations , and access to our rolodex: Optimal Spaces walks you through the process from start to finish. Upon entering your new space, it will look the way you want, all at the price you agreed to spend. In addition to negotiating the best price, we will reveal and abate many "hidden costs" to you. We will show you all the relevant available spaces and safeguard your interests throughout the process. Because of tour costs to provide these services, we ask in exchange that clients sign an Exclusive Brokerage Agreement. This allows us to plan appropriately for assisting you with every step of the process.
