Tour: 100 Barclay

Residential lobby.

Construction has wrapped up at the residential conversion of the Ralph Walker designed office tower at 100 Barclay. Completed in 1927, the 32-story Barclay Vesey Building originally served as the headquarters for the New York Telephone Company and more recently the home of Verizon, who still occupies the lower floors. Developers Magnum Real Estate Group and CIM Group have led the conversion of the upper floors of the landmark building, renamed 100 Barclay, into 158 residential condos and amenities.

The Grand Lobby, designed by Jeffrey Beers International, features a Ralph Walker-designed vaulted ceiling and hand-painted ceiling murals depicting the historical advancement of human communication. At the Arrival Lobby, newly added elements include paneled millwork walls, a custom brushed brass concierge desk, atelier-style furnishings, and a gold leaf ceiling above. Ralph Walker’s original elevator lobby has also been integrated and features cast bronze elevator surrounds, carved and patterned marble, and limestone walls.

Model Residence

The original office floor plates on the upper floors have been converted to residential units ranging in size from one- to five-bedrooms with ten-foot ceiling heights. Design of the interiors seeks a modern take on the Art Deco character of the landmarked structure with details like the custom walnut paneled entry doors and custom brass finish hardware on entry doors and kitchen cabinetry. Other details include over-sized double hung windows, 4” plank rift cut custom stained white oak floors, custom stained oak kitchen cabinetry with Calacatta Gold marble countertops, and custom bathroom cabinetry with Waterworks fixtures.
