Rising 789 feet tall, the 64-story Link Apartments 8 Carlisle is set to become a prominent feature of Manhattan's Financial District. This residential skyscraper, located at 8 Carlisle Street, is designed by Handel Architects and developed by Grubb Properties and Pink Stone Capital. The project, currently at number 12 on our year-end countdown of the tallest construction projects in New York, will offer 462 residential units across 326,221 square feet. It will also include 7,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space and a 60-foot-long rear yard.
The reinforced concrete superstructure has been rapidly rising above street level since construction resumed earlier this year. A tower crane assists vertical progress, and a tall safety cocoon surrounds the uppermost stories. Based on the current pace of work, the building is expected to start making a significant impact on the Lower Manhattan skyline by the end of winter, with a potential topping-out next summer.
The building's design features a podium with a cantilevering stepped cutout at the corner, an architectural element that was prominently featured in the project's initial imagery. Following a setback on the fifth floor, the tower rises with a uniform trapezoidal massing to the crown, which will incorporate a symmetrical set of stepped setbacks on the southwest corner, mirroring the design at the northwest corner of the base. The main photo rendering shows the crown clad in an illuminated metal envelope.
The building is planned to house seven to ten units per level. Amenities will include a 63rd-floor lounge, a swimming pool, a fitness center with outdoor terrace access, coworking spaces, a demo kitchen, entertainment rooms, bike storage, a full-time doorman, and a live-in superintendent. The site was previously occupied by a ten-story parking garage, which was demolished in 2007, and remained undeveloped for 16 years before pilings and earthwork began in 2023.
The closest subway stations are the 1 train at Rector Street station, the R and W trains at Rector Street station, and the 4 and 5 trains at Wall Street station. The anticipated completion date for Link Apartments 8 Carlisle is the summer of 2026.
