Building of the Day: SoMA

Located at 25 Water Street in Lower Manhattan, SoMA is the country's largest completed office-to-residential conversion to date. With 1,320 apartments and 100,000-plus square feet of amenity space, a tour of this building highlights the transformative potential of adapting underutilized commercial space for housing. It also illustrates the remarkable design achievements making these initiatives possible, from light wells in the building core, to a 10-story rooftop addition and the insertion of thousands of new windows.

Please note: this tour is accessible by wheelchair.

Architect: CetraRuddy

Meeting location will be emailed to registered attendees the day before the tour.
