111 Murray Street is a tall building, also called a skyscraper. It was finished in 2018 in New York City. This building is in a part of Manhattan called the Financial District and Tribeca. It's also near Battery Park City. It was built by Witkoff Group and Fisher Brothers.

What the Building Looks Like

This skyscraper has 156 fancy apartments called condominiums. The building is very tall, reaching 792 feet (241.4 meters) into the sky. That's about as tall as the famous Woolworth Building.

On the ground floor, there is a small area for shops. Next to the tower, there's a large open space called a plaza. This plaza is about 10,600 square feet (985 square meters) big.

Construction progress in October 2016.

The skyscraper was built where an old building used to stand. This old building belonged to St. John's University. The developers bought the land in 2013.

In 2015, they got the money needed to build the tower. A Chinese insurance company invested, and banks like The Blackstone Group, Deutsche Bank, and M&T Bank gave a large loan.

By the summer of 2015, the old building was taken down. Then, they started building the new skyscraper's foundation. The main structure of the building was completed in 2018.
