About One Manhattan Square
One Manhattan Square was built between 2014 and 2019. It stands on the spot where a Pathmark grocery store used to be. That old store was taken down in 2014 to make way for this new skyscraper.
The building is very tall, reaching about 847 feet (258 meters) high. It has 72 floors, offering many homes for people. It was "topped out" in September 2017, which means the highest point of the building's structure was completed. The entire project was finished by August 2019.
Building Features
One Manhattan Square really stands out in its neighborhood. The next tallest structure nearby is the Manhattan Bridge, which is only about 30 stories high. This makes One Manhattan Square a very noticeable landmark.
Besides the main tall tower, there's also a separate, smaller building on the same site. This 13-story building provides "affordable housing." This means it offers homes at lower prices to help more people live in the city.
The building is designed for both living and shopping. It has many homes, and there are also retail spaces, which are areas for shops.
