Located at 50 West Street between Joseph P. Ward and Rector Streets in lower Manhattan, this new 63-story, 700 foot tall tower is expected to contain approximately 542,000 sf. The building will provide 349 residential units, 143 hospitality guest rooms, 2 floors of parking and lobby amenity areas. The building is expected to have 10 foot floor-to-floor heights and floor plates of approximately 7,500 sf.

The City Council has approved the $600 million project, giving Time Equities Inc. the go-ahead to build a 63-story tower next to the Battery Tunnel Garage. The first 14 floors of the building designed by Helmut Jahn will have a 155-room, four star hotel and restaurant, and the other floors will have 290 condos. The building is slated to open in 2010.

I like that they are focusing on families.  wealthy families mind you but families due to the excelent school district there.
