75 Wall Street (former headquarters of JP Morgan Chase) defines world class luxury living with an abundance of amenities and a full service lifestyle. This 43-story tower is being transformed into 349 condominium residences and 251 hotel suites complete with on-site parking, retail, and an outdoor plaza. Dramatic 360 degree views and homes filled with light and air rise above Andaz, Hyatt�s new global hotel brand of discerning style and service, launching in key gateway cities worldwide. When completed in 2009, 75 Wall Street will be the largest residential and multi-use project south of Canal Street, creating an exciting downtown destination. The exceptional award winning Rockwell Group is designed the condominium interiors, amenity spaces, hotel rooms, public spaces, restaurant and bar. http://www.andaz.com

One of the only free-standing buildings in the neighborhood with 360 degree views, Andaz Wall Street will be full of light with seven-foot windows, 10-foot ceilings, and impressive square footage.  The simple, yet comfortable guest rooms will feature dark stained oak floors, textured walls, and bleached wood accents.  Adjacent to windows, built-in soaking tubs will open into the bedroom in A2 King rooms. In addition, these rooms will highlight a customized personal �valet,� an innovation that incorporates elements of a mini-bar, closet, and full-height mirror into one rotating unit. 

Andaz Wall Street will offer an array of amenities, including: a contemporary take on a traditional Wall Street bar; a 3,550 square foot restaurant, featuring an elegant, farm-fresh, simple cuisine; a spa and fitness facility; and the Andaz studios, 3,750 square feet of interactive, residential style meeting space.

Andaz Wall Street�s prime location at the corner of Wall and Water streets, places it at the epicenter of the Financial District, one of New York City�s fastest growing residential neighborhoods, and home to luxury retailers, parks and fine dining.  The property, which will be the only hotel to boast a Wall Street address, is being developed by The Hakimian Organization along with partners, Peykar Brothers Realty & Gorjian Properties.
