28 Liberty Street,〔(), Wall Street Journal〕 formerly known as One Chase Manhattan Plaza, is a banking skyscraper located in the downtown Manhattan Financial District of New York City, between Pine, Liberty, Nassau, and William Streets. Construction on the building was completed in 1961.〔(SOM.com ), Completion date〕 It has 60 floors, with 5 basement floors, and is 248 meters (813 ft) tall, making it the 15th tallest building in New York City, the 43rd tallest in the United States, and the 200th tallest building in the world.〔(Emporis.com ), Design Specs〕 The building is built in the International style, with a stainless steel facade with black spandrels below the windows. Designed by Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, the building echoes the firm's earlier Inland Steel Building in Chicago. A direct entrance to the Wall Street station () of the New York City Subway is in the lobby. There are also connections to Wall Street () and to Broad Street () via passageways underground. ==History== The Chase Manhattan Bank president of that time, David Rockefeller, the current patriarch of the Rockefeller family, was the prime mover of the construction and the building's location, notably because many corporations had moved uptown, and the Financial District had languished as a result. One Chase Manhattan Plaza is currently occupied by the successor to the "Rockefeller Bank", JPMorgan Chase & Co. Originally, its major tenants included the white shoe firms Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy (then the bank's main outside counsel), Davis Polk & Wardwell and Cravath, Swaine & Moore. Davis Polk and Cravath moved to Midtown in the nineties, but Milbank remains. One Chase Manhattan Plaza is shaped like "an enormous steel-framed rectangle". The building has about of aboveground floor area. Another in the basements contains "a truck entrance, mechanical equipment rooms, vaults, a [Chase] branch bank, and a cafeteria". There are aluminum panels—chosen for their durability and performance—as well as mullions and column cladding on the facade. The columns are about thick and are about apart from each other. The columns extend from the building on its long sides. The floors cantilever on the columns on the building's short sides.〔 The building is unusual among buildings in the area: The New York Landmarks Preservation Commission designated One Chase Manhattan Plaza a landmark in 2008.〔http://www.nyc.gov/html/lpc/downloads/pdf/reports/ChaseManhattanReport.pdf〕 On October 18, 2013, JPMorgan sold the building to Fosun, a Chinese investment company, for $725 million. Fosun rebranded One Chase Manhattan Plaza as 28 Liberty Street in 2015〔http://newyorkyimby.com/2015/05/landmarks-wants-re-think-of-re-development-at-28-liberty-street.html, New York YIMBY〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「28 Liberty Street」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
