99 Wall Street

25-story Art-Deco residential building completed in 1931 as an office building. Designed by Schwartz & Gross, it has a 4-story limestone base separated into three broad bays on both the Wall and Front Street facades. The 2nd-3rd floors have double-height openings with dark-grey metal window framing. At the 4th floor, there are four panes of windows in each bay, separated by metal mullions painted the same color as below. A small cornice caps the base. Above, the upper floors are clad in white glazed brick, with the same division of bays and windows as on the 4th floor. The spandrels have simple brickwork patterns, and the piers rise uninterrupted until the 16th floor, where there begins a series of small cascading setbacks on both facades - every other floor at the outside bays, and at every floor on the inner two bays, narrowing the innermost bay of each facade until it disappears. At the top of each setback, the pier terminates with a simple stylized capital.

In 2015, 99 Wall was renovated into condominiums by The Claremont Group. The ground floor is occupied by a Starbucks coffee, and Laila Rowe boutique.
