Mapping the Financial District's Many Developments In Progress
In the nearly 15 years since the September 11 attacks, the Financial District has seen an unprecedented rebirth—from the South Street Seaport to the east to the World Trade Center to the west, the number of developments that have cropped up or are in progress has boomed. And while the WTC site can be used as proof of the area's renaissance, that wouldn't take into account the number of buildings rising closer to the East River (including a couple of supertalls), or the controversial revamp of the South Street Seaport.
To get a fuller picture of what's happening in Lower Manhattan, we've mapped a whole bunch of the developments that are currently in progress downtown—and if we've missed something, leave a comment or hit the tipline.
1 WTC Transportation Hub
Santiago Calatrava's massive (and massively expensive) transit hub, topped by the bird-like Oculus, finally opened to the publicin March after years of delays. The underground portion will connect the PATH train to 11 subway lines, and a mall is due to open there sometime this year, too.

2 2 World Trade Center
Just a few months after Bjarke Ingels got the go-ahead to redesign 2 World Trade Center, a big (no pun intended) wrench was thrown into the works: News Corp and 20th Century Fox, which were due to occupy around 1 million square feet of the skyscraper, pulled out of the deal. What happens next is anyone's guess, though Silverstein Properties, the developer behind the building, is looking for another anchor tenant.

3 3 World Trade Center
Work on the Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners-designed skyscraper finally started up again last year (after money woes), and last we checked, it was standing at more than half of its final 1,079-foot height. Tech company GroupM will be the anchor tenant, and the building is expected to open in 2018.

4 World Trade Center Performing Arts Center
After no less than eleven years, major design shake-ups, and a halved budget, the Performing Arts Center at the World Trade Center has finally taken a resolute step forward: Last year, Brooklyn-based firm Rex as announced as the architect.

5 Woolworth Building
Work continues on the Woolworth Tower, the ridiculously pricey condos that will sit atop Cass Gilbert's iconic downtown skyscraper. The building may eventually be home to one of New York City's most expensive homes, a $110 million penthousethat would extend up into the pinnacle of the building. (The other homes are less expensive, but similarly over-the-top in terms of finishes, amenities, and the like.)

6 70 Pine
Leasing officially launched earlier this year for this Art Deco skyscraper, which is in the process of being converted into 600 rental units. There will also be shops and restaurants, including a rooftop eatery created by Spotted Pig partners Ken Friedman and April Bloomfield.

7 Ralph Walker Tribeca
Ralph Walker's Tribeca tower, which came out of the September 11 attacks intact (if needing extensive repairs), is known for its gorgeous lobby, covered in luxe materials like travertine and black marble. It was purchased by Ben Shaoul's Magnum Real Estate Group in 2013, with the intention of converting the 1920s structure into luxury condominiums. And despite the firm's (well, really, Shaoul's) controversial reputation, the interior revamp—being undertaken by Champalimaud Designs and GRADE—has preserved the building's character while giving it a modern update.

8 1 Seaport
Fortis Property Group's massive tower, now dubbed 1 Seaportfollowing a legal battle with landlord Jacob Resnick & Sons, will rise 60 stories over Lower Manhattan. Though few details are available on the building as of now, one thing we do know is that it's going to be pricey: the average condo is likely to be priced around $3 million.

9 30 Park Place
Larry Silverstein and Robert A.M. Stern's tall tower is close to being completed: the Four Seasons hotel, which occupies the building's lower floors, is expected to open this July; the condos that top the tower should follow suit soon thereafter. The limestone-covered building also happens to be the tallest residential tower downtown, though it just misses supertall status.

10 The Beekman
This development is actually two in one: There's the Temple Court building, a gorgeous 19th-century landmark that's in the process of becoming a hotel; and then there's the Beekman, a new condo development rising behind the historic structure.

11 45 Broad Street
Last year, the vacant lot at 45 Broad Street sold to Robert Gladstone's Madison Equities and Italy-based Pizzarotti Group for a cool $86 million, with plans to develop a residential tower in place. That skyscraper will be approximately 1,100 feet tall, with as many as 245 residences and ground-floor retail, with an expected completion date of 2018.

The former World Financial Center is now a luxury shopping mall and food court, as well as a hub for media: Time Inc. recently moved to the building, occupying more than 700,000 square feet there.

13 50 West
Helmut Jahn's 780-foot West Street tower will have 191 units, which will be a mix of one- to four-bedroom apartments, along with two penthouses. It'll also have plenty of amenities, including an observatory on the 64th floor with views that may rival those of its neighbor One World Trade Center.

14 80 South Street
A tall tower has been rumored to be rising on the site of 80 South Street for some time now, and recently, thousands of square feet of air rights were transferred from an adjacent lot to the site. But that doesn't mean anything for now: No plans have been filed with the DOB, and no one's confirming anything about a potential development as of right now.

15 South Street Seaport
There's a lot happening at the waterfront complex, which is in the midst of a redevelopment that has the potential to reshape the neighborhood around it. Even though Howard Hughes's planned condo tower won't be moving forward, work continues on Pier 17, which will have a revamped shopping mall and lots of outdoor space. The Seaport Museum is also taking strides forward, and will open its first post-Hurricane Sandy exhibit later this month.

16 12 Warren
DDG's bluestone-clad condo launched sales last year, and move-ins are expected sometime in the next few months. The units are split between half- and full-floor condos, along with luxury townhouses. But they all have the same high-end interior touches: Austrian white-oak flooring, bathrooms covered in Carrera marble, custom cabinetry in the kitchens, the list goes on and on.

17 101 Wall Street
Once planned as an office building, this Wall Street development—one of many on the storied thoroughfare—pulled a switcheroo, becoming 52 condos instead. Dutch designer Piet Boon is responsible for the interiors, and sales launched last year.

18 125 Greenwich Street
Per the last report on Michael Shvo's mysterious downtown tower, the building will have 275 units over 91 stories—an increase from the 128 units that earlier renderings had suggested the tower would have. The final height is still up in the air, but DOB filings are still showing that it would stand around 875 feet tall, which puts it well below supertall status.

19 77 Greenwich Street
The erstwhile 42 Trinity Place is now 77 Greenwich Street, and what was once rumored to be a supertall will now be a shorter—but still, y'know, tall—500-foot tower designed by FXFOWLE. The building will rise on the site of a former Syms store, and will have a school at its base, and 85 condos above that.

20 One Wall Street
After BNY Mellon vacates its current headquarters at One Wall Street, Macklowe Properties will swoop in—along with architect Robert A.M. Stern—and convert the Art Deco gem into a mixed-use development, with ground-floor retail and around 500 apartments (and a new addition, which was recently approvedby the Landmarks Preservation Commission).

22 112-118 Fulton Street
Carmel Partners purchased this site in 2013 from the Lightstone Group, and now plan to build a 63-story, 758-foot tower on the site. According to the New York Post, the building will hold 476 apartments along with retail.
118 Fulton St

23 45 Park Place
The onetime site of the so-called "Ground Zero Mosque" will soon become—what else?—a residential development, focusing on the high-end, luxury market. (Well, as of last year, anyway.) The building will rise 667 feet and will hold at least 15 full-floor units.

24 102 John Street
As of last year, the Moinian Group was planning a 336-foot-tall, 28-story residential building at 102 John Street, next to the company's already established 100 John Street development. Plans on file with the DOB show that it was recently disapproved, so consider this one on hold for now.

25 75 Nassau Street
ODA New York will construct a nearly 500-foot-tall building at 75 Nassau Street, and true to the architects' love of all things cubical, the mixed-use development—which will have 197 apartments, in addition to ground-floor retail—is a boxy behemoth. The units will be split between rentals and condos.

26 Exhibit
A former ten-story parking garage on Fulton Street will become a 23-story condo building called Exhibit, developed by Steven Brauser and Socius Development Group. It'll have some affordable units, and, apparently, a "cool and hip vibe."
