75 Wall Street is a tall, 43-story mixed-use building in Manhattan’s Financial District. It combines a hotel and condos in one structure, with 675,000 square feet of space. The upper floors house 346 residential condominiums, while the lower floors contain a hotel with about 253 rooms, currently operating as Hyatt Centric Wall Street New York. The building was originally designed by Welton Becket & Associates for the British bank Barclays and opened in 1987 as Barclays’ North American headquarters. It was developed by London & Leeds and financed by Manufacturers Hanover.

Over the years, big tenants included Knight Ridder, Dresdner Bank, and JPMorgan Chase. A bomb exploded nearby in 2000, causing some windows to break but no injuries. After the World Trade Center attacks in 2001, Barclays reduced its space, and in 2005 JPMorgan Chase bought the building. Later that year, the Hakimian Organization and Peykar Brothers Realty purchased it for $185 million.

The building was converted to mixed use: the upper floors were turned into condominiums (opening in 2009) and the lower floors became a hotel, initially opened as Andaz Wall Street in January 2010, with a ground-floor restaurant and a rooftop amenity area. Interior design included a private screening room for condo residents.

condo sales slowed during the Great Recession, and lenders extended loans. The hotel portion was refinanced in 2017. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a hotel closure in 2020. In 2022, Navika Capital bought the hotel for about $84.7 million and renamed it Hyatt Centric Wall Street New York; Hakimian kept the condo portion. In May 2025, the condo board claimed the hotel owed $500,000, and a judge ruled in October that the board could place a lien on the hotel space.
