17 State Street

Metropolis has a long history with 1 State Street. We provided continuous consulting services to three separate owners. The original owner hired us as the building consultant for this property. Metropolis consulted with every tenant installation building. We were a big factor in obtaining the approval from City Planning to allow the height and setback approvals and allowing the plaza to be designed as it is being used today. Metropolis also provided all the approvals and permits and obtained the final Certificate of Occupancy.

This is one of the largest developments Metropolis as been hired to consult on. We worked closely with the architect Emery Roth & Sons. 1585 Broadway is located within the Special Times Square District and is privately owned. Metropolis coordinated all filings, including the demolition of the existing building, installation of the foundations and substructure. We consulted the zoning for the new building and the special Times Square signage. Upon completion, Metropolis coordinated all trades involved and obtained the first temporary Certificate of Occupancy.

The second thru eight floors are occupied by offices. The ninth thru sixteenth floors are rentals with the remaining twelve floors as condominiums. Metropolis was hired to coordinate all approvals, permits and obtain the certificate of occupancy.
