Built in 1909, Liberty Tower is one of the early romantic skyscrapers which changed the skyline of lower Manhattan.

In 1978, the conversion of Liberty Tower introduced residential use to the Financial District. Joseph Pell Lombardi, as both architect and investor, designed the interiors, conserved the historic elements and converted the building into 89 residential units with retail stores on the first floor, mezzanine and cellar levels.

The project was approved by the Landmarks Preservation Commission and the Board of Standards & Appeals. Construction commenced in 1979 and was completed in 1980.
