99 Church Street, also known as 30 Park Place, is a building under construction in Lower Manhattan, New York City. It will be the tallest residential building in the city, at 912 feet.[2] The building was designed by Robert A. M. Stern, and is being developed by Silverstein Properties. The facade of 99 Church Street will be clad in limestone.

99 Church Street will contain a Four Seasons Hotel and condominium apartments. The new building will be constructed next to and surpass in height the Woolworth Building, which was the world's tallest building at its construction.[3] Tishman Construction is managing the project, which is currently under construction as of late 2011. The building replaced the old 99 Church Street, also known as the Moody's Building. It was built in 1951 by Reinhard, Hofmeister & Walquist for the mercantile agency of Dun & Bradstreet. At the time it had the distinction as the first substantial new office building in Lower Manhattan for almost 20 years.

History

The building was originally planned to be completed in 2011 but now changed to 2014.
