Tower 270, Art Deco office building in Tribeca, Manhattan, US

Tower 270 rises 28 stories high at the intersection of Chambers Street and Broadway, featuring multiple entrances and 350,785 square feet of mixed-use space.

The building served as the first headquarters of the Manhattan Project in 1942, where scientists and engineers worked on the development of atomic technology.

The structure combines three separate components, including the preserved Art Deco lobby at 270 Broadway, modern spaces at 80 Chambers Street, and commercial areas at 86 Chambers Street.

The property contains 87 residential units across its upper floors, while the lower levels house office spaces and include storage facilities on each floor.

The building's location across from City Hall Park influenced the decision to rename the Manhattan Project from its original technical designation to prevent drawing attention.
