City Investing Building, 33-story skyscraper in Financial District, Manhattan, US
The City Investing Building is a 33-story office structure in Manhattan's Financial District with an F-shaped floor plan. It features a light court facing Cortlandt Street and a wing extending toward Broadway, with office spaces ranging from about 5,200 to 19,500 square feet per floor.
The building was designed by architect Francis H. Kimball in 1906 and completed in 1908, using 15,000 tons of structural steel in its construction. It rose during a boom in skyscraper building in New York when financial institutions were competing for presence and status through height.
The building reflects the rapid growth of Manhattan's financial sector in the early 1900s and shows how important this area became for American commerce. The use of Italian marble and spacious office areas was typical of ambitious construction projects from that period.
The building is equipped with 24 elevators to move people efficiently through all 33 floors. Its location in the Financial District makes it easily accessible from several nearby subway stations and bus stops.
The building's foundations extend about 80 feet (24 meters) deep to bedrock, making the total vertical span from bottom to top nearly 500 feet (150 meters). This deep foundation was an engineering feat needed to support such a massive structure on Manhattan's challenging terrain.
