New look coming to Verizon Pearl St. building

Cook & Fox is designing a new curtain wall that will open up the facade of the Verizon building at 375 Pearl Street. Verizon sold a condominium interest in 29 of the 32 floors to Taconic Investment Partners and Square Mile Capital. “It’s the chance to give this building a brand new face while fulfilling the mayor’s vision for a greener, more sustainable city,” Cook & Fox said in a statement. “Whether you’re on the Brooklyn Bridge, the F.D.R. or the steps of City Hall, the building will make a statement on the skyline.” Verizon will own and remain on three floors.
