Woolworth Tower's luxury apartments in New York ready for viewing

New York

WHEN an investment group headed by developer Alchemy Properties bought the top 30 floors of the Woolworth Tower in 2012 for a reported US$68 million, the space, which had formerly been offices, was an empty shell.

After assembling the team over a period of 14 months, the group began construction in 2014, renovating those floors from the inside out. That work is due to be finished at the end of 2017, as workers convert the interior into 33 luxury condominiums.
