Luxury condos in a former flagship branch of a bank
The Collection is an assortment of luxuriously appointed condominiums inside the reimagined historic Chase Manhattan Bank headquarters. Designed in 1928 by Chicago-based Graham, Anderson, Probst & White, the Art Deco skyscraper is clad in limestone and punctuated by life-like gargoyles perched on the corners of each setback. In 2009, Africa Isreal Investments teamed up with ARMANI/CASA to redesign the former financial branch into an opulent high-rise residential tower overlooking Chase Manhattan Plaza — known today as 28 Liberty Plaza. Throughout the iconic building, certain architectural details — like the soaring wooden beam ceilings and original vault doors — were preserved to honor its history. 20 Pine is divided into three sections: the standard-sized “residences” on floors four through 24; smaller “concierge” units with panoramic views on floors 25 through 33; and five “penthouse” floors from 34 through 38. 408 residences across 38 floors comprise studios starting at $675,000, three-bedrooms starting at $2.2 million and penthouses starting at $4.2 million.
Interiors by ARMANI/CASA, including luxury brand collabs like Armani/Dada kitchens
Envisioned by a team of Italian designers under the direct leadership of Giorgio Armani, the interiors feel like the residential equivalent of a Giorgio Armani Privé boutique — his couture collection of made-to-order pieces. All 408 units emulate the brand's timeless elegance with a mélange of metallic and neutral colors, sumptuously upholstered sofas and warm, ethereal lighting. The residences, once office areas in the Chase headquarters, feature ebony-stained hardwood floors beneath lofty 13-foot ceilings. Featuring modular kitchens by Armani/Dada, each unit is outfitted with staggering floor-to-ceiling columns, a cantilevered kitchen island, bespoke storage systems, set-back cabinetry with sliding electric doors and a hidden worktop that can be opened as a functional cooking and prep space. Residents can enjoy luxuriously appointed appliances by Fisher & Paykel, Miele and Sub-Zero. "Normally, you can say that the newer buildings have more bells and whistles, but The Collection offers so much in the way of amenities," says Christina Prostano, associate real estate broker on the CP Global Team at Compass. "It’s aesthetic is quite timeless, maybe even ahead of its time. It’s the sort of quiet luxury that’s actually making a comeback now."
Pleasantly surprising amenities, including a Turkish Hamman
Located below the street on cellar levels, amenities unfold in what were once six oversized bank vaults, still featuring original reinforced steel door frames with exposed gears and locks. These subterranean spaces include a 60-foot pool, a Turkish-style Hammam with saunas and treatment rooms, a golf simulator, billiards tables and a private fitness center with a yoga studio, Technogym equipment and weights. There’s also a lounge encircled by a floor-to-ceiling wall of books and a children’s playroom. Upstairs on the third floor, the Collection Club comprises dedicated workspaces, a cozy lounge with a fireplace, a daily Nespresso coffee service and a landscaped terrace with cabana-covered chaise lounges.
Jean Dubuffet’s sculpture, Group of Four Trees
An otherworldly sculpture seemingly made up of hand-drawn pen doodles greets residents as they walk outside 20 Pine. Titled “Group of Four Trees,” this abstract outdoor sculpture by Jean Dubuffet was commissioned by David Rockefeller for Chase Manhattan Bank Plaza in 1972.
Legendary dining in the Financial District, including Chef Jean-Georges Tin Building
Located within one of New York City’s oldest neighborhoods, the Financial District isn’t just a business neighborhood, it is also a cultural mecca with some of the city’s best shopping, dining and entertainment. Stone Street, home to the oldest bars and restaurants in New York, including Stone Street Tavern, is a charming cobblestone lane. A little further along the way, many venture from around the city to sip on craft cocktails at The Dead Rabbit, a tri-level bar and parlor inside a historic 18th-century row house. Nearby, in South Street Seaport, the Tin Building is a market hall curated by Chef Jean-Georges, comprising an assortment of restaurants, bars and a food market. On the other side, by Hudson River Park, Brookfield Place in Battery Park features luxury shops like Louis Vuitton, a food hall with over 20 NYC local vendors and upscale dining at Saint Ambroeus. Meanwhile, there are endless grocery options, but the closest is City Acres in the 70 Pine building, which is also in the same building at Over Story, a cocktail lounge in the clouds of the Manhattan skyline with a 360-degree view of the surrounding locales.
A private entrance to multiple subway lines
Via the subcellar level through a private underground walkway only accessible with a secure key card, residents can access 2, 3, 4, 5, J and Z subway lines. Visitors can utilize Fulton Transit Center, just two blocks south of the busiest subway hub in Lower Manhattan, which serves nine lines: the 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, J, R and Z trains. For the adventurous, multiple routes run along the NYC Ferry from the Wall Street/Pier 11 passenger terminal, including East River, South Brooklyn and Astoria.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
