60 Wall Street (see map) is a 55-storey (745 feet, 227 meters) skyscraper in Lower Manhattan, New York City. It currently serves as the American headquarters of Deutsche Bank. 60 Wall Street was built between 1987 and 1989 as the headquarters for J.P. Morgan & Co. (today part of JPMorgan Chase). It has 1.7 million square feet (160,000 sq m) of office space. Completed in 1989, 60 Wall Street was the largest corporate building to be built in the Financial District.
60 Wall Street was designed by Kevin Roche, John Dinkeloo & Associates. It is a blend of the postmodern, Greek-revival, and neoclassical styles created to help emphasize its height and size.
60 Wall Street was purchased by Deutsche Bank in 2001 for $600 million, with no specific plans for the building. However, the 9/11 event cause the loss of the bank's 130 Liberty Street Deutsche Bank building, compelling it to move into this building.
Today 60 Wall Street is surrounded by slender pre-World War II towers, such as the American International Building and 20 Exchange Place, making a prominent impact on the Lower Manhattan skyline.
