375 Pearl Street is a skyscraper built in 1976 in Manhattan , New York near the Brooklyn Bridge . It is 165 meters high and extends over 32 floors.
The building is also called the Verizon Building and is therefore not to be confused with the New York Telephone Building or the skyscraper on 1095 Avenue of the Americas , which also have this nickname.
The massive concrete block that is inevitably shown in many photos of the Brooklyn Bridge is considered an eyesore in Lower Manhattan. In December 2007, the telecommunications company Verizon sold the building to Taconic Investment Partners and moved into the New York Telephone Building. Verizon itself only occupies three floors today. Since the high-rise originally only housed technical operating rooms, it only has narrow, vertical ribbon windows. In the first quarter of 2016, Taconic Partners announced that the building would be renovated. The vertical limestone facade elements were then removed from the upper half of the storey and replaced with a continuous glass front in order to improve the aesthetics.
