44 Union Square sits prominently at the northeast corner of Manhattan’s Union Square Park repurposed as a 70,200sf Class A commercial building, with dramatic changes unanimously approved by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. The reinvented building commands attention. Its former life as the last headquarters for the powerful Tammany Hall political organization is apparent in its preserved facades, but the visible rooftop expansion evokes a deeper history, serving as a living monument to the indigenous Lenape people.
