80 South Street
80 South Street was a proposed residential skyscraper in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City, that had been planned in the early 21st century. The original proposal for the skyscraper, released in 2003, was designed by renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, and was canceled in 2008 as a result of a declining real-estate market. A new shorter design was planned to be finished in 2016, and China Oceanwide Holdings Limited acquired 80 South Street in March 2016.
