Rising 60 stories along the East River of Manhattan, 1 Seaport at 161 Maiden Lane, was a luxury condo tower poised to become another iconic real estate venture in the city. However, after major construction mistakes were made, the tower and its owners entered a deep hole of financial turmoil, litigation and failed promises. All of this has left a once $400 million condo tower, completely abandoned in one of the densest cities on earth, now tilting precariously to one side. This is New York's leaning, abandoned condo tower.

As someone who works for one of NYCs largest general contractors, it makes me laugh when these developers think they can cheap out when building A SKYSCRAPER… there are many many shady contractors out there who survive purely off of low balling bids. Never, ever, ever, cheap out. Something will eventually happen and you’re going to wish you went with the reputable company rather than the cheap one.
at the same time, the customer should understand good work isn't cheap. if they accept the lowest bid, its equally on them. i do high voltage work at an Intel plant, and even the "reputable" union companies cheap out, break protocol, and are a year behind schedule like everyone else. from my limited 23 years of life, only difference i've seen between good and bad companies on a site are pay and how good your benefits are. yall still fuckin over the laborers, while yall put on a hard hat after sitting in your office, actin like youre hands aren't clean when you go home (maybe not you specifically depending on your position). idgaf what anyone says, PMs should not be making more than fools with 10+ years of experience still in the field.
In your opinion, would a leaning building be safe during hurricanes?
@@nanky432 leaning tower of pisa seems to be doing just fine 😂 its been through goddamn earthquakes
NYC is on the path to be detriotize as crime, illegals & homeless soar, meanwhile big corps heading for the exits.
If you think the guys that know what they're doing are expensive just wait until you see how much it's going to cost using one's that aren't.
I’ll never stop being confused at developers trying to cut corners on ultra-expensive, luxury homes. Who wants to pay millions of dollars for subpar results?
No one “wants” to. No less than 80% of new builds are done just that way though it’s not a new practice either.
The developers and contractors cut corners because they don't just want to make a good profit. They want to make millions. They'll find an engineer who will swear that a shortcut is perfectly safe and they'll do it. I wouldn't be so sure that chemically treating the soil to make it strong enough to support the building is a long-term fix.
@@Realwaltersobchakyou're saying 80% of buildings are done the way that they did this tower? It just didn't work out because the Tower is so tall or whatever?
To me, it seems like if there's any question, you look at the more expensive option as disaster insurance. How much worse can the cost be to do it right, when compared to the overall cost of such a huge project, and the ruinous expenss if you have to redo it or tear it down?
@@creedolala6918rich people usually get rich by being cheap bastards in every form of business
@@creedolala6918 every contractor wants to save money and use cheaper materials.
“Abandoned since 2018” Ah, so like 2 years ago… oh wait… shit…
I don't like thinking about this
That's like, 8 years from now, right?
This is so real 😭
WHERE TIME HAS GONE
Covid took away a few years of life experience.
I don't know what's more impressive. that a leaning building can be considered safe or the fact someone managed to spray paint the top of the building with seemingly no way to get there other than repelling off the roof
I'm genuinely impressed by the graffiti
That’s a rappel job - very popular style in nyc
I would've been impressed if it was a banksy.
@@whispersoftheafterlife1017 thats better than anything banksy did or will ever do.
It's only leaning by a tiny amount, a few inches at the top iirc
This building will never be finished and will have to be demolished. No one in their right mind will pay top dollar for a building with a questionable foundation that has been sitting out in the elements for half a decade. It will take a few hundred million just to finish it and fix the problems. Knowing this it will be impossible to find an investor/buyer or to find financing for that property.
I agree. Someone will eventually come along to pay for the land and demo of the building.
@@johngavin3109 Hopefully not the NYC (or New York state) taxpayer though!
Plus its cursed.
They ll finish it and fill it with migrants
there is one in San Francisco that sold...there are foundation fixes that can be done...The Millennium Tower lean has been stabilized..but still issues
I literally saw a short about this three days ago and thought “Jake would be all over that.”
And there he is. He already was. Sweet! Now I get to learn more.
I get to learn more because he uploaded it.
Its so autistic to refer to a channel by the name of the guy.
@@mkhanman12345 I knew SF had a leaning tower but I didn't know that NYC had one as well !
Good time for a rebrand of the building. It should be called 'The Leaning Tower of Pizzarotti' 😉
That graffiti! 9 floors! That's insane... how did they do that? Some massive rappelling? Some kind of inside help? All done by a fancy drone with a spray can on it? Just wild. And it'll be wild if they have to demolish this building. Taking down that much concrete carefully enough to not have it land on the street below will be quite the task. Thanks for the video!
I wonder how no one saw the graffiti artist at work. That's not exactly a private piece of wall.
no one in that shithole looks up@@Bobrogers99
There is similar tagging in tall buildings and bridges all around the city. You're correct in assuming there's some rappelling involved, but certainly not one with carbines and safety lines lol
Seriously, that graffiti-artist deserves their own video!
A drone! That’s actually a good guess I think. It’s probably more likely than repelling, someone on an upper floor in one of the buildings near by would definitely notice a person hanging off the building, but probably not a drone.
Not a big fan of tall, skinny buildings. I worked at an old, thin tower nearby -- 70 Pine St. -- for several years in one of the highest floors. Whenever the wind blew, it swayed, alarmingly. Doors would swing open, the elevators would bang back and forth in the shafts. The building was built in the 1920's and had stood firm through many ferocious hurricanes so we thought it was safe, but I found the swaying to be unnerving for sure.
Maybe it wasn't the wind, maybe there are ghosts!
Buildings are designed to sway a little.
These days most of them have counter weights built in the top floor that keep them from swaying like that. Of course, this one was apparently not built like "most buildings."
@@karlwithak.Yes, but the fine buildings of the 1920s tend to be super well-built and built way over-code, so the 70 Pine St beauty, one of the finest old buildings in NYC, can probably be made to last another 100 or even much more with the proper care. After all, Europe is stuffed with buildings that are as old as 700 years and built with hand tools, that are standing as strong as they did when built. That said, cities like NYC and Chicago already have quite enough super-tall buildings and don't need any more. Supertall buildings are much more complex and demanding to design, build, and maintain than buildings 20 stories or less, requiring much more expertise in their design and construction, and many more and better-trained personnel to operate and maintain. There are relatively few people in any society who can carry the costs these buildings have, which is why high-rise low-income housing projects are such failures and quickly become unsanitary and unsafe. We probably should not build any more supertalls because they tend to become white elephants as they age, especially in cities with less wealth than NYC.
@@chicagonorthcoast 'Europe is stuffed with buildings that are as old as 700 years and built with hand tools, that are standing as strong as they did when built. ' name one super tall, 700-year-old skyscraping tower in europe. right. there aren't any. so are you comparing apples with oranges?
That tower is an eyesore, and it breaks my heart to see this city slowly have the life priced out of it by glass luxury housing. Just last year we lost a victorian landmark to developers in Brooklyn. (Dengler Mansion)
The city doesn't need more unaffordable housing, let alone a building that will never be finished
Just looked it up, it was beautiful
Sad to hear of yet another wonderful old NYC building being demolished so that a "higher use" i.e. a ginormously over-scaled & over-priced glass tower, can be built.
@@karlwithak. it overlooked the seaport, one of the oldest parts of the city, and a beautiful spot. hell even the Bronx River has been cleaned up. It's not the nasty place people remember from the 70s and i'm kind of tired of people thinking it is
not you starting beef in the comments section bro!!! huge L @@karlwithak.
"no a sentence" as the grown man cries about the youth's vernacular. this is super weird for you to get upset about bro@@karlwithak.
There’s actually a lot of abandoned buildings in nyc. They’re just not concentrated in one area
And some fake buildings.
@@REXXSEVEN_II fake buildings? what's that?
😂😂😂 mention since you are in iran
@@Heyu7her3well for one, quite a few* buildings are just vent stations for the subway.
I wonder how many abandoned buildings?
What is it with these big real estate companies investing millions into projects that get either bankrupt or have lawsuits filed and leave it abandoned?
late-stage capitalism aka unfettered greed and impatience for returns
…it’s the cash on the front end ya know (then disappears)
Construction is one of the easiest way to launder money.
Yes you can only wonder about that and still great video of Jake considering the bad news lately and other creators going away.
Union's! And organized crime.
There's a tower in my hometown of Edmonton, that's been empty for almost 12 years. There's no fines, no structural issues, nothing.
Just abandoned
I live in Edmonton too. Which tower are you referring? I find abandoned buildings fascinating.
@@Jeffmorgan83 Enbridge Tower on Jasper Ave. They've been turning it into a hotel since 2018 with little progress. I think there are a couple of businesses in it now, but most are 1 man call centres
@@OuterSpawn Oh that's right!
Strong Financials...
Flip to condos.
I live directly across from this thing and I have to look at it every day when I wake up and go to sleep, so happy to see you cover it
I was in disbelief when I saw how small that parking lot was that served as the plot for this tower. Manhattan is becoming a parody of itself, there's simply no room left for the endless growth people demand.
It has increased. Look it up.
yes, illegal emigrants.@@stopmakingsense9915
It's sick that this glass monstrosity was approved in that tiny narrow space so close to historic structures. NYC is just as to blame as the developers for this ridiculous overbuilding and destruction of open space and sunlight. Hope it sits there and rots for years and they have to choke on the taxes.
"2015, nearly a decade ago." Hah that's ridiculous, there's no wa- *Looks at a calender* Oh dear god no
It makes sense bc when you were younger time was slower since you barely existed compared to adults
I legit thought you were pointing this out as an error made lol
When you are younger not only do you have less responsibilities (usually) but you also have less memories to look back on from experiences. The more you can slightly look back with memories or feelings of the time the further away you discover it was and the feeling of time passing away becomes more noticeable. It's a painful and sad reality but I hope it makes grateful for the some good people in life now whom we might not have later.
3 years from 2018 is hardly a decade...
@@NatureXwars He's talking about when construction first started in 2015.
Isn’t it odd that both coasts of the United States have a leaning tower? San Francisco has Millennium Tower and New York has 1 Seaport
St Louis also does, and is in the middle
The perfect balance
It is, though what’s even stranger to me is that next to nobody in NYC has heard of 1 Seaport. It’s certainly news to me.
@damnjustassignmeone Don't count on any honest reporting from the msm. Unless it's negative and dishonest President Trump news. The tagging was impressive...lol

Tall and narrow buildings are extremely prone to structural deformities.
I wonder if they are twerking on a buttress? 😉
And FUGLY
So true I imagine for anything like that the footer would have to be 100-200 ft deep to where you positivity Confirm your all the down to bedrock and do drilling samples to confirm
Yes if you go with the lowest bidder, I can almost guarantee you corners will be cut ,and it will be way,way more in the long run to correct
Little 'margin for error' !
Wow, that ad transition was smoother than cake icing. Jokes aside, been watching your videos since the early abandoned days. Keep it up, Jake
Yes he really is amazing given now with the issues of CZcams and a lot of content creators quitting these days along with other bad news about CZcams now but somehow it really surprised me this creator got going thought he was dead or had gotten kicked out really not as clear cut as I thought and really my mind isn't always okay I can admit.
Graffiti guys had some BALLS!
Or insanity !
@@linmal2242 Yes, haha...pretty insane for sure.
If there is a wall, it will be tagged😅
My ferry goes by that tower every day, and I always wondered why construction was so slow.
that is the poorest design ive ever seen for something reaching far into the sky like that. wow, very scary stuff
FIRST BSF VIDEO OF THE YEAR LET'S GO! 🎉
Yes it really is and these days way uncertain along with a lot of CZcams creators quitting but somehow he got through.
5:00 : Actually, after watching enough YT and news videos about SF’s Millenium Tower, I’m glad that, while abandoned, this tower wasn’t inhabited, potentially unnecessarily risking more human lives. Thanks for the video!
The building wouldn't have been a risk to human life. This has been abandoned because the development company and their primary construction contractor had a massive falling-out, got into legal squabbles, froze progress, and everyone else pulled out.
I've been following the Millenium Tower fiasco, nice that NYC said "hold my beer".
Honestly, 1 Seaport and Chicago Spire are sort of life lessons on what happens when a developer cuts corners on a project and tries to get it done quickly, basically a quantity over quality thing
The Chicago Spire does not count as such a project as not a single piece of it got built to begin with. The hole for the foundation was dug but the market turned and the financing fell through just as construction was about to begin. It was our banking system that was tottering at that time, not the non-existent building. The hole is still there. I haven't heard what will be done with it one way or the other for a decade.
It's a downward spire full of water with a luxury chainlink fence around it. After one person drowned in it, they decided that the fence would deter people.
I always wonder if and/or how many bodies have been disappeared in there.
Chicago Spire has never been more than a hole in the ground. The banking crisis dried up all the easy credit.
@@VinceP1974 , How I remember how disappointed we were when that project was canceled. I've stared at that hole a lot since.
Great post Jake. I remember seeing the episode. Personally, I have never seen the attraction of NYC unless one grew up in a suburb and wants to experience city life (garbage on the streets, stepping over homeless people to get to Starbucks, and a rent invoice that should come with a defibrillator.). Ironically, people are willing to pay $10K a sq. ft. to live there and I wouldn't be surprised if someone took their chances on a building with improper footings. As for the one in San Francisco, yikes. They are due for another quake. A 30" list would be more than alarming.
Awesome to see you haven’t left! Hope you cover more abandoned chains and parks as my dream redo of Nick Studios just happened last episode.
Yes it's been tough these years along with so many creators going away or quitting now.
RIP to the man who died while the building was being built. That hurt my heart to hear 😞💔
I was born in Manhattan, NYC in '55. My Dad an Iron Worker and a son of an Italian immigrant, my Grand Father, who was a Stone Mason, both managed to build perfect buildings with little more than hand tools 75-125 years ago, that still stand today with no problem. My oh my have things gotten far worse as we have so called "advanced" in technology.
Designers and developers have this rule - when the project manager asks you how long something is going to take you estimate the time and then double it. These developers need a similar rule. Come up with whatever idea you have and then right before you announce it cut it in half. Build something you can actually finish. Build it at the highest quality possible and create a thing of beauty, a landmark that will stand the test of time.
What an awesome story about the luxury condo tower. Hard to believe, but true. Thanks for the great video, with a lot of impressions and information about the abandoned tower.
I walked by this tower everyday to work for 9 months. I was told by my co workers it was "leaning". I would see people working there off and on but not much seemed to be getting done. It wasn't "weathering" then but I have not seen it since COVID started. Looks rough now!
Jake should do a video on Goldin Finance 117, it’s nearly 2,000 feet tall and is completely abandoned in the middle of nowhere in Tianjin, China!
That sounds really intriguing and I’ve never heard of it
ohh yeah alot of stuff abandoned and falling apart in china. but getting videos and pictures is hard in a communist dictatorship
Its so autistic to refer to a channel by the name of the guy when you don't know them personally. Do you really think you are friends with the dude?
There are entire cities that are almost entirely if not entirely abandoned in China, not to mention individual buildings. The great urbanization project has not been nearly as successful as the government needed, and now that China's population is shrinking (a shrinking which will accelerate) it's stuck with a lot of dead space.
You should look into the "Majesty Building." It's not necessarily abandoned, just a story of a televangelist's idea of a 0 debt building. Construction started around 2001 and is still not finished. The locats love it.
There needs to be a law that holds every developer accountable when projects like these are abandon. From the initial developers and investors that broke ground to the current owners exc. This will hold the blame to every party that comes in and not shift until completed
Thank you, kind sir for this video. I stayed at the hotel indigo (building next door) back in 2018 or 2019 and I never would have imagined 161 maiden lane would remain unfinished, especially given the location. I'm guessing the architect sought design inspiration from an elevator shaft.
Its wild to me how much the skyline has changed in the last 15ish years. These stick buildings are all over the place now
And they’re ugly.
I lived in this area 2018-2021. The area where this building is also...sucks. Seaport is cool but it gets old after a few monrhs when its your only option, and the nerest subway stop is like 3 long blocks away through a part of fidi that has an odd vibe
Agreed. I typically wind up at South Street Seaport once every couple of years and it is kind of odd. You still have the markets.. they’ve just moved up a couple of blocks. ESPN built that entire studio complex on the end of an adjacent pier.. yet it’s empty on weekends. There’s that little wedge park. I liked South Street Seaport before it went upscale… the museum area is an upscale shopping mall. I was shocked to see a Capital Grille there. Who’s renting/buying these properties post-pandemic where the Street has arguably at least 50% less employees showing up everyday?
I was just there yesterday visiting and wondered about this building. Perfect timing for this upload!
As a rural bavarian who had never been higher than a bell tower i could never live in one of these skyscrapers. I'd live in constant fear and anxiety.
they are definately a fire hazard....floor 3 is as high as your should be...in fires its 1 breath of smoke which kills, not heat and flame!!
They are needed for recycling drug money.
That is called 'common sense' friend
Rarely do windows open. It's all 'ventilated' air.
Your bathroom is literally a much bigger hazard, or driving on snowy roads.
I've been waiting for a video on this building from you, Jake! I agree it is super eerie seeing it as a part of the skyline, especially at night. Really strange that SO much money can get caught up behind such a seeming lack of foresight.
Same! I hope the video does well.
The glazing is likely to need replacing and the elevator core some retrofitting, but it's perfectly safe structurally. The problem is the bottom fell out of the ultra-luxury market AND this building is now tainted, in a price range where image means everything. It's going to take a special developer to accept the risk, and with interest rates sky high that is not likely to happen anytime soon. But it will be completed, when conditions are just right.
I can’t understand why you don’t have a series on net flicks. I always sooo look forward to my new BSF video!
Damn, I was in New York almost a year ago and never noticed it when I was around the area. Might go back just to see it
I enjoyed your video.
I live in Corpus Christi Texas and we have/had a big too do about the bridge that we are trying to build over our harbor. The buffoons that are our City council, in their non-existent wisdom hired the same company for the project that built the bridge in Florida that fell. A good ways into construction, we found out that they had made some big mistakes on the two towers that straddle the harbor. The main, most important ones of the whole project. I've lost track of how many companies have cycled through, now. Those 2 towers are to be torn down and replaced. This project is years overdue and has had many quality and financial issues.
Just another time our Council has dropped the ball. We also had a ton of problems with the Schliterbaun(sp?) that was another nightmare on our island.
You could prolly ditch snow bound Canada for the lovely subtropical weather we have here to have an infinite number of shows. Or, at least open up a BSF satellite location.
Is it true every high school in Corpus has a maternity ward?
@@eradicator187 And an abortion clinic where you should have been.
That bridge collapse in Florida was criminal!
Assuming the worst case scenario, how do you demolish a building that size in such a densely populated area?
That is a great question
Slowly
Easy it’s just deconstructed just like how they deconstructed 270 park avenue.
I wonder if it will be a lot more difficult, though, considering how slender the tower is
@@BrightSunFilms Unlikely from my understanding of how deconstruction works it is pretty much construction done backwards.
The Weekend starts perfect when there is the first BSF Video of the Year poppin' up. 🎉 I must watch this immediately.
You know it's a good day when Jake uploads
Great video. Clear, concise and professional.
im around this area often and had no idea about any of this!!! love seeing a video based around somewhere so close to home!
its actually not uncommon for entire floors of the downtown new york area to be entirely empty due to financial or lack of interest reasons. people and businesses are feeling the state and city because of its policies and problems and so there are a lot of places that are just left to holding companies. they make it seem otherwise for pr reasons, but if you *live* there, you can tell. an ENTIRE building empty might be a rarity, i cant say. but its definitely not the only place in Manhattan that is suffering.
Crazy to see an abandoned building at one of the most valuable sites in the world
i live a few blocks from this building - it’s unbelievable how they’ve just left it like that
Thanks for the update on this building
So glad you’re back! Love your videos. Still waiting for the (hopefully) eventual Chippawa lake park video
Thanks so much! It’ll come one day, I promise
That's reminds me of the hotel structure in Atlantic city NJ, who was abandoned then finished by new contractors. The ocean casino and resort hotel also changed ownership over the years.
BSF always has such interesting, well-produced content. One of the best CZcams channels IMO. Thanks for another great video.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this fantastic video! Up until yesterday, every time I passed by it, I asked myself why it was like that, and now I know.
SO EXCITED TO SEE ANOTHER EPISODE!! 😊 Great job, Jake!!
"2015 almost a decade ago", I had to step away for a few moments ...
Yeah… I know
The lost years of COVID…
Developers cutting corners instead of just doing the job right the first time? I'm shocked, shocked.
I hear closed for storm is an excellent documentary. That guy is pretty cool. Nice job Jake with that little Easter egg.
I'd like to see how bad the inside of this building is. It looks like security is tight for now but nature has probably done quite a bit of damage. Especially if they started finishing out the interior.
Another masterpiece of the video. Thank you for posting this.
I live several blocks away from this doom development, and it's definitely an eye sore that should be dealt with. I'm willing to bet that if glass panels or concrete starts coming off the building and hitting the streets below, the NYC department of buildings with demolish the building for safety reasons in a heartbeat. Late 2023, the parking garage on 57 Ann Street collapsed and killed one person, than the NYC DOB listed it as unsafe and slowly demolished the building.
@karlwithak. Looking down on a pile of garbage? Those apts have (had) views of the Seaport and Brooklyn Heights, very beautiful views.
Yes, so glad you’re back!
Thanks for watching!

When the huge towers are built the foundations should be very carefully inspected every step of the way. No cutting corners.

Yup just like of Millenium tower here in The Bay!
Thanks for sharing it. ✌️
Good to hear your voice. Thanks
Hope all builders & developers watched stories about this tower and the Millennium Tower… that Cheaping out (on foundation) will cost you dearly later…
they dont care.....FREEMASON and insurance scam
Speculators don't care- they figure that they'll sell the units and be gone before the first shovel hits the dirt. All the bad buildings built in the past 40 years are bad because our financial establishment and our monetary policies i.e. interest rate repression forever, drive short-term speculation at the expense of long-term investment. Crap is built to last a depreciation schedule at best, and city officials are so eager for "growth" at any cost, that they let a lot slide in the approval process.
Yo. Please figure out how to get in those DTLA towers. That art is wild, and its been abandoned for years.
I always look forward to these there amazing
Someone got paid off. That foundation work didn't go unnoticed when it was being done or the Blueprints were reviewed. It will end up being dismantled.
Trying to build anything in NY/CA these days is like walking through a grassy field full of land mines and angry rattle snakes.
I'd love to know how much money the NYC government got for this building, where that money went, and which politicians walked away with new summer homes.
Every time I see these pencil towers I always think they'll fall over if there's any kind of serious windstorm
Earth quakes!!!

I worked at Maiden Lane back in the 1960sL it was the headquarters of a bank (Chase I think - it's been a very long time). I cannot even imagine them tearing down that beautiful 1800s building.*
This building was abandoned almost at the same time as Oceanwide Plaza in L.A. And I thought, man this one will get graffitied too. And the video proved me right.
Very slick transition into the sponsor ad at the end, Jake. Well done. lol
This matter sounds like the leaning
