I’ve been calling it the Beekman Tower because I think any building that juts into your local sky, you get to name. But it is officially 8 Spruce Street.  Other amenity include a swimming pool on the 50th floor. I’m being snarky, but it is a beautiful building, sculptural, sleek and definitely not boring. It has the feel of the science fiction future of the Zeppelin moment a few years back. People are living there already. Seventy six stories, they must have a spectacular view.
