75 Wall Residences Atop the Andaz recently partnered with the Financial District (FiDi) Association – a nonprofit organization aimed at growing a vibrant downtown community – to welcome more than 40 top hotel and residential concierges to the neighborhood and spotlight local businesses during a cocktail party in the building’s spectacular rooftop lounge. Guests sipped wine, sampled local delicacies and enjoyed the 360-degree views of downtown and the Hudson and East Rivers – it was a perfect end of summer gathering at Manhattan’s most coveted residential address.

“It was our pleasure to welcome the FiDi Association and their concierge guests to 75 Wall, and show our support for the neighborhood,” said Karen Mansour, executive vice president of DE Development Marketing, the exclusive sales and marketing firm for Hakimian Organization, developer of 75 Wall. “The team at 75 Wall encourages residents to explore their community and take advantage of the culinary and retail destinations located mere steps from their front door.”

One in a series of FiDi Association concierge events, the cocktail party at 75 Wall presented an ideal opportunity for downtown retailers, restaurants and purveyors to share their high-end products. Guests tasted an array of savory bites and hors d’oeuvres from Battery Place Market, elegant chocolates from La Maison du Chocolat, and wine from Downtown Cellars, and learned about FiDi businesses like Downtown NYC Magazine, Tiffany & Company, plastic surgeon Dr. Donald Roland, and Flowers of the World, which provided beautiful floral arrangements for the occasion.

“We had a great turnout, and I was thrilled to see that such a nice mix of concierges and local companies were represented,” said Melissa Andreev, president of the FiDi Association and boutique manager of La Maison du Chocolat. “The venue was absolutely stunning; everyone commented on how gorgeous the location was.”

Three lucky guests went home with incredible raffle prizes, including a $250 Gift Certificate to Flowers of the World and gift boxes from La Maison and Tiffany’s, among others.

Located at the heart of FiDi, the fastest growing residential area in New York City, 75 Wall perfectly pairs a collection of luxury residences with the Hyatt-managed Andaz Wall Street hotel to offer the best in modern city living. Designed by award-winning Rockwell Group, contemporary condominiums –now more than 50 percent sold – range from spacious studios to four-bedroom homes, each boasting exquisite finishes, such as wood lacquer cabinetry by Italian Design Studio and wide-planked cerused oak flooring, lofty ceilings rising above 10 feet, top-of-the-line appliances including washer/dryer, and six-foot windows yielding spectacular panoramic views.

Residents of 75 Wall enjoy an entire floor of resident-only amenities, with a fully-equipped cardio space and yoga studio, club room and multi-media lounge, as well as exclusive access to the building’s spectacular rooftop lounge and terrace. In addition, Abigail Michael’s concierge service is on-call to handle residents’ needs, and an onsite public garage makes parking a breeze.

What’s more, residents can indulge in the hotel’s many luxury services, which include 24-hour room service, catering, and the finest treatments from The SPA at Andaz Wall Street hotel. The hotel, named on the 2012 Condé Nast Traveler Gold List, is also home to Wall & Water, a locally sourced farm-to-table restaurant, and the trendy Bar Seven Five. Additionally, residents can buy fresh produce, meat, dairy and delicious baked goods at the Andaz Wall Street hotel farmer’s market in the property’s neighboring plaza.
