130 William Street
Completed in 2023, 130 William Street is an exciting new luxury condominium building in Manhattan’s Financial District.
AKRF served as acoustical consultant and civil engineer for the 66-story, 242-residence tower, which includes a health club, fitness center, movie theater, outdoor terraces, and a rooftop observatory deck. Street-level amenities include retail space and a new public plaza. 130 William Street was developed by Lightstone and designed by Adjaye Associates with Hill West Architects.

Complex site requires careful acoustical design
We worked with the architectural design team to create acoustical isolation details that would be incorporated into the project drawing sets. AKRF reviewed the potential for intrusion of air- and structure-borne noise due to a half-court basketball court, fitness center, and emergency generator room, and proposed practical solutions for areas of concern.
The proximity of the building to two separate underground subway lines required careful evaluation of existing vibration and ground-borne noise, as well practical mitigation design for the basement-level IMAX Theater.
