Ground was broken on the new headquarters for Goldman Sachs back in
November 2005, well before the bank became a focal point for those
indignant at Wall Street excesses in the post credit-crisis era. Heavily
subsidized by tax breaks, the $2.5 billion building, in downtown
Manhattan, rises 43 stories and was designed by Harry Cobb of Pei Cobb
Freed & Partners to house six trading floors and 2.1 million
square feet of office space. As its 9,000 inhabitants finish moving
in, speculation is rife about just how posh Goldman’s trappings are,
but the company is not drawing attention to swank these days.
