FiDi Blog: Growing Up in FiDi
Guest Blogger: Lexy Vandekieft
The FiDi Community has grown exponentially over the last several years and the number of families that call downtown home continues to rise. On the FiDi Families blog, we are sharing the story of one local FiDi tween, who has navigated the streets of FiDi since she was a toddler and shares her unique view of Lower Manhattan.
I moved to the Financial District when I was 3, and I have loved it ever since. From the lively, energetic streets during the weekdays and the peaceful blocks on the weekends, it is truly the perfect place to live. FiDi has wonderful restaurants and stores. Nearby are top retail stores such as Gap, Aldo and Abercrombie and Fitch and small stores as well. One of my favorites is Lee Lee’s Forest at the South Street Seaport. When I suddenly need a white shirt for school, I can always find it nearby. I have a lot of homework on the weekdays, but on the weekends we love to eat out. Adrienne’s Pizza Bar always has my vote, but in a family with 2 other kids, we have to take turns. My brother and sister love Fields Good Chicken and Dos Toros. My parents like Jim Brady’s and Bobby Van’s Steakhouse for my dad’s birthday! No matter what type of food we feel like, there are always multiple options. FIDI is also so wonderful because everyone knows each other. There aren’t many places in New York where you can walk into a restaurant or store and be known by your first name.
FiDi has it all. We also have so many great attractions that are within walking distance, including the South Street Seaport, Chinatown, Little Italy and Brookfield Place in Battery Park. There are also many museums nearby. The South Street Seaport Museum, 9/11 Museum and Anne Frank Museum are all just minutes away. Every season there is something to do. In the winter, I enjoy ice skating. In the summer I frequently go riverside rollerblading and on boats, which leaves from Pier 16. My parents also love taking my brother, sister and I for walks across the Brooklyn Bridge.
The Financial District also has a great history. In 2nd grade when we were studying New Amsterdam, I remember being so excited because everything that we studied was right on my corner. Every street has an astonishing history behind it.
I’m so happy to be turning 15 in such a fun and friendly neighborhood!

Residential buildings in Lower Manhattan used to be a dime a dozen. Times have changed and the neighborhood is getting a revamp with new buildings, new amenities, and dining destinations that are unprecedented. The new luxury buildings that are slated to open in 2016 are impressive and worthy of many discussions on architecture, the new downtown skyline and the onslaught of services that are normally reserved for luxury hotels. A perfect example of luxury and incredible design is the Piet Boon designed 101 Wall residential building. The well-known Dutch designer has created a signature, yet distinctive and unique residential building, with a tip of the hat to the Art Deco architecture of the building.
The building was built in 1931 and Boon has been very thoughtful in his design approach, with a concerted effort to retain the historical details, and he specifically maintained a historical presence of the original design in the lobby. The floorplans are unique and range from one to four bedrooms, as is the neighborhood known as FiDi/Seaport and the building is sophisticated and masterful. The building will offer amenities such as a library, a rooftop lounge, a children’s playroom, and open lounge spaces for residents to enjoy.
101 Wall Building Services and Amenities:
- 24-hour Concierge
- Landscaped roof terrace featuring a gas BBQ grill and views of the East River
- Training Studio designed by Piet Boon and Kevin Dineen of Structure Personal Fitness
- Changing Room with Steam and Sauna
- Golf Simulator
- Residents’ Lounge featuring sitting and dining areas, service bar, and catering kitchen
- Library
- Game Room
- Children’s Playroom
- Bike Storage
- Private Storage included with purchase
- Live-in Resident Manager
The location of 101 Wall, in the Financial District, will allow residents access to green space such as Pier 15, which is steps away, as well as the Imagination Playground, Pier 17 and the Seaport District. The local Downtown Connection will also allow residents easy transportation to the southernmost tip of Lower Manhattan, back up to Tribeca, all compliments of the Downtown Alliance.
