161 Maiden Lane
161 Maiden Lane (also known as 1 Seaport or Seaport Residences) is a residential skyscraper on hold in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City. The building leans 3 inches (76 mm) to the north as a result of the method used to construct its foundation.[1] The tilting is the subject of a law suit between the developer, Fortis Property Group, and engineering firm Pizzarotti.[2] The building topped out in September 2018.[3]
