116 John Street

Managed by Grep Atlantic LLC, the building at 116 John Street in the Financial District, Manhattan has 35 floors and 416 units. Built in 1931, this is a pre-war building reflecting the mid-rise construction typical of the era in Manhattan. This building has apartments that entitle you to a renewal and limited rent increases. This regulatory status limits how much the rent can increase from year to year and gives tenants a right to renew their lease. Additionally, it is pet-friendly, and renters should confirm size, breed, and count limits with the building before signing. Nearby transit includes the 2, 3, A, C, and J subway lines, providing access to various parts of the city. The Financial District is a residential area of Manhattan, known for its mix of commercial and residential spaces. Prospective renters can find building ratings, reviews, and open-data records on the building page.

116 John Street offers clean, spacious apartments with attentive, friendly staff including doormen and maintenance. Residents enjoy good amenities such as a gym and rooftop, though the gym is now fee-based and the rooftop access can be complicated. The building shares space with a short-term rental company, Sonder, occupying large portions and causing noise, pest issues, and tenant management conflicts. Many renters appreciate the location in FiDi, natural light, and community feel but note high and frequent rent increases, occasional noisy construction, and sometimes slow responsiveness from management. Overall, it suits those seeking a well-managed building but with caution on rent hikes and short-term rental coexistence.
