Continental Bank Building

The Continental Bank Building has about 370,000 square feet of floor area in total, including 362,000 square feet of office and 8,000 square feet of retail, according to NYC PLUTO 26v2. These are the city's estimates for the whole building, not space that is available.

City records list 1932 as the year built. The building is 48 floors tall.

The Continental Bank Building is at 30 Broad Street in the Financial District, Manhattan. City records list 30-36 Broad Street, 64-66 Exchange Place and 30 New Street on the same tax lot (BBL 1000240029). A space listed on Leasemark at any of these addresses shows up on this page.

The NYC Department of Finance's 2026/27 assessment roll lists 30 BROAD STREET VENTURE LLC as the owner of record of the Continental Bank Building (BBL 1000240029). Big buildings are usually held through a company set up for that one property, so the name on the roll can differ from the landlord's brand or the managing agent. Deeds and mortgages for the lot are public in ACRIS, the city's property records system.

The Continental Bank Building last sold in April 2016 for $130 million, according to the deed recorded with the city. GOTHAM BROAD, LLC sold it to 30 BROAD STREET VENTURE LLC. That comes to about $351 per square foot of floor area. The deed is ACRIS document 2016040400280001 (BBL 1000240029) in the city's property records. A sale of the company that owns a building is not recorded as a deed, so it would not show there.

The Continental Bank Building reported an ENERGY STAR score of 87 for calendar year 2024 in its Local Law 84 benchmarking filing. Under Local Law 33, as amended by Local Law 95 of 2019, a score of 85 or higher earns an A, 70 to 84 a B, 55 to 69 a C and under 55 a D, so 87 earns an A. The Department of Buildings assigns the grade a building posts, so the posted label can differ if a filing was corrected. Its site energy use came to 35.6 kBtu per square foot, 47% below the national median of 67 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 1,673 metric tons of CO2e (3.72 kg per square foot).

At its 2024 energy use, the Continental Bank Building comes to about 1,217 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 3,572 tons for 2024 to 2029 (34% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 1,262 tons and the same energy use counts as about 685 tons, still under the limit. This is an estimate from the owner's 2024 benchmarking filing using the coefficients and per-use limits in the law and the Department of Buildings rule, at $268 per ton over. It is not the building's Local Law 97 report, which can count credits and deductions this estimate cannot.

In the 12 months to October 2026, the Department of Buildings issued first permits for 5 jobs at the Continental Bank Building. In the last two years, interior work was permitted on 49 floors (floors 1 to 49, the cellar, the mezzanine and the sub-cellar). The newest build-out, on floors 1 and 2, the cellar and the sub-cellar, was first permitted in June 2026 (construction; filed cost estimate $68 million). A sidewalk shed permit here is active until January 7, 2027. These are the Department of Buildings' DOB NOW work permits for tax lot 1000240029. A permit is approval to do the work; it does not say who the work is for or whether it is finished.

The city's property tax records for BBL 1000240029 show the actual bill.
