The Montague–Court Building is a 35-story, 462 ft (141 m) tall commercial office tower at 16 Court Street in Downtown Brooklyn, New York City.[1] It was designed by architect H. Craig Severance and built in 1927.[2] It is the tallest office building and the twelfth tallest building overall in Brooklyn at 462 feet (141 m). The building is 35 stories tall and has a floor area of 317,625 ft2 (29,508.3 m2). In February 2012, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the building as part of the Borough Hall Skyscraper Historic District.[3][4]
The Montague–Court Building has been owned and managed by the CIM Group since 2017, when CIM purchased the structure from SL Green Realty for $171 million.[5] The building was in danger of foreclosure by 2025 due to low occupancy rates.[6]
