Infobox

Lead

 * "The building served as the headquarters of the Munson Steamship Line from 1904 until 1921, and the company owned the building from 1919 to 1937." - repetition of "building"

Site

 * The second paragraph does not need to begin with exactly the same phrase as the first paragraph

Design

 * "1 Wall Street Court was designed by Clinton and Russell in the Renaissance Revival style.[9][11][3]" - refs in numerical order please
 * "1 Wall Street Court is one of a few buildings in Lower Manhattan that are shaped like a flatiron," - any specific number of buildings?
 * Without going into original research, there's the Flatiron Building itself, and 1 William Street to a lesser extent. However, the sources don't specify a number. epicgenius (talk) 14:01, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Construction

 * Clinton & Russell article's does not feature the & symbol
 * "One such project was headed by the Century Realty Company," - led
 * "The Remington Construction Company was hired as the contractor. The building was planned to cost $600,000." - consider merging these two sentences together?

 * I'm not exactly sure. I didn't find sources that said why. epicgenius (talk) 14:01, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Munson Line use

 * "Frank Munson bought the Beaver Building in July 1919," - who was Frank Munson?
 * Also I cannot see any explicit mention of Frank Munson in the source provided
 * I replaced it with the Munson Steamship Line, which is in the source. epicgenius (talk) 14:01, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Cocoa Exchange use

 * "described at the time as the world's largest cocoa market," - described by whom?

Later use

 * "British developers London & Leeds acquired the Beaver Building, at which point about 70% of the space was vacant." - the percent symbol is to be avoided per MOS:PERCENT
 * "London & Leeds renamed it One Wall Street Court and renovated the interior. The lobby, elevators, and electrical and HVAC systems were refurbished." - I think these two sentences can be merged together
 * "The building was purchased by Cocoa Partners in 1994." - Maybe expand briefly what Cocoa Partners is?
 * ✅ I think it's just a holding company for the actual owners, as is common in real estate here. epicgenius (talk) 14:01, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * "the commercial space was occupied by a "massive store" called" - think the text in quotation marks can be reworded

Critical reception
