This is a proposal for a major edit of the Downtown Athletic Club article.

OBJECTIVES OF THE EDIT:
 * 1) Add sources and citations.  Research to do this is underway now.
 * 2) Expand coverage in these areas:
 * 3) Details of the building as originally designed;
 * 4) Decline of the Downtown Athletic Club in the context of local economic changes, such as the decline of the shipping industry in Lower Manhattan; and the decline in private clubs generally;
 * 5) Impact of the 9/11 attacks on the club, as a building and as an institution;
 * 6) The transformation of the building into The Downtown Club as an exemplar of adaptive re-use in Lower Manhattan;
 * 7) The cultural influence of the building as reflected in studies and proposals at schools of architecture in the U.S., Germany, Turkey, and Australia.

TIMELINE – Completion expected by November 30, 2008.

QUESTION – The current article mentions that Marisol Deluna owns a duplex in the building and that several Wall Street bankers live there. Sources for this information would be much appreciated; Web searches show no other references. Batteryplace (talk) 20:06, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

 * An outside project delayed my work on the Downtown Athletic Club article. I expect to have the revised article posted by December 31.

Still uncertain – The current article mentions that Marisol Deluna owns a duplex in the building and that several Wall Street bankers live there. Sources for this information would be much appreciated; Web searches show no other references. Batteryplace (talk) 17:27, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Section on 9/11 and Bankruptcy is contradictory.
The first paragraph contains: "The club was less than half a mile south of the World Trade Center and suffered major damage in the September 11, 2001 attacks." The second paragraph contains: "The Downtown Athletic Club was NOT damaged in the 9/11 attack." Please consider revising to correct contradiction. Cjstanonis (talk) 23:38, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Koolhaas Delirious NY
This building is very important in the R. Koolhaas most famous book "Delirious New York". I think this should be mentioned somewhere in the article. 186.53.39.122 (talk) 17:20, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
