88 Greenwich Street, also known as the Greenwich Club Residences and previously as 19 Rector Street, is a building on the south side of Rector Street between Greenwich and Washington Streets in the Financial District of Manhattan in New York City. Built in 1929–30, the 37-story building was designed by Lafayette A. Goldstone and Alexander Zamshnick in the Art Deco style.^[4]

An entrance to the New York City Subway's Rector Street station was in the basement of the building, and opened in 1931.^[5] This entrance had closed by 1941.^[6]

88 Greenwich Street was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. The building was renovated into residential condominium use in 2006.^[4] In 2012, the building was affected by flooding from Hurricane Sandy. Three million cubic feet of salt water entered the basement of the building, causing significant damage.^[7]^[8] During the flooding, water dislodged an oil tank, which cracked after hitting a ceiling beam.^[9]
