The Habitat Company on Thursday announced the first residents have moved in to their new homes at Cassidy on Canal, 350 North Canal Street in the Fulton River District.

The 28-story mixed-use building, located at the corner of Fulton and Elizabeth Streets, has reached its maximum height of 314 feet and ranks seventh in the construction countdown.
Final exterior touches are underway for Cassidy on Canal, a 33-story, 355-foot-tall mixed-use high rise located at 350 N Canal Street in the Fulton River District. The project is being co-developed by The Habitat Company and Diversified Real Estate Capital LLC.
