For years, Shawn Hakimian has wondered why a World War I fighter plane sits on the roof of 77 Water Street.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px; padding: 0px;">
“It’s not every day you see an airplane taking off from a New York City building,” says Hakimian, a developer whose 75 Wall Street condominiums have views onto the roof of the neighboring Water Street building and the biplane that is parked there, on a landing strip lined with runway lights. “It’s one of our buyers’ most commonly asked questions.”</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px; padding: 0px;">
When the William Kaufman Organization built the 26-story office tower in 1970, the owner wanted to adorn its roof with something more interesting than air-conditioning machinery. </div>
