Become a local in one of New York City’s most historic and celebrated neighborhoods. The Financial District has always been a center of commerce, but it has blossomed into a hub for New York City’s greatest shopping, dining, sight-seeing, art and architecture.
Beyond being one of Manhattan’s most desirable neighborhoods, the Financial District is also one of New York City’s most accessible destinations. Converging subway lines at Fulton Street, ferry terminals at Wall Street and Battery Park City, and the PATH at World Trade Center are all just minutes away from 20 Pine Street.
More than just groundbreaking architecture and beautiful waterfronts, 20 Pine is surrounded on all sides by Manhattan’s most active and vibrant neighborhoods.
Enjoy access to TriBeCa’s world renowned shopping and dining; Chinatown and Little Italy’s most authentic restaurants, markets, parades, and festivals; and the revitalized South Street Seaport.
While the true energy of the Financial District can only be truly experienced firsthand, here is a curated list of some neighborhood favorites.
Lower Manhattan is known for many things – its rich history, bustling commerce and panoramic waterfront views. But often overlooked are the many displays of art and sculpture.
Named for the esteemed New York-based sculptor, Louise Nevelson Plaza was the first public space in the five boroughs dedicated to an artist. At the intersection of Liberty Street, William Street and Maiden Lane, this triangular enclave features Shadows and Flags – seven sculptures crafted in Nevelson’s larger-than-life signature of black, geometric steel.
Red Cube, by one the most celebrated visual artists of the modern era, Isamu Noguchi, is an iconic FiDi sculpture since its installation in 1968. Red Cube’s diagonal lines of red painted steel stand in contrast to the stark horizontal and vertical lines of the adjacent 140 Broadway. The cylindrical hole running upward through the piece, as well as the cube’s topmost point, draw the viewer’s eye skyward.
Commissioned by Chase Manhattan Bank chairman David Rockefeller as a “gift to the bank and the downtown community,” Jean Dubuffet’s Group of Four Trees was the largest outdoor sculpture in New York at the time of its completion in 1972. Standing at 40 feet tall, the massive sculpture was designed to be at scale with the Chase Manhattan Bank headquarters behind it, resulting in a pedestrian-dwarfing grove of abstract trees drawn in a sketchbook style.
