2 New York Plaza is a Privately Owned Public Space along the Water Street corridor in the Financial District, near the southern tip of Manhattan. The outdoor plaza is part of the extensive chain of POPS that line Water Street.
The New York Plaza complex is one of the largest office developments in the Financial District, occupying several blocks near the East River waterfront. The POPS at this address serves the complex's substantial office worker population.
Water Street's POPS corridor has been the subject of recent improvement efforts by the city and building owners, aiming to transform what were often bare, underused plazas into more inviting public spaces with better seating, plantings, and amenities.
The Financial District's southern tip, near the ferry terminals to Staten Island, Governors Island, and the Statue of Liberty, is one of the most visited areas of Lower Manhattan. The POPS along Water Street serve both commuters and tourists.
This plaza contributes to the network of public spaces that are gradually making the Financial District a more pedestrian-friendly and livable neighborhood.
