45 Broadway is a Privately Owned Public Space on Broadway in the Financial District, providing an indoor publicly accessible lobby on one of the oldest and most important streets in Manhattan.
Broadway in the Financial District follows the route of an ancient Lenape trail that predates European settlement by thousands of years. The trail became the Dutch colony's main road and has served as Manhattan's primary north-south avenue ever since.
The Charging Bull sculpture (also known as the Wall Street Bull), located on Broadway near Bowling Green a few blocks south, has become one of the most famous public sculptures in the world. The 7,100-pound bronze bull symbolizes financial optimism and American market capitalism.
The POPS at 45 Broadway serves the Financial District community on a street that has been the main road through Manhattan for over four centuries, connecting the colonial settlement at the Battery to the modern city beyond.
This lobby space provides public access on the oldest continuously used road in Manhattan.
