52 Broadway is a Privately Owned Public Space on Broadway in the Financial District, providing an indoor publicly accessible lobby near Bowling Green and the Charging Bull sculpture.
Broadway at this location is near the southern tip of Manhattan, where the island narrows to a point and the harbor opens up before the viewer. The proximity to Battery Park, the ferry terminals, and the Statue of Liberty makes this one of the most visited areas of Lower Manhattan.
The Bowling Green, the oldest public park in New York City (established 1733), is directly adjacent. The small oval park was where the Declaration of Independence was read to George Washington's troops in 1776, and where they subsequently toppled a statue of King George III.
The POPS at 52 Broadway serves visitors, commuters, and workers near one of the most historically dense intersections in America, where colonial rebellion, financial capitalism, and contemporary tourism all share the same pavement.
This lobby space provides public access near the birthplace of both American independence and American finance.
