55 Broad Street is a Privately Owned Public Space on Broad Street in the Financial District, providing both indoor lobby and outdoor plaza spaces near the New York Stock Exchange.
Broad Street between Wall Street and Exchange Place is the financial nerve center of the Western world. The New York Stock Exchange, Goldman Sachs, and dozens of other financial institutions line the street that began as a Dutch colonial canal.
The building at 55 Broad Street has served as headquarters for major financial firms, placing its POPS in the densest concentration of financial capital in the world. The nearby Federal Hall, where George Washington was inaugurated as the first President, adds historical depth.
The POPS serves the Financial District's office workers and the growing residential population of Lower Manhattan, providing both indoor and outdoor public space on one of the most commercially significant streets in global finance.
This space provides public access on the street where American capitalism was born and continues to operate at the highest level.
