90 Washington Street is a Privately Owned Public Space in the Financial District near the Tribeca border, providing an outdoor plaza near the World Trade Center area.
Washington Street at this location runs through the rebuilt World Trade Center district, connecting the memorial site to the Tribeca residential neighborhood. The street has been transformed from a commercial thoroughfare to a mixed-use corridor serving residents, office workers, and visitors.
The 9/11 Memorial and Museum, one block east, draws millions of visitors annually to the reflecting pools set in the footprints of the original Twin Towers. The POPS serves the daily population of this emotionally significant district.
The rebuilding of the World Trade Center area has created one of the most significant collections of new public space in Lower Manhattan, with the memorial plaza, the Oculus, and surrounding POPS forming a network of publicly accessible spaces.
This plaza provides outdoor space in a neighborhood that has been rebuilt from tragedy, where memorial, commerce, and daily life coexist on streets that carry profound emotional weight.
