99 Church Street is a Privately Owned Public Space in the Financial District near the Tribeca border, providing an outdoor plaza near the World Trade Center and City Hall areas.
Church Street at this location runs through the rebuilt World Trade Center district, connecting the memorial site to the Civic Center and Tribeca. The street has been central to the post-9/11 reconstruction of Lower Manhattan.
The Woolworth Building, one of the most beautiful skyscrapers in the world, stands nearby on Broadway. Completed in 1913 and designed by Cass Gilbert in a neo-Gothic style, the building was the tallest in the world for 17 years and remains one of the finest examples of early skyscraper architecture.
The POPS serves the Lower Manhattan community in a neighborhood where colonial history, 21st-century tragedy, and ongoing reconstruction create one of the most emotionally and historically complex urban landscapes in America.
This plaza provides public space near the architectural splendor of the Woolworth Building and the solemn significance of the World Trade Center site.
