28 Liberty Street, Skyscraper in Financial District, Manhattan, US
28 Liberty Street is a glass and aluminum skyscraper in Lower Manhattan comprising 60 floors above ground and five basement levels. The tower rises approximately 248 meters and contains 37 elevators that serve the building's thousands of daily occupants.
The building was initiated in the mid-1950s to consolidate banking operations in a single location. Its construction represented a major shift in how the financial district developed and reshaped Lower Manhattan's urban landscape.
Art installations including Jean Dubuffet's sculpture group and a Japanese rock garden with basalt stones and fountains occupy the building's plaza. These works shape how visitors experience the space and reflect the building's role as a cultural landmark within the financial district.
The building connects to three subway stations through an underground concourse, making it easy to reach via public transportation. The plaza is best explored during daylight hours when the gardens and sculpture are fully visible.
The building's structural design uses 40 steel columns positioned around the perimeter to maximize flexibility for interior office layouts. This engineering approach was innovative for its time and allowed spaces to be reconfigured easily.
