2 New York Plaza

2 New York Plaza is a 40-story glass tower located at 125 Broad Street in the Financial District, positioned at the southern edge of Manhattan's business skyline. The structure sits among other commercial high-rises that define this dense district of downtown Manhattan.

Designed by architect Ely Jacques Kahn, the building was completed in 1977 during a major expansion of commercial development throughout Lower Manhattan. This period saw numerous office towers rise to reshape the downtown skyline.

The building accommodates numerous financial institutions and law firms, reflecting the professional character of New York's business community.

The tower is easily accessible by public transportation, with several nearby subway stations including Broad Street and Wall Street providing connections throughout the city. Getting to and from the building during peak hours can be busy, so arriving early or avoiding rush times helps make the experience smoother.

Upper floors of the building offer clear sightlines to New York Harbor and the point where the East River meets the Hudson River. This vantage point reveals the geographical significance of the location at the convergence of two major waterways.
