One North End Avenue, Financial office building in Lower Manhattan, United States.
One North End Avenue is a modern office building in Lower Manhattan with 16 floors rising about 255 feet (78 meters) high. The exterior features tan granite and reflective silver glass windows that give the structure its distinctive appearance.
The building was completed in 1997 and became the new home for commodities trading operations in New York City. It was built after the exchange moved from its previous location and represents an important shift in the city's financial infrastructure.
Four American flags hang at the top corners of the building, added after September 11, 2001. They have become a visible symbol of the neighborhood's identity and resilience.
The building sits in Battery Park City close to the Hudson River waterfront with good access via public transportation. Walking paths along the water make it easy to explore the surrounding neighborhood and reach other major sites downtown.
The western facade curves gracefully along the Hudson River while the other sides align straight with Manhattan's street grid. This unusual design creates a distinctive form on the riverside that becomes especially visible when walking along the waterfront.
