One Liberty Plaza, International style skyscraper in Lower Manhattan, US
One Liberty Plaza is an office tower in Lower Manhattan that rises 226 meters and spans 54 floors. The facade consists of black steel and mirrored glass panels that reflect light differently depending on the time of day.
The tower was completed in 1973 on the site of two older buildings and opened during the first global oil crisis. Over the following decades, the main tenants changed several times, with large finance firms occupying most of the office space.
The name refers to the original Liberty Street, which once housed horse markets and smaller trading businesses. Today, banks, law firms, and finance companies share the floors, while a small café in the lobby draws office workers from across the area.
The location is best reached via Fulton Street subway station, which is just a few steps away. The building is open during business hours on weekdays, though visitors should note it is a private office complex.
After the events in September 2001, engineers thoroughly examined the structure and confirmed its stability despite its proximity to Ground Zero. Today, the building serves as an example of 1970s construction methods designed for earthquake resistance and wind loads.
