250 Vesey Street

250 Vesey Street is a 34-story office building located in the Financial District. The structure provides extensive workspace and connects internally to other major commercial spaces nearby.

The building was completed in 1986 under the design of architect César Pelli. Following damage from the September 11, 2001 attacks, extensive repairs continued until 2002.

The building holds a memorial dedicated to American Express employees who died on September 11, 2001. This tribute serves as a quiet space of remembrance for those who pass through the building.

The building connects directly to eleven subway lines and PATH trains, making arrival easy from most parts of the city. The central location means multiple transportation options are within walking distance.

The building connects to the Winter Garden, a public courtyard featuring palm trees originally brought from the Mojave Desert. These unexpected tropical plants create a surprising green refuge in the heart of the financial center.
