Home Insurance Plaza, Office skyscraper in Financial District, Manhattan, US.
Home Insurance Plaza is a 44-story office tower in Manhattan's Financial District that rises 630 feet (192 meters) high. The building contains about 907,000 square feet (84,000 square meters) of office space and is served by 25 elevators throughout its levels.
The building was designed by architect Alfred Easton Poor and opened in 1966 as a modern commercial complex. It underwent significant redevelopment by Kohn Pedersen Fox in 1987 to update the structure for changing needs.
A large mural titled Liberty by Julie Harvey covers the building and shows New York's evolution from early cobblestone streets to modern skyscrapers. This artwork tells the city's story visually and shapes how this part of the Financial District looks to visitors.
The tower is located at 59 Maiden Lane in the Financial District and houses various tenants including the New York State Comptroller's office. The site is well served by public transit and sits among other office buildings in this busy financial zone.
The structure played a role in the vertical expansion of Lower Manhattan during the mid-20th century building boom. Its design shows how the Financial District developed its skyline during this period of major office construction.
