20 Broad Street is a 33-story rental building with 521 units that underwent a significant transformation from its 1956 post-war origins to a modern residential tower following a 2017 conversion. Located in the heart of the Financial District between Exchange Place and Wall Street, the building sits on one of NYC's most historically significant streets, paying homage to a space once designated for the New York Stock Exchange. The location places residents within view of Federal Hall and the NYSE itself, while Broad Street's rich history includes being home to the city's first firehouse and the revolutionary meeting place Fraunces Tavern.
The residences range from studios to three-bedroom apartments, with many featuring luxury finishes, high ceilings, and grand picture windows that flood units with natural light and city views. Notable layouts include alcove studios that function more like one-bedrooms, and a unique three-bedroom penthouse with 13-foot ceilings that stands as the only unit of its kind in the building. Most apartments come equipped with in-unit washers and dryers, while kitchens typically feature stainless steel appliances, dishwashers, and ample counter space.
The building's amenity package, designed by architects Cetra Ruddy, includes a Sky Lounge, rooftop terrace, Technogym fitness center, game room, library, and children's playroom, along with 24-hour doorman and concierge services. The Financial District location provides exceptional transportation access, with multiple subway lines (4/5, 2/3, R/W, 1), PATH train, and ferry terminal all within walking distance.
Residents enjoy proximity to Battery Park City waterfront, Stone Street's dining scene, and South Street Seaport, while everyday conveniences like Whole Foods and various shopping options are steps away. The building successfully bridges the gap between the area's historic significance and modern urban living, offering residents both the convenience of contemporary amenities and the unique character of one of Manhattan's most storied neighborhoods.

Add Your Own Comment
This "mixed-use residential tower" in the "heart of the Financial District" offers "convenient" Wall Street living with "friendly doormen" and "complimentary membership" to a nearby gym. While the "dual hotel-residential setup" means "shared common spaces," the building's "prime location" puts you "steps from major subway lines" and the NYSE.
