20 Broad Street

20 Broad Street is a rental apartment building at 20 Broad Street in the Financial District of Manhattan, converted by Metro Loft Management. The building was for decades an office annex to the New York Stock Exchange next door, and was turned into rental apartments in one of the largest of Lower Manhattan’s office-to-residential conversions.

It stands directly beside the Exchange, with Federal Hall, Trinity Church and the Stone Street restaurant lane within a block. The Wall Street stations on the 2, 3, 4 and 5 lines and the J and Z at Broad Street are at the door, and the Fulton Center, the Oculus and Battery Park are each a short walk away.

Completed in 1957, the 30-story building holds 533 apartments after its conversion. Sharing a block with the New York Stock Exchange gives it one of the most recognizable addresses in the Financial District, and it sits inside the security zone around the Exchange, where Broad and Wall Streets are closed to most traffic.

That makes the immediate blocks unusually calm for Lower Manhattan in the evenings and on weekends, though the area fills with office workers and visitors during the day.
