How to Get to 20 Exchange Place #

It’s a short walk from several subway stations - Broad Street (J/Z) and nearby Wall Street stations (2/3/4/5) - and is easily reached on foot from other downtown transit hubs such as Fulton Street. Located in downtown New York City, driving from Midtown is typically a 15-30 minute trip depending on traffic.

Tips for Visiting 20 Exchange Place #

  • 20 Exchange Place is primarily a private high-rise with limited public access, so plan to admire and photograph its Art Deco crown and ornamented setbacks from public vantage points such as South Street or the East River promenade rather than expecting lobby tours.
  • If you need interior access (for research or filming), contact the building management in advance-occasional public events or open-house programs are the most reliable ways to see inside.
