The site of 85 Broad Street–a property in the middle of the first paved street in Manhattan–embodies the evolution of New York.

The question always on the designers’ minds: “How do you transform a 1980s corporate lobby for the 21st century when it has a landmark protected 400-year-old street running through it?”
