The Equitable Building
120 Broadway — also known as the Equitable Building — is one of Lower Manhattan’s most iconic office towers. Spanning a full city block in the heart of the Financial District, the building blends historic grandeur with modern functionality. Originally completed in 1915, its Beaux-Arts architecture, soaring ceilings, and expansive floor plates continue to attract a diverse roster of tenants. Under the stewardship of Silverstein Properties, the property has undergone thoughtful upgrades, including a recently renewed lobby that enhances the arrival experience while preserving its landmark character. With immediate access to major subway lines and proximity to the waterfront, 120 Broadway offers a prestigious address paired with the infrastructure today’s businesses demand.
