Financial District

Welcome to Financial District

A historic Manhattan hub transformed into a modern waterfront community

The Financial District, often called FiDi, is at the southern tip of Manhattan, where New York City first began. Once known strictly for business and Wall Street’s bustling trading floors, the neighborhood has evolved into a vibrant residential destination. Today, sleek luxury towers rise alongside historic landmarks, offering residents a unique mix of old world charm and modern convenience. With Battery Park City’s serene waterfront and the energy of downtown, FiDi attracts professionals, families, and anyone seeking to be at the crossroads of history and progress.

The neighborhood is defined by its dramatic skyline, cobblestone streets, and proximity to both the Hudson and East Rivers. Its blend of towering skyscrapers and tucked-away restaurants makes it an exciting place to live with a strong sense of community amidst the city’s global financial heart.
