Zuccotti Park
This barren 33,000-square-foot parcel is not actually a park, but a
privately-owned public space created in 1968 by US Steel in exchange for a
height bonus on the building they were constructing at 165 Broadway. In 2006 it
was renovated, reopened and named after John Zuccotti, the chairman of
then-owner Brookfield Properties. It gained special notoriety when it was used
for the Occupy Wall Street protests from 27 September to 15 November 2011.
