One North End Avenue, also known as the New York Mercantile Exchange Building, is an office building and the only non-tower financial building in Brookfield Place (World Financial Center) in Lower Manhattan, New York City. It is located on the coast of Battery Park City and the Hudson River and in front of 250 Vesey Street.[1] It serves as the headquarters and trading facility of the New York Mercantile Exchange.[2]
The New York Mercantile Exchange relocated from 4 World Trade Center to One North End Avenue in 1997,[3] after the directors of the exchange had considered moving to New Jersey for several years.[4] Following the September 11 attacks in 2001, the building suffered minor damage.[5] After 9/11, four American flags were affixed to the top corners of the building.
In 2013 Brookfield Properties purchased the building for US$200 million[6] and merged it with the rest of the complex.[7]
