Neighborhood Highlight: Brookfield Place

Overlooking the Hudson River in North Battery Park City sits The Solaire, an elegant LEED-certified full-service residential building neighboring one of New York City's premier shopping, dining, and lifestyle complexes, Brookfield Place. Living at The Solaire integrates residents into one of Manhattan's most celebrated Downtown destinations.

The focal point of Brookfield Place is the spectacular 10-story glass-vaulted Winter Garden atrium, home to year-round shopping, dining, and cultural events. Panoramic views showcase Lower Manhattan and the Hudson River. Visitors can also discover over 60 shops spanning luxury designers like Adam Lippes (whose sole physical retail outlet resides within Brookfield Place) to contemporary brands such as Madewell, Theory, Zegna, Bottega Veneta, and more.

In the dining realm, Brookfield Place is a gastronomic wonderland. Brooklyn-based Black Seed Bagels serves up Montreal-style bagels, which have a slightly sweet, dense interior compared to traditional New York bagels. But the oven doesn't stop after the morning rush; fresh batches continue coming out all day long, ready to be loaded up with fixings like salmon schmear, chive cream cheese, and housemade bacon jam. Over at Le District, a European-style marketplace, the French fare spans three bustling restaurant spaces. Take a seat on the Liberty Bistro terrace, where you can enjoy a glass of Bordeaux and savor the delicious steak frites while immersing yourself in the vibrant ambiance.

Brookfield Place happy hours mean cocktails with waterfront views at Tartinery or classic drinks alongside freshly shucked oysters and seafood towers at P.J. Clarke’s iconic bar.

Brookfield Place consistently radiates cultural richness with its diverse calendar of vibrant events. The Winter Garden atrium hosted the captivating Luminaries exhibit, running from November 24, 2023, to January 6, 2024. This exhibit featured a breathtaking display of colorful lanterns curated by the LAB at Rockwell Group, creating an enchanting ambiance. Following this, the Winter Garden Gallery now features "Threads of Belonging: The Migrant Experience in Material Expression" by Anila Quayyum Agha, scheduled from January 17, 2024, to May 13, 2024. This exhibition uniquely showcases the migrant experience through various artistic expressions. Moreover, throughout the year, the Brews at Brookfield Place event invites visitors to indulge in a selection of New York City's finest craft beers under the iconic palm trees of the Winter Garden.

For residents at The Solaire, a complex of culture and cuisine resides just next door at the one-of-a-kind Brookfield Place.
