250 Vesey Street, formerly Four World Financial Center, is a part of the Brookfield Place complex in Lower Manhattan, which houses the international headquarters of Merrill Lynch. The building was formerly home to the Merrill Lynch trading floor, which is now located in the Bank of America Tower (New York City).[1]

Rising 34 floors 500 feet (150 m), and situated between the Hudson River and the World Trade Center site, Four World Financial Center is located in the heart of the Financial District. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, the building sustained major damage to its roof, however the general damage to the building was nowhere near as great as the other three towers.

The structure was renamed 250 Vesey Street when the rest of the complex became Brookfield Place in 2014.[2]
