A NEW VENUE DOWNTOWN

The WSA building at 161 Water Street in NYC has been masterfully transformed from a corporate tower into a luxuriously curated, creative sanctuary. Once occupied by suits selling insurance, the sleek, roaring ‘80s building now serves as a hub for New York’s most forward-thinking creative class. With designer amenities and a hospitality-first ethos for the world of events, WSA is the much talked about, vibrant creative landmark where an engaged community of designers, artists, and cultural innovators converge. Modern, flexible and polished, with light-filled interiors, sweeping views of the East River, and a cultural buzz make it a standout destination—an inspiring backdrop for our design fair in the heart of Lower Manhattan
