It seems that your definition of CBD is puzzling. If the J-M-Z Chambers Street station is "just outside the CBD" then just what do you called that very tall building that sits on top of the station? Its called the Municipal Building, and near it are 1 Police Plaza, several court buildings, and other office buildings. If that collection of buildings is not a part of a business district

The building on top of the station is called The Municipal Building. It was designed by McKim, Mead and White, and I can see it from my apartment window. It is one of my favorite buildings. Rather than debate if this is in the downtown CBD, lets just change my references to the Financial District.


Just for the record, the "central business district" (CBD) has been defined for decades as that area from the bottom tip of Battery Park to 60th Street inclusive in Manhattan.

The City considers the Downtown and Midtown CBDs to be distinct. The RPA considers them to be distinct. The Federal Government considers them to be distinct. Who considers all of Manhattan below 59th St to be part of one CBD?
