Located in Lower Manhattan, the Oculus is a stunning architectural masterpiece that doubles as a premier shopping destination. Designed by Santiago Calatrava, the structure resembles a bird in flight, symbolizing hope and resilience. The interior of the Oculus is just as breathtaking, with its soaring white ribs and natural light flooding the space, creating a serene atmosphere amidst the hustle and bustle of New York City. The Oculus houses a curated selection of high-end and contemporary retailers, including Apple, Kate Spade, and Eataly, offering a blend of fashion, technology, and gourmet dining. Its central location makes it a hub for tourists and locals, connecting the World Trade Center, PATH trains, and the New York City subway system. Beyond shopping, the Oculus serves as a cultural landmark and a tribute to the spirit of the city.
