Exchange Place is an urban area of Jersey City, New Jersey on the shore of the Hudson River, that is sometimes referred to as "Wall Street West". The Goldman Sachs Tower and other buildings are home to many financial corporations.
The neighborhood is served by the Exchange Place PATH station, which provides service to Newark, Hoboken, and Lower Manhattan. The area is also served by the Exchange Place station on the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, which provides northbound service to Hoboken Terminal and Tonnelle Avenue in North Bergen, and southbound service to West Side Avenue in Jersey City and 22nd Street in Bayonne.
The area was formerly the northern terminal of the Pennsylvania Railroad — the Exchange Place (PRR station) — until the construction of rail tunnels under the Hudson River provided direct access to Manhattan at the newly-constructed Pennsylvania Station.
A statue dedicated to the Katyn massacre is featured in front of the Exchange Place station.
