Building Description

Covering an entire city block in Clinton and Hell's Kitchen and part of a three-building complex, One Worldwide Plaza offers 1.6 million square feet of office and retail space. Rising 49 stories above the city (as the 68th-tallest building in the U.S.), the 1989-built tower features a prominent rounded main entrance on 8th Ave., as well as entrances on both 49th and 50th streets.

The 50th Street Station for subway lines A, C, and E operates under the building. The building's base consists of concrete and granite, while the tower is brick. The pyramidal glass and copper roof tops off the building, and is lighted at night. A plaza designed for public use splits the building from its other two structures. With lush landscaping, a cafe, seating, and an enormous sculpture that oversees a fountain, the courtyard offers a lovely respite from the hectic city. Five off-Broadway theaters call the space below the plaza home.
