1133 Sixth Avenue is a Privately Owned Public Space along the Avenue of the Americas in Midtown, continuing the corridor of publicly accessible plazas that characterize this section of Manhattan's commercial core.
The building at 1133 Sixth Avenue is situated near the headquarters of several major media companies and within walking distance of Times Square, Rockefeller Center, and the Theater District. The POPS serves this media and entertainment ecosystem.
Midtown's Sixth Avenue corridor is one of the most corporate environments in the world, with the headquarters of major banks, media companies, and law firms occupying the towers along the avenue. The plazas provide informal meeting spaces and lunch spots.
The design of Sixth Avenue POPS has evolved over the decades, from the spare, modernist plazas of the 1960s to more landscaped and furnished spaces in later buildings. Each generation of development has reflected changing ideas about what public space should look and feel like.
This POPS serves the enormous daytime workforce of Midtown Manhattan, providing a moment of outdoor space amid one of the most intensively developed commercial districts on Earth.
