1301 Sixth Avenue is a Privately Owned Public Space in the northern reaches of the Sixth Avenue POPS corridor in Midtown. The plaza provides outdoor seating near the transition from Midtown to the Upper West Side residential neighborhood.
This building is near the southwest corner of Central Park, placing its POPS within a short walk of one of the most famous urban parks in the world. Office workers from the building can reach the park in minutes for a lunchtime walk.
The area around Columbus Circle has seen significant development in recent decades, with luxury residential towers, hotels, and the Time Warner Center reshaping the skyline at the park's southwest corner.
The POPS at 1301 Sixth Avenue serves a transitional zone between Midtown's commercial intensity and the residential character of Central Park West. The space sees a mix of office workers, tourists, and residents.
This plaza marks the northern boundary of Midtown's corporate plaza landscape, beyond which the city's character shifts from commercial to residential.
