1330 Sixth Avenue is a Privately Owned Public Space in the northern Midtown section of the Sixth Avenue corridor, near the transition to Central Park and the Upper West Side.
This area of Sixth Avenue in the mid-50s marks the boundary between the corporate towers of Midtown and the residential neighborhoods that begin north of 57th Street. The POPS serves both constituencies.
The 1330 Sixth Avenue building is near several major hotels, including the Hilton Midtown and the Sheraton New York, which bring convention-goers and tourists to this part of the avenue. The POPS provides outdoor space for this transient population.
Sixth Avenue's character changes noticeably as it moves northward through the 50s: the buildings become slightly lower, the blocks feel less canyon-like, and the proximity to Central Park begins to open up the sky.
This POPS serves as one of the final corporate plazas before Sixth Avenue enters the residential precincts of the Upper West Side, marking the boundary of Manhattan's commercial core.
