1370 Sixth Avenue is a Privately Owned Public Space near the top of the Sixth Avenue POPS corridor in Midtown, adjacent to Columbus Circle and the entrance to Central Park.
This plaza is among the closest POPS to Central Park on Sixth Avenue, giving it a transitional character between the commercial district and the park. Workers from the surrounding offices use the space for breaks before or after lunchtime walks in the park.
Columbus Circle, visible from this location, has been transformed from a traffic-choked intersection into one of Manhattan's most attractive public spaces, with a redesigned central island, improved pedestrian crossings, and the striking facade of the Deutsche Bank Center.
The area around Columbus Circle serves as the gateway between three distinct Manhattan neighborhoods: the Midtown commercial district to the south, the Upper West Side to the north, and Central Park to the east.
This POPS occupies a privileged position at the junction of Manhattan's corporate and residential worlds, steps from the park that provides the city's most important escape from the built environment.
