150 East 58th Street is a Privately Owned Public Space in Midtown East, featuring an indoor atrium that provides one of the more pleasant climate-controlled public spaces in the area.
The building is situated at the transition between the Midtown office district and the Upper East Side residential neighborhood. East 58th Street marks the approximate boundary between the two zones, and the POPS serves both communities.
Indoor atriums in Midtown East are especially valued during the winter months, when the wind-tunnel effects of the tall buildings make outdoor plazas uncomfortable. A well-designed atrium with natural light and plants can provide a genuine sense of escape from the urban environment.
The Midtown East area between 57th and 60th Streets is home to the luxury retail corridor of Madison Avenue, the Bloomingdale's flagship store on Lexington Avenue, and the residential towers that mark the beginning of the Upper East Side.
This indoor POPS provides an appealing publicly accessible space at the boundary between Midtown commerce and Upper East Side residential life.
