1755 Broadway is a Privately Owned Public Space near Columbus Circle, at the northern edge of the Midtown commercial district where Broadway approaches Central Park.
This stretch of upper Broadway transitions from the commercial intensity of Times Square and the Theater District into the more residential character of the Upper West Side. The POPS marks this transition with an outdoor plaza serving both constituencies.
Columbus Circle, one block north, has become one of Manhattan's most attractive public spaces following its redesign in the early 2000s. The POPS at 1755 Broadway benefits from the improved pedestrian environment of the surrounding area.
The nearby Deutsche Bank Center (formerly Time Warner Center) and the Shops at Columbus Circle have made this intersection a major retail and dining destination, adding to the pedestrian activity around the POPS.
This plaza serves the converging populations of Midtown office workers heading home, Upper West Side residents heading out, and tourists making their way to or from Central Park.
