235 East 40th Street is a Privately Owned Public Space near the Tudor City residential enclave in the Murray Hill / Midtown East area, providing outdoor seating at a residential building.
The blocks east of Third Avenue in the upper 30s and low 40s occupy a quiet residential zone between the busy commercial corridors of Lexington and Second Avenues and the diplomatic district near the United Nations.
Tudor City, one block north and east, provides an elevated residential sanctuary above the bustle of 42nd Street. The complex's private parks and Gothic Revival architecture create a neighborhood-within-a-neighborhood that is unique in Manhattan.
The POPS serves residents navigating between the Murray Hill residential neighborhood and the transit connections at Grand Central Terminal, a 10-minute walk to the west.
This seating area provides a modest outdoor amenity at the intersection of Murray Hill's residential character and the Midtown office district's commercial energy.
