30 West 61st Street is a Privately Owned Public Space near Columbus Circle on the Upper West Side, providing an outdoor plaza at a residential building near the entrance to Central Park.
Columbus Circle marks the southwest corner of Central Park and the meeting point of Broadway, Eighth Avenue, Central Park West, and Central Park South. The circle has been transformed from a traffic-choked intersection into one of Manhattan's most attractive public spaces.
The Deutsche Bank Center (formerly Time Warner Center) at Columbus Circle houses luxury condominiums, a Mandarin Oriental hotel, Jazz at Lincoln Center, high-end retail, and Michelin-starred restaurants, all within a dramatic pair of glass towers.
The POPS serves the Upper West Side's southernmost residential blocks, where the neighborhood meets the commercial and cultural energy of Columbus Circle and the park entrance.
This plaza provides public space at one of the most dynamic intersections in Manhattan, where the Upper West Side, Midtown, and Central Park converge.
