489 Fifth Avenue is a Privately Owned Public Space on Fifth Avenue at 41st Street, one block south of the New York Public Library and Bryant Park in Midtown.
Fifth Avenue at 41st Street is at the southern edge of Midtown's most culturally significant corridor. The New York Public Library, Bryant Park, and the commercial towers of Fifth Avenue create an environment where learning, commerce, and public gathering coexist.
Bryant Park, transformed from an abandoned drug haven in the 1980s into one of the most successful urban parks in the world, sits directly behind the library. The park's success has become a model studied by cities worldwide.
The POPS provides indoor public access on Fifth Avenue near the institutions that represent New York at its most aspirational: a world-class public library offering free access to knowledge, and a revitalized park demonstrating the power of civic investment.
This lobby space serves the Midtown community near two of the most successful public institutions in New York City.
