50 West Street is a Privately Owned Public Space at a luxury residential tower in the Financial District near Battery Park City. The outdoor plaza provides public space at the base of one of the tallest residential buildings in Lower Manhattan.
The building at 50 West Street, designed by Helmut Jahn, is a 64-story residential tower that has become a landmark of the Lower Manhattan skyline. The building's crystalline glass facade catches the light from the harbor, creating a distinctive presence on the waterfront.
The proximity to Battery Park City, the Hudson River waterfront, and the 9/11 Memorial places this POPS in one of the most historically and geographically significant sections of Lower Manhattan.
Lower Manhattan's residential population has grown dramatically since the 1990s, with luxury towers like 50 West Street attracting families, professionals, and international buyers to what was once a purely commercial district.
This plaza provides public outdoor space at the base of a residential tower that has helped redefine Lower Manhattan as a 24-hour neighborhood.
